We’ve added Chicago Mercantile Exchangemicro contracts, to our line-up, micros are 1/10 the size of a normal contract enabling a 25K to 50K account the same diversification that use to require 250K to 500K. Micros are excellent for “trial accounts” and enable you to capture a small piece of the beautiful up and down trends we’re seeing in 2022. For allocations that trade mini and micros see allocations 22-50.

7) Using-this-spreadsheet you can create your allocation of the contracts above and review 2014-2022 performance.

    • Download and enable editing (allow 15-45 seconds)
    • Enter markets and number of contracts traded in columns I-K rows 19-43
    • Minimum start balance shows in cell H-29 or enter your own in cell H-19
    • Cumulative profit net of all spreads and fees, cell H-20
    • Drawdown cell H-22
    • Risk tolerance (what you should be prepared to risk) cell H-30
    • Monthly and annual performance columns B-H
    • Performance by market columns l-IX

Any allocation can be traded automatically for your account.

Using any reasonable risk tolerance & maintenance balance but it should be realistic, in 2023 with the benefit of hindsight, diversification and optimization a capable analyst with access to 6,200 hedgefunds, CTA’s and trading programs could optimize actual or hypothetical performance and produce an allocation where there are no losing months over a 9 year period (allocations 21 & 47 are two). To get a realistic handle on risk I’d recommend you start with mini & micro contacts or track actual trades as they occur here. 

Every firm we use segregates customer accounts, all balances are guaranteed plus or minus trading activity by the Financial Safeguard System, for over 100 years they’ve been protecting customer balances with zero defaults.
