THERE IS RISK IN TRADING FUTURES AND PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
Tasty Meats for Small Accounts
Since the beginning of 2007 through August 24, 2007, there have been 68 day and swing trades in the Meats Sector with a gain of $4,280 excluding commission and slippage with a single contract per trade. That is about 9 trades per month with an average gain of $552 per month.
There are two futures markets in our Meats sector: Live Cattle and Lean Hogs. We use the standard contract size.
There were 20 swing trades with a gain of $2,120 excluding commission and slippage. The average gain per trade is $106. When a loss occurred the average loss was $319 and the worse single loss was $400.
There were 48 day-trades with a gain of $2,160 excluding commission and slippage. The average gain per trade is $45* (see note in continued article). When a loss occurred the average loss was $102 and the worse single trade loss was $390.
This means about 29% of the trades are swing trades and 71% day trades. The swing trades tend to have a higher profit per trade, take longer in time (they are usually held overnight), and have higher risk. Whether you wish to trade one or both of the systems is dependent on your risk and reward preferences. But day and swing trade recommendations are included with a subscription.

At ExitPoints.com we have been having a good year.
Our day and swing trade recommendations cover 32 domestic futures markets from 8 different market sectors. There is only one day-trading system and one swing trading system. The SAME two totally mechanical systems are used on all the markets. The entries are based on volatility breakout filtered by momentum, cycles, and Fibonacci time ratio techniques. We trade the standard sized contracts with the exception of S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 2000, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas. For these latter markets we trade the mini sized contracts.
My trading systems are about 50% accurate. So you"ll see about as many losers as winners. The way we make money is that on average the winners are about 50% larger than the losers (payoff ratio is about 1.5).
Here is the breakdown by sector from 1/1/07 to 8/23/07. The numbers include both day and close swing trades and exclude commissions and slippage. They are for a single contract.
