Dear Investor,
Welcome to the Worldwide Futures Systems website. We are a full service commodity broker offering a unique approch to assisting you with the development of alternative investment strategies using futures trading systems. Our objective is to find a portfoio that meets your personal risk reward profile.
What makes us so unique? We don’t try to be all things to all futures traders. We do one thing and we do it well. We don’t offer hundreds of futures trading systems like other futures trading brokers. We offer only a handful. Why? Because with my 42 years of futures trading experience, I would trade only a few systems. If I wouldn’t trade them, why would I offer them to you?
Trading System Software selection is critical to the success of the portfolios but, unfortunately, the statistical information provided by futures trading system developers is often misleading, inaccurate and incomplete. We have done the heavy lifting for our customers. We have tested hundreds of systems with our proprietary in-house futures trading software. We offer only those futures trading systems that have met our demanding criteria.
I have been a futures trading broker, a Member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and a “pit trader” for thirty years. I will personally evaluate your goals and risk tolerance to attempt to match you with a futures trading system or portfolio that fits your profile. Most investors have no idea of the true risk/reward ratio of the system they choose. I am an experienced future broker that will explain in detail what the true risks are on your system based on past historical data. Our risk management team constantly monitors and reevaluates our futures trading system selections. Experience has shown us that risk management is the backbone of all successful trading systems. Changes in market volatility and market correlation are reviewed weekly to ensure a properly balanced portfolio.
A good futures trading broker may save his clients thousands of dollars a year in the execution of their futures trading system signals. At Worldwide Futures Systems we realize that good execution is the cornerstone of success for all trading systems. Common sense tells you that system trades will generate more slippage than an individual trade. Slippage comes right out of your bottom line so it must be controlled. In fact, some system developers present hypothetical results in thin markets which are totally unattainable. We will help you pick the right markets to trade and make sure that your fills are the best possible.
You are at a crossroads. Making key decisions about your portfolio without experienced evaluation may be dooming yourself to failure before you begin. However, if you allow Worldwide Futures Systems to help you make fully-informed decisions on the issues discussed on our website, you may well put yourself among the trading elite. That is a big statement, but consider this. There is no consistent presentation of the performance reports offered by 3rd party venders. For the systems that we offer we have taken the time to: look at the goals that customers may wish to achieve relative to the risk tolerance that may have to be endured, look at true past DD that might be reflected in a real account as compared to end of month closed out trade DD, consistency of returns compared to systems which might have made all their money on one or two trades, robustness of the systems-- was a Monte Carlo Simulation run on the system? Worst case scenario? Random exit? Are the parameters the same across all commodities? How much of the account equity is risked on each trade? What is the "bet size"? How does the system deal with increases and decreases in equity? Does the bet size change? What is the release date of the system? Has the system been "tweaked" since release date? Is slippage and commission included in the hypothetical performance report? Is the slippage reasonable? How often is market correlation and slippage checked? It can change significantly over a fairly short period of time. This can greatly change performance and risk/reward. We try to investigate these factors in all the systems that we trade. I don't think many other firms do this. As I am sure you are aware, less than 15% of all investors make money. Less than 5% make significant money. I, personally, have a positive expectation that if they trade the top ranked systems that we offer, they may make significant money which would put them in the trading elite. We could do everything right and still loose money. Of course, we can never guarantee profits and past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
I look forward to hearing from you so that we can begin evaluating your portfolio today!
Sincerely,
Tom Reavis
