Gemini 252 spanks index, ahead 35% gross year-to-date
Gemini 252 just completed a two week, two-contract trade sequence. The system shorted one S&P 500 E-mini contract on May 14 and shorted another four days later. On Tuesday, the system took advantage of the sharp decline by covering the two contracts for a $350 gross profit, or +1.56%, in the model $22.5k portfolio.
The system is now up 35.02% gross following a series of quick, timely raids this year. Compare that to the 2.2% gain of the broad market, for which you would have to be fully invested for all five months.
The Gemini approach to markets really turns everything the financial media tells you about markets on its head. It shows a well-designed system can successfully time the markets, and the best buy-and-hold time frame for index investing is more like a few days than a few years.
You might say that Gemini is like streaming your music from Spotify or Pandora while other approaches to markets are like buying vinyl records. The algorithm leverages the latest in computer hardware, software development and behavioral science research to help you profit from volatility rather than being victimized by it. Yes, it is more expensive. And yes, it is riskier. But here is a crazy idea; isn’t it time you challenged yourself to invest for peak performance?

Past results are no guarantee of future returns. All accounts may not achieve comparable results. Futures trading involves the risk of substantial loss. "Gross" results do not include the cost of subscription or brokerage commissions.
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 IN 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.
