Back-testing results are very impressive. Any results of walk-forward testing, or forward testing you can share with us, Murray?
Here are my problems with this type of promotion.. ORB--- how robust are the results on a large portfolio of uncorrelated global futures contracts? How sensitive are they to parameter changes? How realistic are results when accounting for slippage and commission? If the edge exists still why haven't much bigger funds arbed it away? What is the anomaly that ORB traders are trying to exploit? I understand Marks Fishers point on % of time high or low of the day is set in first n-minute of trading compared to normal distribution. Its very skewed to beginning of the day. Does that still stand? Or did electronic markets change that? Did you find that famous U shape volume pattern has become more normally distributed? I find it 10x more interesting if you actually explained what the anomaly is, then some magic entry backtest you over-optimized. Did you test the orb to be a : a) % of n-day $volume(contract * price) or contract volume ? b) n-day look back peak volume time as new open? c) Williams GSV with time filter ? EI take trades only if the GSV is breached in 10min from open. d) Have you tried "TIME" exits like Mark Fisher uses? NOBODY DOES detailed research.... Its terrible! As an example here is a paper on ORB tested on 2 markets... REALLY?? 2 markets!!!! http://www.christianlundstrom.com/2013/06/18/day-trading-profitability-across-volatility-states/ 1> Almost everything in public domain sux.

Aggressive fund returned -15% for 2015 and is down 8% so far this year. No good, granted numbers are only for 2 years. I think all their funds and ETF's are negative since inception. Perhaps a rough start ?
If his best methods, which are used to manage real money, cant make a profit, then what are the chances for the cheap stuff he is prepared to sell for a few hundred bucks.
It's 'Tuttle Asset Management' not 'Ruggiero Asset Management.' I doubt he has any control over the portfolio.
Well he says he has designed their core trading systems. "Design and Development the core trading technologies and main consultant on development of trading strategies used for tactical asset management. Tuttle Wealth management current has over 160 million dollars under management, trading strategies which I have consulted on their design and implementation."
...and that's why he is Vending That old adage is true: Those who can do...Do -- Those who can't...Teach.
