Optimized Trading is excited to offer Micro Index Futures Trading Systems. We feel these provide investors and traders an opportunity to diversify their portfolios into alternative investments with reduced risk and exposure. Allow us to explain.
Micro index futures contracts are one tenth the value and margin of their corresponding mini index futures contract. For example,
the micro S&P futures contract (MES) only requires $1265 of margin compared to $12650 for the mini S&P futures contract (ES) at current
margin levels. The point values on MES are $5 compared to those of ES at $50. Therefore, we can apply and execute a strategy
at a lower initial investment minimum which involves less risk on a dollar value basis.
In our years of research, the biggest source of risk is due to the outcome being dependent on a perspective of singularity. Whether it is
exploiting a single source of Alpha or a single variation in value. As a result, we deploy multiple model and multiple entry concepts to each
of the Micro Index Trading Systems. The objective being to increase the probability of positive outcomes. Each entry is independently
executed and the number of positions per entry will vary among the systems.

The Micro Index Trading Systems will be referred to as our Atlas programs. Each system will maintain the same structure and concepts
with varying number of max entries and suggested minimum capital requirements. The initial launch of Atlas systems will focus on the
Micro S&P market with max positions of 3, 6 or 10 and recommended investment amounts of $4,000-12,500. Click on the button below for more in depth information.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
