A major breakthrough in system development
The fact is, most trend following systems sold or produced today are very similar and have not changed much in 30 years. There may be slight differences in precise entry and exit points; but on the whole, it's hard to classify many of them uniquely. One enormous reason for this is that the technologies used to make those systems are in most cases similar.
Unfortunately, most of those systems have suffered rather mediocre performances in recent years. Part of the problem is keeping up with the times. It’s difficult to go faster and faster if you never get a better car. You can try different fuel, aerodynamics, tires, etc. However, those minor tweaks will only lead to modest improvements. It's only after getting a more powerful car with significantly increased horsepower and the latest engineering & technology that serious (or quantum) leaps in performance will appear.
The market has become vastly more sophisticated and inhabited by well-financed professionals (money managers, etc.). If you don't have the means to compete with these professionals you're going to be at a tremendous disadvantage.
Fortunately, in recent years I attained what I believe to be the most advanced quantum leap improvement in trading system development software. Since that time I have relentlessly worked to produce my newest trading system incorporating this leading edge technology. This system is called The Relativity Trading System.
Surprising New Discovery...
The principal idea for Relativity formed over many years of research. For a long time I tried harder and harder to perfect my entry and exit techniques. In the process I was able to invent ways that significantly outperformed simpler approaches. However, a persistent Achilles heel was always present. No matter how good of a system I came up with, the reality remained that the system still only performed well during periods that were conducive to its logic. To use an analogy, no matter how many tweaks I made to the snowmobile, the fact remained it only worked optimally when there was snow! Once summer came my fine tuned machine was worthless.
You may be saying to yourself "then only trade your system when there is snow (the right conditions)" Indeed that's an excellent idea if only it was that simple. Unfortunately, markets are changing their "seasons" all the time. Furthermore, we often don't realize conditions have changed until were already in the middle of a blizzard while still wearing our tropical shirts and shorts!
It was these realizations that lead me down a new research path. That path was one of designing systems that are continuously deciding what markets to consider instead of only picking when to trade them. In other words, if you asked me what 20 commodity markets I have on my radar for potential trades today I can tell you. However, if you questioned me again next week it might be a different 20 markets! This is in contrast to most system approaches that start with a static portfolio and will only ever trade those markets. The difficulty with choosing a static portfolio is what happens if the best markets in the future are NOT the ones you have chosen for your portfolio?
To solve this problem I investigated systems
that would allow me to monitor 70 or 80 markets at any given time. Then by filtering conditions, only a small number of those markets would be on the "possibly trade" list. Doing this also allows a relatively small account the opportunity to trade a very large mix of global commodities. Keep in mind, if you don't filter those 70 or 80 markets you would likely need a 7 figure account to trade them all!
Additional Breakthroughs..
Along with creating dynamic portfolio algorithms I also incorporated another dynamic idea. This time the emphasis was on the risk control and money management part of the equation. This breakthrough is called:
Dynamic Money Management
The traditional approach to risk control and money management has found itself badly lacking, particularly in recent years. Typically trading systems will include some forms of static risk control logic. For example, a rule that says “don't risk more than X dollars per trade, etc.” Another popular rule stipulates that you not have more than one or two related markets in your portfolio at a given time, etc. However, in spite of good intentions, I determined that these basic methods were woefully inferior to a more active approach.

Lets face it..
A big problem that often occurs with trend following systems is that often times the rate at which gains are locked in is substantially slower than the profits are obtained. In other words, you may buy a contract with $2,000 of initial risk; however, if the trade moves aggressively in your direction you may end up in a position where your stop is now trailing $6,000 behind. This means your risk in the trade has just tripled!
Furthermore, this type of circumstance can happen in multiple trades at the same time. This means you can end up going from total account risk of less than 10% to total risk more than 40% or 50%, etc.! This type of situation often leads to enormous drawdown’s.
With dynamic money management you can deal with these positions much better because you're not only managing the initial maximum risk on trade entry, but you're also managing your ongoing changing risk. The advanced logic in RTS permits modifications in your existing open trades based on changing "open equity" risk considerations.
For example, instead of just saying: “I will risk x dollars per trade”
You instead say:
“I will risk X dollars per trade only if the risk in all of my other trades is less than Y. Also, it's required that my risk in related positions is less than Z. Additionally, If my portfolio risk exceeds x percent after mixed market movements, then make corrective open trade adjustments to bring the risk levels back in line!
The list of these situations is endless and I have invested considerable time refining what works the best. The Relativity Trading System makes use of these kinds of dynamic variables, thus making it highly unique.
Ask yourself this..
Do you know of ANY other commercially available trading systems that are able to resize trading positions "on the fly" based exclusively on underlying portfolio risk considerations?
I DON'T!
I have experimented with a few systems and platforms that claimed to offer these powers and I can honestly say that the claims were either exaggerated at best or deceptive at worst! In most of these cases you would need to be a full time computer programmer to code this yourself.
An amazing bargain..
The core technology that makes all of these features available sells for over $25,000 plus yearly maintenance fees. Also, that is ONLY for the application, you would still likely need to devote upwards of a decade of your time doing research with this technology to design something you were comfortable trading!
