Introduction: Long Term Systematic Trend Following applied to a Diversified Portfolio.

As traders or investors, we all want the same basic things. We prefer certainty to uncertainty and high returns to low returns. Our objective is to achieve a maximum rate of long term financial growth while minimizing risk. 

The Trendchannel Portfolio is a futures account that applies the Trendchannel Trading System to a balanced and diversified group of markets, seeking to produce consistent performance with an efficient reward/risk portfolio.

More than ever, investors are looking for alternative investment strategies that can provide capital growth in all market conditions. If the future is uncertain, then the best financial advice may be to 
diversify over multiple financial asset classes and prepare for markets that can move up or down.

And now, with the new E-Mini futures contracts, even with a relatively small futures account, you can achieve
broad diversification and profit potential by systematically trading the up and down trends in the most 
actively traded futures markets that represent the 4 major investment asset classes.

Trendchannel Portfolio - Trading 4 Asset Classes with 10 Futures Market

Asset Class	Futures Contract
Stock Indexes  Interest Rates  Currencies   Commodities	E-Mini Nasdaq 100, E-Mini S&P 500  10 Yr Treasury Note, Eurodollar  E-Mini Euro, E-Mini Yen  E-Mini Crude, E-Mini Gold, Corn, Soybeans

Evaluate your current portfolio: Do you have any investments now that will generate positive returns if the stock market goes down, if bonds go down (interest rates go higher), if the dollar loses value, or if commodity prices (inflation) go up? If the answer is no, then you may want to add a Trendchannel Portfolio to your investments to diversify and hedge to help reduce your exposure to these market risks.

Profit and Protection - A Trendchannel Portfolio is an Investment Strategy with the goal to enhance returns, and it is an Investment Hedge that seeks to reduce risks. By taking advantage of both the up and down trends caused by major capital flows in and out of each market sector, the program attempts to profit from market trends, and at the same time, protect you from the negative effects of:

Inflation - the erosion of money buying power over time.
Declines in the Dollar - the loss of Dollar buying power versus our major trading partners' currency.
Interest rate changes - the rising costs of borrowing money or lower returns from interest income.
Stock market declines - economic down cycles or geopolitical uncertainties.

Diversification - One of the key tenets of Modern Portfolio Theory, as developed by Nobel Prize Winning Economist, Dr. Harry M. Markowitz, is that more efficient portfolios can be created by diversifying among asset categories with low to negative correlations. Dr. John Lintner of Harvard University states, "...judicious investments...in leveraged managed futures accounts show substantially less risk at every possible 
level of expected return than portfolios of stocks (or stocks and bonds) alone." 

The CME Group publication, "Managed Futures, Portfolio Diversification Opportunities",  shows a portfolio with the greatest risk and least returns comprised of 55% stocks, 45% bonds, and 0% managed futures. In contrast, a portfolio exhibiting the greatest returns and least risk, comprised 45% stocks, 35% bonds and 20% managed futures.  http://www.cmegroup.com/education/files/ManagedFutures.pdf

Chicago Mercantile Exchange published a study concluding that a portfolio with 20% in managed futures yields up to 50% more than stock and bond portfolios, while possessing comparable risk.

To achieve this suggested portfolio mix, you may consider allocating  20% of your financial portfolio assets to a managed futures account trading a Trendchannel Portfolio.

Trendchannel Trading System applied to the Trendchannel Portfolio.

Trendchannel, as a futures trading system, has the necessary components that work together to automatically provide solutions to the 3 basic investment questions: When, What, and How Much.
Or to use financial terminology: Market Timing, Asset Allocation, Money Management and Risk Control. 

1) When or Market Timing - When to enter and exit the market: The Trend Indicator component of the Trendchannel System is based on a mathematical formula that combines adaptive measurements of price direction, momentum, and volatility to define when the markets are trending up, side, or down - giving 
precise, computer generated entry and exit signals, seeking to profit from market trends.
 
2) What to Trade or Asset Allocation: Trendchannel is a versatile trend trading system that has been developed, tested, and can be applied to all markets. However, instead of randomly selecting markets, the 10 market Trendchannel Portfolio trades the two highest volume, U.S. exchanged traded markets,
in each sector:

Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 represent the large capitalization U.S. Stock Market. 
10 Year Treasury Note and Eurodollar are the benchmarks for long and short-term interest rates. 
Euro and Yen are 68% of the CME $Index of currencies.
Crude Oil and Gold are the highest volume commodity markets in energy and metals.
Corn and Soybeans are the highest volume markets in agricultural commodities.     

Markets are inter-connected and inter-dependent - changes in any one of these markets can cause an effect on the other markets in the Trendchannel Portfolio. Capital continually flows in and out of these assets, creating opportunities to profit from the resulting trends.

For example, the cost of money (10 Year Treasury Note), the cost of energy (Crude Oil), and the value of the dollar vs. our trading partners' currency (Euro, Yen) - all of these can cause an effect on the profitability of companies and consumer spending - stock index prices (Nasdaq 100).

When investors are optimistic they buy stocks and sell bonds. When they are pessimistic or seek safety,
they sell stocks and buy bonds. We are seeking profit and protection by trading these Capital Flow trends.

3) How Much or Money Management/Risk Control: Trendchannel Portfolios apply money management strategies, including variable position size based on measurements of volatility risk, with the objective to achieve maximum returns with minimum drawdowns for any account size. 

You can begin with a minimum initial account size of $20,000, trading one futures contract per asset class. E-Mini futures contracts are electronically traded and smaller than full-size contracts. Larger accounts may trade additional markets and multiple contracts.

Advisory:  Portfolios may be revised in the future based on changes in margin requirements, futures trading volume, volatility, correlation, or other possible considerations. Suggested margin to equity ratios and position size are general guidelines for the aggressive investor or trader. You must evaluate your own financial situation and risk tolerance to determine what is suitable for you. Please see: Risk Disclosure

Financial Suitability:  The Trendchannel Portfolio is designed to be a complement to your investments. Seeking to maintain diversification and balance, increase returns, reduce volatility risk, and provide an investment hedge, I suggest a maximum allocation of $20,000 in managed futures per $100,000 in total financial assets, creating a portfolio mix that is 80% stocks and bonds, and 20% managed futures.
