If you are interested in learning more about our automated system products, email us at info@decarleytrading.com.What is an Automated Futures Trading System?A automated futures trading system is a defined set of technical rules and parameters that ultimately determine entry and exit points for a given contract. In the event that all of the stipulated technical events occur, a buy or sell signal is created and a trade is automatically executed without human intervention. Each system is comprised of specific ingredients and circumstances, but they most commonly involve moving averages, stochastics and other computer-generated oscillators. As you can imagine, the results are highly dependent on how well the rules perform in various market conditions. Accordingly, system developers spend an incredible amount of time optimizing the system to manage risk and increase the odds of profitable results in any environment. ***Our clearing firm, PFG, has conducted due diligence on a handful of system developers in which have proven to be relevant. While past performance isn’t indicative of future results these systems have established respectable track records. Accordingly, we have confidence in recommending these products to our clients. |

The decision to trade online or through a full service broker will undoubtedly make a large impact on your bottom line. However, the impact may or may not be what you had in mind. If you aren’t ready to begin placing your orders online on your own, despite saving money on commission it may be the most costly mistake that you ever make. 
Deciding on a brokerage firm is a significant decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Before committing to a firm it is imperative that you research their services, experience, trading platforms and commission structure but more importantly whether your trading style and personality will be compatible. For example, a beginning trader shouldn’t look to a deep discount online brokerage firm simply because they likely won’t get the guidance that they will need as a novice. Similarly, a seasoned trader wouldn’t want to choose a firm that focuses on high-end service with a hefty price tag.
