About this strategy

Trading a basket of commodities, using our VIX-3 algorithm. Model trades both ETFs and Futures.
Back test return/drawdown ratio >4. (Results have not been verified by C2)

3/13/25: Auto-trading starts - trading only ETFs for now

5/24/25: I have to split Commodity trading into 2 systems COMM-3F RTM and COMM-3F MOM because of some auto-trading restrictions One needs to follow both to follow the system. I reduced by half the subscription price

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
