Neal: What is the basis of your system? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.V.: I use a breakout system as the basis for my trading, but the key to the system is risk management. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Neal: What is the actual name of the software? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.V.: I use a software program called Trading Recipes. It allows me to write my own systems and to test an entire portfolio of commodities and futures rather than one at a time. It also allows me to determine how much risk I should run by testing the relationship between trade size, return, and drawdown. |

|
|
|
|
Neal: You don't hear too much about Trading Recipes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.V.: That's because they don't do a whole lot of promotion, and Bob Spear, the guy who developed it, now trades a multimillion-dollar commodity fund. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Neal: You are one of the few traders who have allowed me to analyze your statements for the past three years, and I see that you have been consistently profitable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.V.: That's right. I consider myself very fortunate. |

Neal: Recently, you did a presentation for an investment group. As you know, I modified it and called it ''Tickle Me." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C.V.: Yes, I recall that. |
|

Neal: I think our readers would benefit from this simple system. |
