Management style
Moderate is the medium term trading system, with an active management style, to maximise growth of capital with fluctuation estimated at around 2-12 % on a monthly basis. It exploits both positive and negative market trends by buying and selling Etf and Forex financial instruments. The trading system operates on signals generated through a mathematical model based on neural networks; this makes it possible to monitor hundreds of variables simultaneously. It launches 3 signals per quarter executed through cumulative purchases. Operations can be closed when one of the following conditions occurs: 1st TakeProfit: on achieving the goal set at +7%; 2nd StopLoss: on achieving a loss of -2%; 3rd Time: once 20-50 days have gone by from opening, if the opening conditions no longer exist, they are closed at the best price, between -2% and 7%.
Advantages
Moderate is an instrument that can even earn in extremely negative market conditions; the reference stock market (see Benchmark in Performances graph) has had a strongly negative trend in the last five years, consolidating an average annual loss of -4.5%, whilst Moderate has had an average annual gain of 17.85%. The Drawdown (see Performances graph) was -4.8%, the average negative fluctuation stayed under -1.5%.
Risks
Moderate by nature, is a risky investment. This instrument’s risk is controlled by the stoploss; they intervene closing all the positions when capital suffers negative fluctuation exceeding -2%.
