System Description

The original Catscan was released in 1994. It has now been out for 13 years.. It used the same rules to trade 23 different commodity markets. It is a very unique, dual nature trading system. 99% of the current commodity trading systems are Trend Following systems. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that except for the fact that 70% of the time markets are not trending. Instead, they are in a Choppy mode. Trend following systems tend to get whipsawed to death in these Choppy time periods.

Catscan is very unique because it is actually two trading system in one. It has a Choppy Market mode and a Trending Market mode. Its proprietary Choppiness Index continually monitors the market. Based on the Choppiness Index reading, it automatically switches back and forth between the Choppy Market and Trending Market systems. Like a Chameleon Catscan adapts to the current market condition. This may explain why it has done so well compared with most other commodity trading systems.

In December 2006, after nearly 13 years, we finally came up with a big improvement to the original CatScan.  Initially it was privately released only to my current customers. Now for the first time we are releasing it to the general public.

Historically it has performed very well. (Following are TradersStudio test results (1/83-10/06) trading just 1 contract)

Catscan 4 generates its final stop order each evening for placement with your broker the next morning. The system also has two exit stops. Initially there is a simple protective Money Management Stop Loss in effect. Then as the trade progresses, the new Profit Protector exit stop kicks in. This signal tends to tighten up the stop to protect open trade profits.
