Membership Benefits and Costs

Benefits of membership extend to all members whether trading one, several, or all systems.  The program's objective is to begin by determining how much start-up capital is available, and then how to best allocate that capital for growth. 

Beginning account balances greater than $200,000 can begin with a diversified mix of all systems in order to take advantage of the excellent correlative relationship that exists within the total mix of systems.  Smaller beginning  account balances should select the one or two systems most likely to create early growth with reduced risk, and then look to diversify further as capital growth is achieved.

An Allegro Trading Systems professional is always available to design and discuss a beginning strategy that is appropriate for your beginning balance, and will also advise members when it is appropriate to consider adding in additional systems to one's program.  All final decisions regarding the selection of systems to trade and the amount of capital dedicated to each system is made by the member.  ATS guidance will be aimed at "fewer systems - each adequately capitalized" in preference to "many systems - each thinly capitalized".  Diversity is desirable and important to long term growth and a smoother overall equity curve.  But diversity alone does not have a higher priority than being adequately capitalized both at the start of one's program, and throughout the life of the program. 

These systems are available for membership purchase, and can be traded individually or together through the 2-Combo method of cash management.

• S&P 500 - Intraday Trading System

• NASDAQ 100 - Intraday Trading System

Systems available for trading, but not for Membership Purchase:

The following systems, while not available for membership purchase due to lot size limitations, are available (at no extra charge) to current 2-combo members who wish to expand trading into the 4-Combo program.  Members adequately capitalized to allow for the expanded level of trading may add in the following systems so long as the total lot size we are trading in each system does not exceed acceptable levels for efficient trade execution.  The maximum level at any given time is at the sole discretion of Allegro Trading Systems, Inc.    

• S&P 400 (MidCap) - Intraday Trading System

• Russell 2000 - Intraday Trading System

It is possible that at this date or some subsequent date the officers, directors and/or shareholders of Allegro Trading Systems, Inc. and its affiliates own securities, or buy or sell securities mentioned in this publication or those not so mentioned. The intent of the Allegro information supplied to STUDENT is for instructional purposes only. Allegro information supplied to STUDENT is designed to discuss the market environment, technical analysis, movement of the price action, configuration of indicators, calculation of the measurement of the trading market and to calculate the levels of risk. The idea is that with repetitious exposure to a disciplined approach of this short term trading methodology, STUDENT can learn to understand the methodology for independent application. The material presented herein has been obtained or derived from sources believed to be accurate, but we do not guarantee its accuracy. There have been no promises, guarantees or warranties suggesting that any trading will result in a profit or will not result in a loss. Results can and will vary between individuals. STUDENT is responsible to use good judgment when trading. All trading system performance claims are based on comparing hypothetical trading results with other trading systems in the financial market. All historical performance trading system results are not achievable in real trading because slippage and the psychological factors of a trader cannot be accurately accounted for.  The "System Performance" records are representative of hypothetical trading results of our trading systems. Reasonable slippage, commission, individual’s emotion, levels of discipline and self-control need to apply independently to estimate the actual trading results. All trading involves high risk; past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Commission Rule 4.41(c)(1) applies to "any publication, distribution or broadcast of any report, letter, circular, memorandum, publication, writing, advertisement or other literature…."

Commission Rule 4.41(b)(1)(I) hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
