Trading Description
KTS Trading is a technically based mechanical trend following system. The program invests in a balanced portfolio of agricultural, energy,
metals, index and foreign exchange futures and forward markets. Utilizing a strict set of fixed fractional and portfolio rules, short term losses are minimized while
long term gains are preserved. The Advisor uses price and volume data in every market to identify the start of a meaningful potential price change.
The system mechanically buys or sells short these markets as new trends show sings of development.
Quite often the system will stay out of the market for a period of weeks or even months if a new signal does not assert itself.
Risk Strategy
The trading program uses a fixed fractional approach to establish position size and initial risk for every new individual position.
This involves adjusting the position size and initial stop loss such that the same percentage or fraction of account equity is applied in a systematic and mechanical manner.
For every open position, an offsetting stop loss order is generated daily without exception.
These orders are then updated and confirmed on a daily basis for every account to reflect current price data.
