Reaching The Next Level of Performance
Everyone knows that a “Holy Grail Trading System” is a System so good that it CONSISTENTLY makes money. From my own trading back in the early 80’s, I believed then and believe now that it is possible to achieve this result through the use of automation.
Over the past 35 years we have created many great products and amassed a wealth of knowledge. Over the past year we have been spending more time trading with our products, which is what this project is all about.
We are now seeing phenomenal gains in live trading! But our work is not done yet. The biggest need we have now is achieving consistent results. And that has to do with improving Strategy performance as markets change.

Trade Management Solution
Taking ATM Elite to the Next Level
ATM Elite was launched last year to build configurable ATM-based Trading Systems.
Great progress has been made, and many excellent ATM Methods are available to members.
While the Trade Plan Solution is being launched to create great stand-alone Strategies and a variety of
specialized Trade Plans, an important goal of the Trade Plan Solution is to integrate it into our ATM Methods.
Here is a diagram showing components of an ATM Method with two Market States.
The Green Blocks represent the Trade Plan Solution. The Gold Blocks represent the additional experiments we are running for ATM Elite, on such things as OmniScan Lists, Allocation and adding other Strategies. The goal is to create at least one new ATM Method.
The new T21 and other Strategies we create will work great in OmniTrader. They’re well worth acquiring on their own merits. ATM adds an extra level of configurability, such that each Market State can focus on a very specific situation, like “Ultra Bullish Nasdaq” or “Sideways Nasdaq.”

The Importance of Trade Management
“The Most Important Strategy
Work We Have Ever Undertaken.”
Right now, we are releasing an amazing new Strategy called T21. Its name comes from our work to create Strategies that are working well in 2021 – a difficult market compared to 2020. While there has been some focus on other Strategy components, this work on Trade Plans is the most important Strategy work we have ever undertaken. T21 is just the starting point. Those who join us in this effort will benefit enormously from the remainder of our process.
Why Focus on Trade Management?
All trades have an Entry and an Exit, but we know they can have additional Entries (Scaling In) as well as Partial Exits (Scaling Out). Our objective in creating a Strategy is to capture as much profit as possible, but also we must be ready to reduce position size or close the trade entirely when the probability of an adverse reaction is high. And that’s how T21 works. And folks, we are just scratching the surface with this new approach.
The T21 Breakthrough
These charts show multiple trades from T21, which is an RTM Strategy. But it has greatly improved
Trade Management that lets the best trades continue to run for higher profits.
To the right is an equity curve from T21 trading stocks in the S&P 100 and NASDAQ 100. Note that the test covers BOTH 2020 and year to date for 2021. This consistent performance is achieved by using special tests in the Strategy to avoid risky markets, in addition to the Trade Management features.
While T21 shows winning performance in both 2020 and 2021, it’s really just the start of our Trade Management Solution.
Creating Universal Trade Plans
This project is unlike anything we have undertaken before. Our objective is to create Universal Trade Plans that can be used to improve existing Strategies, and then to apply them for that purpose. T21 is our first test Strategy. But others (and more than one version of T21) will be provided.
This Research has already begun. All participants will get T21 now and the results of this work as we perform and complete this analysis in July.
Performance:
Max Drawdown 7%
Avg Ann ROI 41%
Avg Ann MDD 6.9%
Percent Profitable 74.5%
Average Profit% 5.36%
Our findings and accompanying assets will be provided for both T21 owners and ATM Elite Members. The first section will discuss the T21 Strategy and how it is able to outperform other Strategies. Then we will explore optimal Entries, Exits and Position Sizing.

We will run the hundreds of tests required to identify the best Entries, Exits, and Position Sizing to create even more adaptive versions.
We believe this research will generate some great new Mechanical Strategies based on Trade Plan concepts and Improved Trade Plans that can be used in other Strategies.
