Capstone Trading Systems

Trading systems are developed as fully automated algorithms that can be setup and traded at different brokerages using a range of platforms. The trading systems specialize in strategy signals for the stock index futures, financial futures, commodity, and equity markets.

Our software is offered as a subscription for systems trading to individuals, money managers, RIAs, family offices, and hedge funds. The available subscriptions include market indicators, individual trading algorithms, and classic or custom algorithmic trading system portfolios. Classic portfolios have been pre-built by Capstone Trading systems while custom portfolios can be built by the subscriber using the Portfolio Calculator tool.

The Portfolio Calculator is a database of trading systems and portfolios in Excel. It can be used to view the classic pre-built portfolios as well as a tool to build custom portfolios by testing the history for any combination of trading systems in the database. Pre-built and custom portfolios have a list of analytics to measure the risk and potential market returns.

Strategy development is a continuous process that looks for new opportunities in an ever-changing market environment. Strategy development focuses on using a diversity of methodologies. The diversity for entry techniques include trend, counter trend, and mean reversion. Diverse methods for exit techniques include different types of stop losses and different types of profit targets. Trade duration diversity includes end of day exits, session exits, and short term swing trade exits.

Portfolio diversity includes combining many different individual trading systems with entry, exit, and trade duration diversity as well as strategies at different cycles in their equity curve, strategies with different performance statistics, strategies that have a long history, and strategies that are new and emerging. Applying this criteria to many different markets and time series intervals with strategies that take both long and short trades gives us a powerful combination of classifications to build diverse algorithmic trading systems portfolios.

The goal of the portfolios is to provide a tool for active traders who seek an alternative investment strategy to traditional investments in order navigate markets regardless of the investment landscape or investment regime. Our algorithms have developed to take advantage of markets that are rising, markets that are falling, and markets that move sideways. Strategy combinations in the portfolio also consider volatility levels that rise and fall and move in different cycles.

The current database of trading systems includes 270+ individual trading algorithms for the futures markets including E-mini S&P, E-mini Nasdaq, Gold, Silver, Copper, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, RBOB, 30 Year Bonds, Euro Currency, Soybeans, Coffee, and Lean Hogs.

The stock index futures trading systems can also be applied to equity ETF markets including the SPY and QQQ as well as invidual equities to take long and short trades.

Capstone Trading Systems software tools provide subscribers with software tools to trade markets with using quantitative trading techniques that do not rely on rising equity markets.
