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 futures- and/or Forex and Cfd markets simultaneously. The contract size chosen in each market is in a strict relation to the overall investment capital. A single "worst case" trade can produce a draw down of around 5 % of the equity.
TrendCycles recommends an investment horizon of min. 3 years in order to smooth the results.

Can I add funds to my existing account?
Yes, you can do so at any time.

Can I keep my account but revoke the trading authorization of TrendCycles?
Yes, you can. Please inform the account carrying broker in written form.

Can I close my account at any time?
Yes, you can close your account without any prior notice.

Is historical performance indicative for future results?
Past performance is not necessarily indicative for future results. A long-term analysis of system trading performance is helpful for a better understanding of standard deviations of results.

By trading mini contracts we are able to professionally manage accounts starting from USD 5'000.-. TrendCycles levies a management fee of 2.4 % p.a. for those mini accounts.
