I was in the presense of greatness last month. Tom Bierovic and I had lunch at my favorite restaurant (Sailfish Marina). Tom is a futures trader, advisor and educator with loads of experience. His most recent endeavor was to create systems for Omega Research. Over the past three years, he has created hundreds of systems and has learned the statistics behind most commonly used indicators. Here's what I gleaned from our 2 1/2 hour conversation: 1. Purely Mechanical trading systems as a group do not work very well over the long term. He personally has had more success with using a combination of system inputs with discretion for timing entry and exit. 2. He believes strongly in the trend confirmation concept and is writing about it in his new book due out later this year. 3. We agreed on the importance of profit/loss ratio's and balancing our desire for profits with our respect for risk. Tom was quoted in Trader Profile in Futures Magazine, saying a 2 to 1 profit loss ratio is his target. 4. Tom believes that interest rates and currencies are superior trending markets and that trend-following systems are likely to do the best in those sectors. He commented that the Yen and Swiss were better vehicles than the Pound. 5. Tom believes strongly in chart based analysis and classical chart patterns. One of his favorite books is still the classic by Edwards and Magee on price patterns. In addition to being very knowledgeable, I was impressed by his humble spirit and gentlemen nature. Tom Bierovic is a class act from the word go. I am pleased to announce that Tom has joined the CTS Brain Trust and will begin writing advisory and educational articles starting in July. With this addition to our team, we believe ctsTrader.com has just taken another giant leap ahead of the competition. Why do we continue to make these kind of investments? So that we fulfill our mission statement which says: "We will serve our customers with uniquely effective trading tools while evolving smartly with technology."

Especially, now that the short end has dropped so low. Grains appear to be losing downside momentum. I would be surprised to see a strong short covering rally of 50 cents or more in July beans between now and July the 4th. The U.S. dollar has decisively broken out! We like the short side of the EURO and Pound. ------------------------------------------------------- Opportunity Alerts (Links to premium content) ------------------------------------------------------- The following are must see features on ctsTrader.com.
