Client Section Looing for an Investment Heavy Hitter for Your Portfolio?Author: Peter Swayze
All results include commissions and slippage. The system can profit in either up or down market conditions. It does not trade the market aggressively; averaging a dozen or so trades per month, and tends to enter the market on limit orders well after the open. Unlike many systems, Compass is not reliant on technical indicators, but instead looks for a basic trend while using Advancing/ Declining Issues and Up/Down volume numbers to determine the overall strength or weakness of the internals of the market. Because Compass is a day trading strategy, it is out of the market before the close, and investors are not exposed to overnight margin risks. Striker is the only broker that has traded this system for over 6 years.
Flush with his success as the developer of the lucrative Compass trading system, developer Jack Telford has also created a system to give smaller investors access to the energy market in the form of Tanker, a day trading system that trades the e-mini crude oil contract on $5000 initial capital. The system has traded live at Striker since October, 2005, and has returned over 28% since that time, as of May 31, 2006. Like Compass, Tanker can take advantage of either up or down moves in this volatile market, and enjoys a high degree of flexibility during either rally or pullback conditions. Given global supply uncertainties and Middle Eastern instability, it only makes sense to round out your investment portfolio with an investment vehicle capable of making money whatever the market conditions for oil. Indeed, according to a recent publication by the Chicago Board of Trade, including an element of managed futures in your investment portfolio may decrease portfolio volatility, because futures tend to have a low to slightly negative correlation with stock and bond markets. Thus, managed futures may also help provide a degree of diversification for investors.

Futures Trading Disclaimer:
Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options
on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small
relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions
are heavily "leveraged". A
relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact
on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against
you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds
and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your
position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are
increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on
short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request
for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated
at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.
Securities Trading
Disclaimer:
Unlike futures, which are regulated exclusively by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC"),
securities are regulated by both the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC")
as well as the investor's home State. Although Striker Securities, Inc. is
a registered securities broker-dealer with SEC, it is not registered to conduct
securities business in all 50 states.

Forex Trading Disclosure:
Trading cash Foreign Exchange ("FX")
contracts carries the same high level of risk as futures trading (Futures Trading
Disclaimer). However cash FX, unlike futures FX contracts that are regulated
by the Commodity Trading Futures Commission, are not regulated by any governmental
agency. In addition, because there is not a central clearing house for cash
FX transactions, there is also a counterparty risk for each contact. For additional
information please read the National Futures Association ("NFA") August 2003 "Investor Alert" found on the Striker Disclaimer Page.
