Futures Truth™ chooses Checkmate as one of its "Top 10 Most Consistently Performing Systems"

Checkmate is a truly unique commodity trading system. It trades the entire spectrum of commodities and does so with identical rule and parameter sets. This helps eliminate the problems associated with over optimizing and curve fitting. Checkmate meets the definition of a robust system. The primary performance goal with Checkmate is not maximum profit, but rather consistency of returns and minimization of drawdowns. Checkmate is very selective when entering the market, even when monitoring a large number of commodities Checkmate will usually only be in a small number of trades. The average margin requirement for Checkmate is often much less than other systems tracking the same markets. This makes it ideal for the smaller account trading a larger portfolio.

The logic is designed to capture mid-term trends. The system uses advanced trend filtering when entering and a combination of exits. On the trade examples page you can see that it is not uncommon for Checkmate to get out of profitable trades very near the recent high (or low) of the trend. This helps reduce the huge give back in open trade equity often seen in many trend following systems. This can make Checkmate a more psychologically "comfortable" system to trade. If your looking for broad diversification with solid risk control and mid-term timing then Checkmate might be right for you.
