The T.R.E.N.D.S Algorithms Sit at the Heart of Our Propriety Indicators & Strategies.

We are former professional traders and T.R.E.N.D.S is the product of over 25 years developing tools and trading systems while trading stock, forex and futures markets for some of the worlds leading financial institutions. T.R.E.N.D.S comprises complex algorithms, which we continually test and optimize, that defines order out of chaos. T.R.E.N.D.S allows us to analyse the often unseen underlying structure of ANY market so we can align ourselves with the main trend and identifies highly effective trading signals in the direction of the main trend.

T.R.E.N.D.S is THE system we use in our own trading. We believe this is what makes us different. We use the exact same tools we built to trade our own money day in and day out … yes we drink our own Kool Aid!

T.R.E.N.D.S is the Complete Package and Consists of 5 Core Elements: Custom Bar Types, 36+ Propriety Indicators, Signal Filtering Against Other Indicators & Larger Degree Trends and Automated & Semi-Automated Fully Customizable Trading Strategies.

ELEMENT 1: CUSTOM BAR TYPES PACKAGE

Cleaner Price Charts Equal Better Results.

Remove Noise & Reduce Price Volatility. Custom Bar Types Are The Basis of Cleaner Trading Signals.

You can have the best indicators in the world that produce highly effective trading signals and reduce lag. But without clean charts your trading will suffer. It’s like having a Ferrari and using low grade diesel, the two just don’t mix!

Our bar types package includes 4 propriety renko bars (The same ones we use) plus our renko color bars and our pivot finder indicator helps to give even more clarity on price.

ELEMENT 2: PROPRIETY INDICATOR PACKAGE

Analyse The Markets Like A Professional.

Propriety Indicators That Tap Into The Often Unknown and Unseen Underlying Structure of The Market!

We have been developing propriety indicators and algorithms for over 25 years and through this time developed a collection of 36+ propriety indicators that allow us to consistently beat the markets. Better still, we continue to test and optimize and pass these results to our clients so they too continue to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

ELEMENT 3: SIGNAL GENERATOR PACKAGE

The 'Secret Sauce' To Trading Success!

The Unspoken Truth For Optimized Trading is to Find Those Trades With The Highest Possibility of Success by Filtering One Indicator Against Another & Against Larger Degree Trends.

What makes a good trader turn into a GREAT trader? Referencing one indicator against another or against a larger degree trend can massively improve your trading results. Get double and even triple confirmation a trade is going to work out before you even submit the order.

ELEMENT 4: SEMI-AUTOMATED TRADING STRATEGIES

Let Our Software Find Great Trades - But You Say GO!

Setup Your Strategy & Wait For The Software to Flag Up A Great Trade. THEN Decide if You Still Wish To Proceed.

We have built semi-automated trading strategies to support our clients not quite ready for fully automated trading.

A great way to get used to fully-automated trading & when you are ready, move to the next step, fully automated trading.

ELEMENT 5: FULLY AUTOMATED TRADING STRATEGIES

The Pinnacle of Fast & Emotion Free Trading.

FACT – In Todays Fast Paced Markets Retails Traders Will Have A Tough Time Competing Against Automated Professionals – But They Can NOW!

Traders often ignore their own rules in live trading and lack speed of execution. This is where an automated trading strategy shines by taking emotions out of the equation. Setup your strategy BEFORE you trade and know where to buy, set your stop, set a breakeven, trail stop or profit target & where to exit when the markets are not moving. Turn it on when you wish to trade and let the software execute your strategy emotion free and at a speed typically reserved for professional traders.

    FAQ
    What is T.R.E.N.D.S & Why is it Different?

    T.R.E.N.D.S is our propriety trading software and stands for ‘Technical Research Employed to Nonlinear Dynamic Systems’ and is a process of trading developed from professionally trading markets for over 25 years. We have researched, built and trialled literally thousands of technical trading systems, indicators and approaches to improve and refine our own trading results over many years. Over this time we have found and built systems which have proven to work consistently and we have employed these to trading all types of markets across all types of time frames.

    In addition, we know the markets more closely resemble chaotic systems like the weather of complex systems as we define markets as Nonlinear Systems and thus our trading methodology couples together applying technical systems which are better able to trade Nonlinear systems and thus better trade the markets compared to most other linear tools.

    For years traders have been using the WRONG MAPS when they trade. using blunt tools to trade complex systems which is exactly what the markets are. There is little wonder why so many fail.

    T.R.E.N.D.S is different and allows a trader to tap into the often unseen underlying structure of a market and define order where other traders sees chaos.

    T.R.E.N.D.S is a professional grade trading software and highly customizable. As a result you can load templates which will setup the system to trade as you want to trade or how someones else trades, or you can customise and adjust hundreds of different parameters bespoking the software to how you wish to trade and thus generate results specific and personal to you. The system can be tailored to fit the types of markets you trade, the time frame you wish to operate within and the level of volatility you wish to experience and trade volume. This is what makes our systems unique and why our clients love working with us.

    How Do I Get Access To T.R.E.N.D.S??

    T.R.E.N.D.S is delivered via a number of ‘packages’ which contain different elements of the overall T.R.E.N.D.S trading software. We have engineered these packages so that traders can access the components they are most interested in and access those elements which relate best to how you wish to trade. We have the following package types:

    1. Indicator & Custom Bar Types Package – This package includes over 33 propriety indicators and 4 custom bar types all powered by the T.R.E.N.D.S Trading Algorithms. This package is ideal for traders who wish to apply discretionary analysis to markets without filtering or automation.
    2. Signal Filter Package – This package includes additional filter indicators plus new indicators that can refence any time frame for tapping into the larger degree trends. At the heart of this package is our filter indicator which literally allows traders to mix and match any indicator output against any other and also filter signals by larger debgree trends giving a HUGE trading advantage for identifying the highly effective trading signals.
    3. Semi-Automated Trading Package – This package introduces traders to automating their trading by allowing traders to build sem-automated strategies around their indicators. The key benefit here is the strategy notifies the trader when a trading signal arise but does not automate the order entry, instead it comes back as seeks approval before being submitted. This strategy package is great for traders new to trading autmation and allows traders to ‘cherry pick’ their trades.
    4. Fully Automated Trading Package – The end goal for any trader is to create a fully automated trading strategy which they can test and optomize then release on the market to automatically generate highly effective trading signals before automatically submitting orders for entry, initial stops, break-even stops, trail-stops and exit signals. Just set up your strategy and turn it on and watch the trades being placed live and from your charts.


    Once you have decided which package is right for you simply add this package to your basket in the private members areas and chech out. From here you will be provided with everything you need to start trading with T.R.E.N.D.S.

    IMPORTANT: If you start with one package and wish to upgrade to the a higher package we WON’T charge you twice. We will simply charge you the difference between the two packages so you only ever pay for the highest package available and you won’t be doubling up on costs.

    How Customizable is T.R.E.N.D.S?

    This is the real power of T.R.E.N.D.S. We have built this trading software to be like a swiss-army knife capeable of hundreds if not thousands of different variations and adjustments so each trader can use our platform as we designed it or how they wish to customize it. All settings and parameters are changeable and you can turn on and off all functional aspects. You can mix and match indicators together or filter one against another while referencing higher degree time frames and tredns. this list of variations goes on and on and you have to see if to believe it.

    One this T.R.E.N.D.S is NOT is a black box trading system only capeable of turining on and hoping you make some money. We are pretty certain nothing like this exists anywhere and we have built it in the same way we would build an institutional trading platform, the difference being retail traders have full access to this and not just a priviledge few professional or institutional traders.

    General T.R.E.N.D.S Information?

    T.R.E.N.D.S is a complete trading systems which can be customized and tailored to any trading style, market or time frame. there are literally hundreds of variations and iterations allowing a trader maximum flexibility to setup the software specific to each trader.

    T.R.E.N.D.S runs on the Ninjatrader platform and thus to access T.R.E.N.D.S you will first need to install this trading platform which is free to download by CLICKING HERE.

    We have chosen Ninjatrader as the platform to host T.R.E.N.D.S as to date it is THE only platform to allow institutional grade customisation and the only platform which allowed us to create custom bar types to help strip away volatility inherent in markets. Simply put, to build a system as complex as T.R.E.N.D.S there was only Ninjatrader capable of allowing us to deliver this software.

    T.R.E.N.D.S software is delivered in 4 packages. We have chosen to do this as we know traders are often at different stages in their trading careers and traders have different trading plans and objectives.

    Some traders just want to use the T.R.E.N.D.S indicators to analyse markets and place trades manually using their own discretion around which signals to take.

    Slightly more advanced traders see the true value in using the T.R.E.N.D.S package which not only allows in-depth markets analysis but identifies those trades which have the greatest opportunity for success. For these traders we offer the signals package.

    For the serious traders we have the T.R.E.N.D.S Autotrader package. Here the traders has everything and an Autotrader which offers Nth degree customisation and the ability to setup the trading system to run and trade in real-time right from the chart with orders routed direct to market often well before the trader could place the order themselves.

    Is T.R.E.N.D.S A Trend Trading System?

    We get asked this a lot because of the name we have assigned to our trading approach! T.R.E.N.D.S. stands for Technical Research Employed to Nonlinear Dynamic Systems and the term T.R.E.N.D.S. defines the process and system we use to trade the markets. 

    T.R.E.N.D.S. does allow traders to accurately identify the start and end of trends with very little lag in all types of markets and as such, yes, T.R.E.N.D.S. can be used as a trend following system but in reality T.R.E.N.D.S. is much more than that and can be customised and configured in a way so that it can be setup and equally useful as a swing trading system.

    T.R.E.N.D.S. has hundreds of different parameters and sensitivity settings and the installed default settings can be tightened or slackened off. As a result, looking for acute turns of swings when markets are range bound renders the system suitable for classical swing trading strategies. Equally, further setting adjustments will allow T.R.E.N.D.S. to ignore short term swings and identify larger trends which the trader can then exploit. There are literally thousands of possible permutations making the software extremely powerful and unique.

    In summary, while the name T.R.E.N.D.S. implies a trend trading system, the term T.R.E.N.D.S. relates specifically to the process of how the software has evolved rather than the speific trading strategy it can be employed to trade. 

    So, whether you are a trend trader or swing trader, day trader or position trader or indeed an investor T.R.E.N.D.S. is a suitable choice for you.

    What Software Platform Do I Need For T.R.E.N.D.S?

    We have been trading for many years and over this time been building and evolving our trading systems and software across pretty much every platform you could wish to use. We have used: Metastock, Tradestation, Omnitrader, eSignal Ninjatrader to name a few and even tried to build our own software platform from scratch.

    The reason for this is while we know what we want the software to be able to do, often it is the software platforms which apply restrictions and limitations on being able to do it. In many cases we have found different platform allows us to do some things and not others which is frustrating and as a whole most trading platforms have limitations in their coding which can put the blockers on some good trading ideas long before they become reality and able to be back-tested and finally traded.

    By far the best trading software for serious traders is Ninjatrader and while it is not without it’s faults, it is hands down THE platform which is built in a way which allows maximum customisation. Our coders and programmers love it for precisely this reason.

    From creating custom bar types to esoteric indicators and highly complex institutional grade Autotraders Ninjatrader has allowed our team of coders to do what ever crazy idea we could imagine and produce and indicator which can be applied to real markets, tested and either terminated as a bad idea or moved forward and optimized as a good idea.

    As a result, Ninjatrader has become our software of choice and that’s why we use it. We appreciate traders who come to us as new clients may often be using a different software platforms and naturally want the indicators to be transposed to their favoured platform. However, if this was possible we would have done it by now but the full systems simply cannot be translated effectively to many other software platforms and still work reliably. In many cases the accuracy of the indicators will erode or the platform will simply not allow our coders to build the indicator the way it should work and this risks a trader using a poor substitute for an indicator or autotrader which could costs a lot in poor trading outcomes.

    Software platforms are evolving all of the time but the best ones code in Microsoft C# language which allows for clean coding which is highly customisable and as soon as other platforms allow our systems to work as good as Ninjatrader currently does we will be sure to include these into our indicator suites.

    Futures, foreign currency and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

    Hypothetical Performance Disclosure

    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.
