Global Trading System
A global futures trading system is widely regarded as an excellent way to diversify a standard stock and bond portfolio. First, global trading systems have little if any correlation to stock portfolios. Studies by author Dr. John Litner of Harvard University and a confirming Chicago Mercantile Exchange study showed that the addition of a 20 percent investment in a diversified global futures trading system increased profitability and decreased risk over a 100 percent stock and bond portfolio. Second, global futures systems allow investors to take advantage of large moves in international commodities which are not directly accessed in the stock market.
As our large world becomes “smaller,” with instant communications and the ability to ship goods almost anywhere, participation in global trading strategies will continue to become increasingly important. For example, no longer can grain traders only worry about rain in Iowa and grain shipments on the Mississippi River in the U.S. They also need to worry about growing seasons in South America and demand in Asia, just the beginning of an endless supply of information.
Turning all this information into a precise, disciplined trading plan is next to impossible. However, allowing market price to be the lone information input in a global trading strategy automatically incorporates all the other information into just that—a precise, disciplined plan that was previously impossible.
2005 and 2006 hold several excellent examples of huge price moves in commodities influenced by international supply and demand that were widely missed by undisciplined traders due to the necessity of buying a seemingly already high-priced market. Copper and natural gas futures, to name just two, soared to new all time highs. These moves were almost exclusively caught by investors using a qualified global trading system.
All of the medium to long-term diversified futures trading systems that are offered by Worldwide Futures Systems trade these global markets and are what we consider to be qualified global trading systems. Our trend-following systems are designed to catch these moves. For example, the Turtle Trading System captured a $54,000 profit in Copper futures in the last twelve months and the Ready-Set-Go System netted over $31,000 in Natural Gas futures. Other markets that are global in nature are cocoa, sugar, grains, aluminum, rubber and of course, all the world’s major currencies. Even commodities such as live cattle and lumber have experienced significant price movement based on constantly changing international sentiment in the last few years.
