FAQ

Why System Trading?

Trading decisions taken by fundamental data and news are not free of human emotions. Therefore it is hardly possible to measure historical results in a neutral way. The only reality at the markets is the development of quotes. System trading means disciplinated alignment of technical trading parameters allowing the investor to participate in both market directions. It is statistically proven that such strategies can improve the overall performance dramatically while simultaneousely reducing the risk.

What are the specific risks of TrendCycles' trading system?

TrendCycles trades its own trading system, which is a market price based, trend following system. If a market tends sideways during several month, it might produce a series of loss signals. Therefore TrendCycles trades different markets simultaneously. The contract size chosen in each market is in a strict relation to the overall investment capital. By entering any new signal, the maximum stop risk is limited to ca. 1.5 % of the equity.
TrendCycles recommends an investment horizon of minimum 3 - 5 years in order to smooth the results.

Can I withdraw money or close my account at any time?
