Disclaimer The risk of trading can be substantial and each investor and/or trader must consider whether this is a suitable investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Futures Trading Disclaimer:
Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily "leveraged". A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

XS-Platinum CT

The XS Platinum CT is the counter-trend component of the XS Alpha system. After close examination, the XS Alpha developer realized that the XS Platinum CT was definitely a system worth trading on its own. This component has been performing well as part of the XS Alpha for about 5 years and the results posted here have not been subjected to any type of optimization. The XS Platinum CT seems to strive in the existing "choppy" market but has also shown good results during the high volatility and trending market of the year 2000, making this system a robust and must have strategy to include in any trading portfolio. The XS Platinum only trades about 20 times a month on average and shows a low drawdown during the past 3 years.
