Platinum Trading Strategy In Action
Here is an example of what the Platinum Strategy is looking to do. The following chart outlines actual trades placed in the market on May 30, 2008 using Continental Trading Strategies' automated trade entry system. In this instance, we are looking at the Platinum Strategy attached to one June 08 E-Mini S&P Contract. The strategy's dynamic rules predicted a stabilizing market that could be exploited if the market pushed too low or ran up too fast. In this case, the system's dynamic rules saw an oversold market at 1401.25 and predicted a subsequent run-up to around 1405.25. It then sensed an opportunity to exploit this stable market one more time with a short position back down to the 1402.75 area. Please note that the following chart is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of results one should expect on any given day. It is good to remember that, as with any automated, rule-based strategy, there are good days and bad days. Both Platinum and Diamond seek to limit the bad days with tight stop losses and exploit the good days by letting winning trades work.
