Click here to request a copy of my Real Time Results

I released IndexTrader in April 2001 (when it was originally called SpiTrader and later officially renamed IndexTrader in April 2003) and it's now into its 9th year! IndexTrader continues to perform well since it's public release profiting during both bull and bear markets.

IndexTrader is a short term 100% mechanical index trading model. IndexTrader can be traded across world indices due to its surprisingly simple and robust methodology.  Regardless of whether you're trading the SPI, NIKKEI, TAIWAN, HANG SENG, DAX, FTSE or E-MINI S&P500 futures contracts with IndexTrader you will be following the same simple rules. IndexTrader can be traded with a AUD20,000 account commencing with two markets. Traders can add additional markets to trade as their accounts build. Please refer to my real time results as I have personally done this. Please review the results below to see whether IndexTrader may have helped your index trading and don't forget to request a copy of my Real Time Results!

IndexTrader's Recent Hypothetical Performance*

IndexTrader's Hypothetical Monthly Performance*
 Portfolio: SPI, NIKKEI, TAIWAN, HANG SENG, DAX, FTSE, E-MINI S&P**

IndexTrader's Hypothetical Equity Curve*

The robustness of IndexTrader's simple methodology is demonstrated by its success in exploiting its edge across multiple indices! As IndexTrader's equity curve shows above on a single contract basis its performance across all markets has been relatively consistent and smooth since 1992, demonstrating that IndexTrader doesn't rely on any individual large trades to make it profitable.

IndexTrader's Hypothetical Performance Statistics*

As you can see IndexTrader has performed strongly (hypothetically) with only a modest draw down of -$16,500 for a global portfolio consisting of the SPI, NIKKEI, TAIWAN, HANG SENG, DAX, FTSE and E-MINI S&P**. (See the following link for additional insight into IndexTrader's historical drawdowns: DRAWDOWN ANALYSIS )

Although IndexTrader only manages to win less than half of its trades its average win to loss ratio of 1.9 delivers an attractive positive expectancy of 40%.

IndexTrader's average losing trade is only -$614 and it averages over 10 signals per month, or over 2 trades per week. The average length of time in a trade is just 1 day.

The robustness of IndexTrader's methodology is demonstrated by its ability to profit across multiple indexes with the same simple rules.

If you don't have a short term 100% mechanical index trading model that can extract profits across multiple index contracts such as the;

  • SPI,

  • NIKKEI 225, 

  • TAIWAN

  • HANG SENG, 

  • DAX

  • FTSE100 or

  • E-MINI SP500?

Warning
*These performance figures are hypothetical only, showing the results of trading 1 contract per IndexTrader signal. No Money Management has been applied and all results have been converted to Australian Dollars (AUD). The following estimates were used for brokerage and slippage for the signals between 1992 and 2003 inclusive.
For signals since January 2004 AUD50 has been deducted for brokerage and slippage. Please be aware hypothetical results DO NOT indicate future success. Hypothetical results may under, or over compensated, for the impact, if any, of certain market conditions, such as but not limited to, poor liquidity, poor execution, competitive or expensive brokerage etc. In addition there are no guarantees the IndexTrader will continue to behave in the future as it has in the past and accordingly you should expect the IndexTrader's  WORST DRAW DOWN to be in the future and is therefore unknown. Traders need to be very aware there is RISK of loss in futures trading. Hypothetical, historic or actual results do not indicate future success.
** Please be aware the E-Mini S&P figures are based off the big S&P 500 contract with results adjusted to reflect the difference between contract sizes (i.e. S&P 500 Point = USD250, E-Mini S&P Point = 50USD).
