TRADE SYSTEMS INC.
Aberration
trading system was developed in 1986 to trade a basket of commodities.
It profitably trades across all eight commodity groups: the grains,
meats, softs, metals, petroleum products, currencies, financials,
and stock indices using the exact same rules and parameter value.
The system trades each commodity 3 to 4 times per year and is in each
market about 60 percent of the time. This longer term trading approach
yields an average profit of about $600 per trade across 57 worldwide
commodities after slippage and commission are deducted.
The key to Aberration's consistency is diversification across the
commodity groups. While some systems only trade the currencies,
financials, or stock indices, Aberration profitably trades all eight
of the commodity groups. The exposure to all groups allows profits
from the "moving" group to make up for losses in other
groups. In the course of a year, one or more commodities in each
group will make a big move. Aberration will pinpoint these, and
the profits from those trades will more than offset the losses from
the other groups. For system performance, by commodity, from March

Aztec
is a multi-commodity, shorter-term trading system. In contrast,
Aberration which is another TradeSystem, Inc. multi-commodity system
is longer-term than Aztec. Aztec uses trend and volatility cues
in the market to make trading decisions, and is really two systems
in one. In Mode 1, the system is almost always in the market, alternating
between long and short positions. In Mode 2, the system uses similar
entry logic, but only takes trades in the direction of the longer-term
trend. Mode 1 enters on a stop, while Mode 2 enters and exits on
the open (like Aberration does). Both modes use a volatility-based
protective stop.
