The systems that we track may not be representative of the many trading systems available. Also, a given system may have achieved high returns in the past but may lose significant amounts of money in the future.
Two types of results are reported on Futures Examiner - Actuals and Hypotheticals.
Actual results are based on trades that were actually executed, taking into account real-world factors and anomalies in trade execution. Actuals are clearly identified, e.g. "SystemName-SP-Actual". We report actual results with realistic (we believe) allowances for commission & fees, and cost of the system. Actual results do not allow for financial risk, or trader's (emotional) behaviour such as deciding when to start trading a system, changing the number of contracts, omitting some trades, or quitting in the face of a large drawdown. Therefore even Actual results are to a large extent Hypothetical.
Top Gainers and Smoothies tables are based on Actual results. Actual results may be taken from a system-assist broker's website or a client's account statements, or supplied to us privately by a system developer or system-assist broker.
ACTUAL results should be viewed with caution, because PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
