ABERRATION Trading Signals

Aberration is a longer-term trading system that trades all the commodity groups. Past trading history and disclosure can be obtained by contacting TradeSystem, Inc. at 800-372-3942. Remember, PAST RESULTS DO NOT INDICATE FUTURE PERFORMANCE and THERE IS A RISK OF LOSS IN FUTURES TRADING.

Signals and current positions are provided on the commodities listed below. The reporting is delayed by 10 trading days. Each commodity is designated by a three-letter symbol, and the currently traded month. Entries occur on the open of the day of the entry signal "at the market". Exits occur on the open of the day the exit signal is given "at the market".

Open positions are shown from the entry date. A continuous contract is used and the rollover date, should a trade last into the next lead contract, occurs when the open interest in the next-lead exceeds the open interest in the current lead. Transaction costs (slippage and commission) are not deducted from open trades.

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
