The internet is full of voices telling you how “easy” trading is. Yesterday, everything looked bullish and calm. Today? The market rallies and then crumbles. Tomorrow? Who knows? Inflation, deflation, rate hikes, Fed pivots, war headlines—everyone has a take to justify their point.
But here’s the truth: no matter how often you think you’ve cracked the code, the market changes in an instant. And if you’re relying on gut instinct or chasing trades without a system, it’s exhausting.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you were calm because you know that even if the worst happens—a trade stops out—you’ll still show up tomorrow with confidence, knowing that over time, as long as you are consistent, you’re going to make it?
That’s what systems trading is all about.
With a system, you focus on doing what the system says to do instead of what your gut feeling tells you what you think you should do.
But not all systems work all the time.
How do you solve that?
You can either trade the same system and rotate around into a bunch of different assets that are in the appropriate market regime for your system.
For example, if you have a trend system, you need to trade it when a market is trending.
A trend system will get destroyed in mean reversion markets.
And vice versa: if you have a mean reversion system, you don’t want to trade that in a trending market.
What about an event-driven strategy, maybe earnings announcements or an FOMC rate decision?
You can only trade them around the known events, and other times, you are just waiting around.
So, which strategy do you choose?
This is the part that gets cool.
The real firepower comes when you trade multiple systems together in the appropriate markets.
If you know anything about what we do here at Macro Ops, one of the biggest things we focus on is outperforming the markets in a systematic way.
How do we do it? What’s our secret sauce?
We don’t just trade one strategy, and expect it to work in every Market Regime.
That’s ridiculous.
Instead we trade different strategies according to the Market Regime. Each Market Regime has unique characteristics of how it trades.
By combining multiple strategies we decrease our return volatility and get steady performance over time.
I know how hard it is to find a good system, let alone multiple systems.
So we are offering three of our systems, that we use to trade at Macro Ops
But rather than choosing between which one to buy, we packaged them all together
We use Swing Beast for those good trend trades. You know the ones that fire off long when everyone is already calling for a top?
Instead, it just keeps powering higher and higher, day after day.
Then pulls the plug and exits when it’s time for a breather.
It works exceptionally well with large cap equities, Indices, and commodities…when they are trending.
You can learn more about it here.
Remember the key here, if they aren’t trending we are focused on mean reversion trades.
Whether day trading or swing trading, the Curvy mean reversion system is very consistent.
We use this to swing trade a universe of 35 Futures products, and I use it to day trade in my personal account.
Finally, the Equity Earnings, our event based system.
Ever wonder why a company misses the street’s earnings estimates but the stock rips 15% higher on the news?
Or while everyone on CNBC is talking about “the most important earnings report this season” turns out to be a nothing burger, but some company that no one is talking about surprises and changes the narrative for earnings season out of no where?
There’s a clear edge and it has nothing to do with what Jim Cramer is talking about.
There’s a clear period within earnings season when the opportunity is there, and the rest of the season is for the analysts to battle over.
The Equity Earnings system trades for about 2 weeks every three months…4 times per year.
Combining these systems we get a very consistent return profile.
We’ve packed these systems together and thrown in the Equity Earnings System for free.
