FAQs
What type of trading strategy do you employ in the algo?
The strategy utilizes the breakout trading method designed to scalp the opening range volatility.
Can this algo trade other markets?
This algo is designed primarily for the index futures markets. However, certain stocks/ETFs fit the profile to profit from this algo as well.
What is the expected return for this strategy?
Returns are in alignment with volatility (higher volatility=higher returns). Subscribers can expect a monthly return of 3-4% (40-50% annually).
Does this strategy use stop loss to manage risk?
This strategy uses both price and time based stops to manage risk.
Will my performance using the algo match the advertised track record?
The results for each subscriber will depend on several factors such as execution latency, slippage, and broker commissions. We recommend subscribers to use AMP Futures as their futures broker, and to run the algo on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) that's co-located in Chicago IL to minimize latency.
What is the minimum starting capital required to trade with the algo?
We recommend a minimum starting capital of $5,000 to trade the micro contracts, or $50,000 to trade the emini contracts.
How much does the algo subscription cost?
The monthly subscription fee is based on the starting contract quantity set at minimum of $50 per micro contract ($5000 minimum capital to trade 1 micro contract). The starting contract is preset based on the user's initial trading capital.
Example 1: Trading account of $10,000 with recommended starting position of 2 micro contracts will be charged $100 per month.
Example 2: Trading account of $50,000 with recommended starting position of 1 emini contract (10 micro contracts) will be charged $500 per month.
Why does the subscription fee scales with the starting contract size?
We scale the subscription fee in a way that is in tune with the "pay for performance" approach. Users can start with smaller starting position with lesser fee and can scale with more contracts as they gain more confidence in the algo's performance over time. With this scaling model, we ensure that we are in alignment with the interests of our subscribers to deliver consistent results.
Do you offer refunds?
