E-mini Day Trading - Avoid the Pitfalls |
 |
 |
 |
The E-mini Stock Index Futures traded at the CME Group offer the best markets for active day traders and e-mini day trading systems. Emini futures system trading is usually suitable for both large and small portfolios due to the fact that the deep liquidity and enormous daily volume of the E-mini products allow you to trade 100 contracts as easily as one contract (provided you have the necessary margin).
Worldwide Futures Systems has experience with the countless E-mini futures trading systems available. The majority of E-mini systems developed catastrophically fail within a very short time of release due to the fact that they have been over-optimized on recent data. Our experience tells there are only a select few that have stood the test of time and that are likely to continue to do so. Worldwide Futures Systems continually evaluates both new and existing emini futures trading systems. Many of these trading systems claim to make money everyday and guarantee profits year after year. In most, if not all cases, those results are simply unattainable.
Poor slippage estimation is the primary reason that the hypothetical results many emini futures trading system vendors present are unrealistic. The high activity of most emini day trading systems only serves to make accurate slippage estimation critical. By underestimating average slippage by just $2 on a trading system that trades once a day results in a $1,000 reduction in profits. Vendors regularly test and advertise their system using their “best-case”, and often, unrealistic slippage estimates. After all, a vendor’s goal is to sell the system.
Worldwide Futures Systems’ goal is to match our clients with the best robust trading systems available with a suitable risk/reward profile. To achieve that goal, we endlessly and objectively test countless E-mini futures trading systems using slippage estimates we have experienced in real-time trading. We identify each trading system’s strengths and pitfalls to determine their viability to be traded in a real-time environment with real-time slippage.
Our execution is carried out on state-of-art, automated execution platforms which can execute the trade nearly instantly when a trading system signal is generated, which often times can result in little or no slippage.
The systems below have been rigorously tested and evaluated and are systems that, in our opinion, could be included in almost any portfolio. Call us today at 888-989-WWFS for a consultation on how these E-mini futures trading systems can benefit your portfolio.

It has never been released to the masses and is only available through select IB's and CTA's. This allows for control of slippage, which is one of the main reasons for failure of all commercially available systems. This is a large (over 40 stand alone systems) and complex portfolio of systems. Each has been rigorously tested and evaluated. The portfolios are monitored daily for changes in volatility, slippage and correlation.
