S&P Trading Strategy Signals

Live trading signals from the S&P Trading Strategy are available via monthly subscription.

Signals are sent in real time via email and can be used to evaluate the strategy prior to investing in one of the funds or managed accounts using the strategy. (contact Henry Carstens).

Signals are $250/mo, payable at the end of the month and due only if the strategy was profitable that month.

A signals FAQ is here.

A subscription form is available after the following section which you are encouraged to read carefully.

Notes and Disclaimers:

• Vertical Solutions has no way of knowing individual subscriber's financial situation or whether this strategy is appropriate for them. Responsibility for use of the signals, especially given the risks of futures trading and the added risks of e-mailed signals, is solely the subscribers.


• Funds and managed accounts may have placed orders ahead of subscriber's notification and subscribers can and should expect to get worse fills than funds or managed accounts.


• There are inherent dangers in e-mailied signals such as power outages, internet interruptions and spam filters that may cause signals to be delayed or not to arrive at all. Subscribers should have their own risk controls in place on top of the strategy's risk controls.


• THERE IS A RISK OF LOSS IN FUTURES TRADING. ADDITIONALLY, 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.

Mechanics of Signal Delivery:

• Signals are generated by the strategy which immediately places live orders


• The trading computers notify the email system that an order(s) has been placed


• An email explaining the order is sent to subscribers

Restrictions on Signal Use:

• Signals are for individual use and are not to be rebroadcast or resold.

Trading Hours and Frequency:

• The strategy trades approximately 10 times per month although this varies with market conditions.


• The strategy may hold two simultaneous positions. These positions may be in the same or opposite directions.


• The strategy is active during the S&P futures regular session.


• The strategy may hold, but does not actively trade, overnight.


• All strategy components trade with stops.

Terms, Invoicing and Payment:

• Payment is only due if the strategy was profitable during the month. Profitability is based on the P&L of the trading computers which allows for slippage and commission but does not take into account subscriber fills, slippage and commissions.


• Invoices are calculated and pro-rated from the subscription start date to the end of the month. Profitability is calculated from subscription start date.


• An invoice will be sent to the email address receiving the signals.


• Payment is due on the last day of the month for that month's signals. Accounts must be current to receive the new signals.

Cancellation:

• You can cancel your subscription at any time by sending an email to cancellations@verticalsolutions.com.


• Cancellations that occur in the middle of the month will be cancelled immediately and the monthly subscription fee prorated and due only if the strategy is profitable to that point.

Appropriateness:

• Vertical Solutions has no way of knowing individual subscriber's financial situation or whether this strategy is appropriate for them. Responsibility for use of the signals, especially given the risks of futures trading and the added risks of e-mailed signals, is solely the subscriber's.


• Vertical Solutions is not a financial adviser and does not and cannot make recommendations as to the appropriateness of the strategy.
