Great Trading Systems (GTS)  has primarily come about from many years of seeking, testing and throwing away trading systems.

After six years of trading various markets via varying methods including spreadbetting, fixed odds betting, and direct access futures trading I thought it was time there was a dedicated site to all things “system trading”.

My interest in system type trading is compounded further by the fact that if I look over my trading records for the last 6 years, my best returns came during a time when I was trading a self devised system that had predetermined entry, exit and trade management rules.

Unfortunately the systems only remained profitable for 6 months or so and started to make break even returns when the volatility increased in 2008. But it certainly opened my eyes to the potential of system trading.

I still haven’t made any firm conclusions as to whether a system based on indicators or a system based on some numerical, statistical or algorithmic method is the way the go. My system was based on a statistical occurrence on the FTSE 100 Futures that occurred at the open.

I hope that this site will answer some of the questions I have and also answer any questions that the readership may have too.
