Historical Backtested Performance of longtermtrading.com’s Ready-Set-Go system compared to Futures Truth other Top Ten Most Consistent Systems

Futures Magazine recently published an article entitled “Trading Systems: Buy or Build?” (Jan-2010), which discussed the relative pros and cons of building one’s own mechanical trading system or purchasing one from a commercial system vendor.

One portion of this article disclosed the historical backtested performance results of a number of commercially-available mechanical commodity trading systems that have been highly rated in the past. The tests were performed by Futures Truth Co. which is the acknowledged premier independent, 3^rd-party mechanical trading system testing authority.

Following are the results reported by Futures Truth when testing the unoptimized version of Ready Set-Go from 1991 through 2009 against a variety of other mechanical futures trading systems they also considered among their Top Ten Most Consistent Systems. Ready-Set-Go achieved an average annual return on margin plus the maximum intraday drawdown of 73.4% which was over twice the return of any of the other systems tested.
