"I’ve been trading for over 15 years and following Dean’s work for the past 3. Relativity is without a doubt one of the best decisions I have made in my trading career. I appreciate the efficiency of Relativity and its conservative approach to only pick the trades with the highest probability. Combined with the professionalism of Dean & Angus Jackson as my broker I feel they are in a class by themselves. That is what you should expect, but yet is so hard to find. I challenge anyone to find a better value in the industry."

My partner and I evaluated many systems before selecting Relativity and firmly believe we've made an excellent decision. Of the many systems we tested and developed, Relativity has the best risk-reward ratio and overall historical performance results. My partner and I are live-trading Relativity and are very pleased with the results so far. Another good decision we've made is to work with Angus Jackson as our broker to automatically execute the trades for us. Both you and Angus Jackson have provided good customer service and support and have made our trading experience enjoyable and successful. Keep up the great work Dean.

Hi Dean:

I'm writing to say that I'm very pleased with Relativity. Sure, the results have been great, but more than that I've been very impressed by both yourself and the guys at Angus Jackson. The combined commitment to systems trading and service shows in all the aspects of what you do. There's too many of the wrong kind of gurus in your business (and, trust me, I know because I've given my money to them). It's good to be surprised by professionalism and results.

Thanks again.

Hi Dean:

Buying a trading system is very much like buying a luxury automobile. You can read and reread the brochure, talk to the salesman, etc. but until you get in the car and test drive it for yourself, nothing else really matters. Relativity is much like a luxury automobile. It is a sophisticated methodology and has a lot of moving parts that actually work together. I took it apart, piece by piece and all of the components make perfect sense. Just the “scrubber” aspect of the program is worth the cost of the system. This feature eliminates the overly risky trades and certainly greatly reduces the volatility of the equity curve. In addition to my appreciation for all of the effort and research that went in to the design, more importantly, I am totally pleased with the actual results in real-time.

And, if you want a chauffeur for your new Relativity luxury trading system, just call the professionals at Angus Jackson in Ft. Lauderdale. Leave the driving to them.

Excellent product, Dean!

Dear Dean,

I am very pleased with the performance of my investment using the Relativity system since I started with it about six months ago. It is not just the return, which has exceeded my expectations this year, but also the attention to risk and money management that separates Relativity from the pack of other trading systems available today. It definitely looks like we are going to have a long term relationship in futures trading.

"Dear Dean,

I just realized that the two-year anniversary of my starting to trade ‘Checkmate” has just passed and I wanted to thank you once again for all the help and support you have given me during this time. I am, obviously, delighted with the way that the system has performed exceeding my expectations in every regard. I find that the system has very reasonable draw-downs and normally exits a position without giving back too much of the open-trade profit.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year."

"Dean,

Checkmate has been my primary trading system since January 2002. I have designed and purchased many systems over the past 10 years, but none have proven to be as robust as Checkmate. Most of the systems I have traded or researched turned out to be over-optimized methods that lose money in real time trading. The primary factors that drew me towards Checkmate were the low draw downs relative to returns and the non-optimized parameters. Prior to trading Checkmate in real-time, I did a very thorough analysis of the system with my own data. The system proved to be very stable even when the parameters were varied. Checkmate also held up very well in a Monte Carlo simulation. All of my testing results were closely correlated with your published back testing data. Thanks for designing a great system that is non-optimized, easy to trade, and has a low draw down."

"I have been trading with Checkmate for just under 1 year and have a broker who automatically executes my trades. I am really pleased with the results, both overall, and along the way. Although I am new to trading with money in the market, I did work seriously on the subject for about 10 years at one time. In that time period, I didn't come up with a system that I was willing to trade. I find Checkmate to have the best market entries I have seen and couldn't be happier with that. On exits, I have called my broker on several occasions about getting out and find Checkmate either has just gotten me out or has a stop that will be hit at any moment. Because of this, I am developing confidence that I can be at work or go out of town while in the market and not fret about what is happening all of the time. I find Checkmate to be an excellent way to diversify my portfolio in this time when the stock market hasn't treated me very well. Thanks for making this tool available, Dean."

Broker Testimonial:

"Angus Jackson has been in the future's business for over eighteen years and prides itself on working with clients for long term success. That same philosophy applies to the relationships we have with our system developers. We have always felt that working with a few key people and really understanding their work is a much better approach than offering a “supermarket” of systems , most of which do not work.

In my opinion Dean is a dedicated person and we thoroughly enjoy working with him. The best testimonial however is that I personally trade Synergy, Checkmate, and Fusion and that's not something you do no matter how nice a guy is."

"Having been a futures broker since 1986, and involved almost exclusively in systems trading since 1996, it is my experience that, for most traders, a diversified trend-following system gives them the best chance for success in the long term. Dean Hoffman's systems provide a consistent and systematic approach that incorporates the methodology with money management and the discipline that is essential for success. In particular, the position sizing element based on the per trade risk, and the placement of stops and profit targets sets this system apart from the others of this type. Dean is conscientious and thoughtful in his communications with clients. He has proven to be dedicated to providing the support and service that is important to anyone initiating a trading program. - Jerry V. Winter
