Trend Weaver diversified futures trading strategy

Trend Weaver is a diversified trend-following futures trading strategy created by Shay Campbell.

The strategy uses diversified markets such as: British Pound, Coffee, Crude oil, Cotton, Dollar Index, Eurodollar, T-Note 5 yr, Gold, Heating Oil, Japanese Yen, Lumber, Lean Hogs, Natural Gas, Nikkei Index, Palladium, Rough Rice, Soybeans, Swiss Franc, T-Note 10-yr and 30-yr T-Bond.

On Shay's website, he shows 3 different portfolios, which shows the effect of of using a different group of futures according to your account size. The large strategies use a wider variety of futures than the small strategy. However, any combination of futures can be used.

Shay has applied position sizing to simulate these real-world results, which are backtested from
Jan 1987 to Dec 2006:

Small account (starting with $10,000)
Position size: 7% per trade
Compounded annual growth rate: 31.4%
Max drawdown: 32.6%

Medium account (starting with $20,000)
Position size: 6% per trade
Compounded annual growth rate: 57.4%
Max drawdown: 33.7%

Large account (starting with $50,000)
Position size: 4% per trade
Compounded annual growth rate: 75.6%
Max drawdown: 42.4%

Equity curve of large portfolio using 1 contract:
The system has a win rate of about 40%, with winning trades being over twice as large as losing trades.

The nice thing about this market crushing strategy is the variety of contracts traded. It's probably not correlated to the stock market, so it would make a nice supplement to a stock trading account. Also, this is a working system that has been in use for several years. Also, Shay tells me that this system is tracked by Futures Truth Magazine starting this year. As of Jan 08, it was ranked #1 out of 271 systems for trading crude oil. If you decide to purchase this system, please tell them Crush the Market sent ya!

"I really like your idea of taking only the best trending pair and even time frame. I am very impressed with such a simple and effective approach. I am not a tech
guy and I am amazed how it works online without anything to install... I just log in two times a day and check for any interesting pairs."

Stephen Ross, NY

"I use this software every day together with my own system and two EAs. I execute trades only when trend drawdown is below 15% so I decreased the trade frequency,
but I got two times better results. I am also interested in pattern recognition, I haven't tried it yet, but it looks amazing!"

Julien Labonne, Florida, USA

"I would highly recommend this service to anyone serious about forex trading. Another one that gives back much more than he receives. The real value for such a
low price is rare in the forex industry."

Sebastian, Germany
