About Blind Terry |
Blind Terry is a computerized trading system
that trades full size Nasdaq-100 during the
day. The trading is based on quantitative system and technical analysis
calculations for this
market, as well as technical indicators filter algorithms. Blind
Terry calculations are running on 2-min. bar chart intervals.
Blind
Terry implements both trend-following and trading-range components to
potentially reduce the losses stemming from being in the wrong environment,
while reducing the effectiveness of the system in any single trading
environment. However, due to the longer bar time frame, Blind Terry
emphasizes more on the trend following component
and relies on the money management rules to help control the whipsaw losses that
occur when markets are in a trading mode.
The
benefits of Blind Terry are:
The system is 100%
objective
It
is very easy to use
Gives
clear BUY/ SELL signals
Potential to produce
large profits per trade
1:2 Risk to Reward ratio
Although Blind Terry profit potential is
very impressive, the risk level and tolerance are significant, which makes Blind
Terry suitable only for high net worth investors with well capitalized accounts.

Description / Trading Methodology |
Blind Terry combines two trading systems, a breakout up/down intra-bar system and break-channel system. In addition, proven technical indicators calculations are used to filter the "false" signals. Because the two systems use different calculations and entry methodologies, they are complimentary: you are better off trading a combination of the two than either alone. Both systems have impressive performance over the life of the Nasdaq in its index future form. This robust performance is important because most Nasdaq, S&P or other “fast market” systems lose effectiveness after a short shelf life. They were designed to trade these markets in their current incarnations, and when they change, performance decays [See Disclaimer].
Blind
Terry operates under Intra-bar and channel breakout systems
algorithms as well as
technical-indicators filter calculations.
The system enters the market only when the systems algorithms generate signals
in the same direction and only when the technical-indicators have reached
pre-determined trigger conditions.
First, the intra-bar breakout algorithm scans the market for
key-reversals. Once a potential up or down key-reversal is detected, the
channel-breakout algorithm may originate Buy or Sell signal. Finally, the
signals are executed only if pre-determined conditions on both Stochastic
and Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillators are met. The
system exits the trade only when fixed 10 points loss stop or 20 points target
is reached.
Once Blind Terry enters a trade, a fixed Protective Loss Stop of 10 Nasdaq-100 Stock Index Futures points is placed below or above the entry price. If the price moves 10 points in the direction of the trade, the system automatically trails the Loss Stop to the entry price (Breakeven Stop).
Blind Terry specifies a fixed Profit
Objective equal to 20 points of Nasdaq-100. This
profit objective is based on historical statistical calculations of market
volatility and support/resistance threshold levels.
While Blind Terry is in a trade, the system
trading rules allow entering multiple signals in the same direction
as the current
trade. No more than 3 consecutive same
direction signal entries are allowed.
On the other hand, Blind Terry trading rules
impose restrictions on entering trades on signals in opposite direction of the
current trade if ether the objective price or the loss stop has not been reached.
If the system produces 3 losing trades during the day, the risk
management rules call for ceasing the trading for the day.
If the last trading
signal(s) does not yield the
target objective of 20 points when the market closes, the outcome of the signal(s) is recorded as follows: breakeven - if the market closes above/below
the entering price for buy/sell signal respectively; loss equal to 10 points
stop - if the market
closing price is below/above the entering price.
Virtually every possible market contingency is covered by the system rules so you always
know exactly what to do. At the time of every entry, you always have a solid
protective stop and precise target so you know exactly where to get in and where
to get out and what to do in case things go or do not go your way. This
eliminates many stressful decisions associated with trading errors and
unnecessary losses. All of the Blind Terry strategies are time
tested, work and are built into the system. Blind Terry is designed for
both new as well as professional traders.
