The Challenge of Trading Successfully and The Goal of The Trader
The challenges of trading successfully are pretty simple to articulate however in actuality trading is difficult. One needs to figure out when to buy, when to sell, when to short, when to cover so as to profit and if possible maximize the results of each trade given the trades time intervals and expectation of move and at the same time protect capital. The goal is to get in, get out, get paid. The published statistics of low success rates in the trading industry are sobering and repeated ad nauseum so I don't need to repeat them but suffice to say if all the statistics are even close to correct less than 5% of people are successful in trading.
If you are relatively new to trading, when you get started things are quite confusing then as they start to make sense you strive to get better and this should never wane. We went through the learning curve too. We faced the same challenges but in the outset had way less information at our fingertips and definitely none of the technology back when we started. Over time, we learned more, and adopted and integrated technology and input more math into our strategies and in time, we developed a tool that we use for ourselves and has helped individuals and professionals for years. Through our research we developed and devised what we believe are good strategies, systems and templates to navigate the markets to aid or signal to buy and sell at points that help us in our trading. You can see pictures below of our fast trading template in action.
This isn't our first rodeo, nor are we just researchers. We eat our own pudding. We have traded for private family offices and institutional proprietary accounts and have done well using our systems and we have coded our strategies to work on Ninja Trader 8 and as referenced below when we come up with a new iteration we will at times make it available to other traders, money managers, brokers, prop traders, educators, for a fee. It is not cheap, and it shouldn't be. We have invested the time, the research, the testing, and the real capital in developing the engine and the templates and the models.
Our extensive research and development led us to create a robust trading strategy. Our system and strategy are rules based and continue to perform well over extended time periods.
We have deployed our systems in real time using real capital over the course of several years.
We Believe that we have a strong Solution to a very difficult challenge:
We created a robust simple to deploy strategy that can be used as an indicator for buy - sell - short decisions and with the click of a switch can be turned into an automated trading strategy. The strategy that we are making available at this time works best on short time frames and is made for the trader who is interested in potentially having consistent results who trades NQ and ES Futures.
Our strategy combines trend, counter trend, breakout, breakdown momentum strategies into one strategy template that is automated. Our system is reactive and adaptive. We deploy the strategy currently primarily for the NQ and ES emini futures contracts.
You can consider it an indicator, an automated trading platform, a trading assistant or what we call it,... our "trading engine". What can it do for you? As an indicator it will make you smarter as a trader for short, medium and long term decision making. As a trading assistant it will inform you of entry and exit take profit, stop, and breakeven signals based on pre determined inputs in the market by alerting you via sound and the trading engine will allow you to backtest the strategies and or change the parameters of a strategy and backtest, walk forward test, out of sample test, and in sample test your own ideas. As an automated trading algorithm it will enter, and exit your trades on a rules basis using our pre researched template or your custom inputs as you can also change parameters and time frames if you wish.
You can buy or lease our Trading Engine:
We selectively lease or sell our Trading Engine which comes with one model. A trading model is an automated strategy that works right out of the gate. We deal with independent traders, pro at home traders, proprietary traders, as well as professional traders and boutique money managers. Our fees start at $3900 USD down and $250 per month or a one time fee of $6900 USD. Both of those options come with an onboarding call that should last between 1 hr. and 1.5 hrs. Our strategies work on Ninja Trader 8. We currently do not have a trial version but we are happy to provide a demo over zoom for serious individuals to discuss the system. We will only sell to a limited number of people and firms. If you would like to get in touch please send us an email to dcsa@protonmail.com or to set up an appointment click on this link and select a suitable time to meet on our calendar. www.calendly.com/deanalbrecht
Note: Our templates are not cheap. Nor should they be. If you had a strategy that was coded and tested and helped you for real in the markets and could prove it you would also ask for a sensible amount.
about us
I have been in the algorithmic and systematic investment and research genre for over 20 years. I have also traded capital for private family offices and prop firms and have what very few people have in this genre have, which are real proven results.
20 years ago, armed with my experience, and the assistance of a handful of very smart people made up of programmers with backgrounds in math and stats, I put together a system and strategy for trading and swing trading that have been in use since 2003. Simply put, the systems are based on statistics, probabilities and behavioral science. We use pattern recognition techniques using math and software to identify repeating patterns. We examine historical price movement during several market fluctuations including but not limited to interest rates, political, geopolitical, inflation, commodity shifts. Then, we examine those patterns in a trading atmosphere comparing certain time intervals, market dynamics, and price direction. From there, we create working models that can be used as indicators or automated trading engines in the markets.
When we make our trading engine available or make a new model available there is a catalyst as we only do so about once every 7 yrs. When we do so, we make our systems available to others on a limited basis to about 100 installs. Our indicator/strategy or trading assistant as we call it is a combination of strategies that if they were released on their own, they would perform very well in several market conditions. However, in our research, we found that when combining certain strategies using an adaptive and reactive framework we have found they work very well when combined into one strategy. We combined these strategies into one indicator/strategy/trading engine to work during most all market and economic conditions.
This is NOT EASY.
Our stance is that custom tools to assist in decision making that work well are very rare, hence, very valuable. We have created a template to help make traders better no matter their experience level. We know it makes new traders way better and provides a framework and system to follow.
With the push of a button, our systems can become an autotrading strategy. As an automated trading platform it trades fast and efficient with no emotion. We find this to also be quite valuable.
If you or your firm are in the market for a powerful piece of technology you will find our system to be of value.
You will need NinjaTrader 8 to use our application at this time. Our trade engine downloads straight into your NinjaTrader 8 platform. Outright license at this time is $6900. It comes with an onboarding of 90 minutes included.
If you have questions you can email us direct at dcsa@protonmail.com. After we connect via email we are available via phone or text and of course via email for our clients.
We understand that you have a long list of choices of where to get custom indicators to purchase or lease and or where and how to learn to trade or increase your skills. We do not comment on other company's offerings as there are so many out there and it would be very unfair in many cases to comment and beyond that quite difficult to know which work well and are robust over time. (That said if you find one please inform us as we would probably buy it for our library).
Please note:
Trading is not easy. Trading is difficult. In our opinion, there are very very few secrets however there are a few certain strategically sound and robust strategies and automated systems, and trading assistants.
Onboarding consists of making sure you download the trading engine, and model correctly. An overview of the parameters, and how we use the systems in our trading. The outright purchase is a single use license with absolutely no rights to resale or share.
I would ask these questions if I were in the market to use an indicator or trading system that has been made by a person or company or third party.
-
Has does the indicator/strategy perform over the short medium and long term?
-
What instruments, equities, futures, ETF's, commodities does it seem to work well with and why?
-
Is it rules based?
-
What is the upfront and ongoing cost?
-
Can I create my own models within the framework or parameters of the strategy?
The answers to the above about our strategy and perspective is as follows:
Our indicator and trading system performs well. We have been using it for over 10 years. We predominantly use it to trade ES and NQ, RTY, CL and GC. It is strictly rules based. Our latest iteration is up and available. You can manipulate the parameters and test and backtest any instrument you want on the system if there is data for it for Ninja Trader 8. You can create your own models using our framework and parameter sets. It is not black box. We teach our clients how our systems work, and why, which is part of the reason why this is not a cheap pay per month bot or EA or whatever the current nomenclature is for them. Ours is a rules based system of entry, exit, stop, reverse strategy based on statistics, predictive statistics, behavioral science and probabilities.

description of the strategy / indicator
Our indicator was created to be an intuitive graphical tool for traders and investors to utilize to assist in decision analysis and trade automation. It was created to combine trading strategies that work in many market conditions and could signal a combination of reversion and aversion from the mean, momentum breakout and breakdown, reversal momentum opportunities, based on price action, statistics, and probabilities.
Where we prefer to work and research from.
