In 1997, Shadmi registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and launched trading Solutions.  In its first year, Trading Solutions’ “Program # 1” racked up a + 189% net return.*

TRADING PHILOSOPHY

Trading Solutions’ methodology is based on two major premises: using a mechanical entry and exit approach, and relying on a high degree of diversification across several different markets.  Program # 1 specializes in stock index futures, which includes contracts on the S&P 500, the Russell 2000, the Nasdaq 100, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Taiwan Stock index.  These markets can share a fundamental long-term direction, but frequently exhibit many opposite short term swings.  Additionally, the Program can generate signals using different time frames within a given market.  In having the ability to also short stock indices, Program # 1 is designed to potentially profit in up or down stock markets.

Program # 1 is a short term trading system with positions normally held not more than a few days.  It employs a number of different entry and exit techniques.  Trade initiations are based on many patterns.  They include price and volatility breakouts, reversals, chart formations, swings, price levels and gaps.  Exit techniques include protective, trailing, and volatility-based stop loss orders, as well as additional proprietary indicators.

PERFORMANCE

Since inception in 1997, Trading Solutions’ Program # 1 has gained a total compounded return of + 571.49 %* It has frequently been named one of the top-rated Managed Futures programs by independent rating services, such as the Daniel B. Stark Company.**  It is worth noting that some of the Program # 1’s best returns were realized during the bear market years of 2000-2002 in the U.S. stock market.
