Welcome to Treasury Income Engine, a futures trading room that day trades or scalps the Treasury futures markets depending on current market environments. Each and every morning a computer program scans the Treasury markets and then applies one of five proprietary algorithms derived from Capital Research & Trading, LLC – known as CRT - for the day’s trading.

The 5 differnet algorithms select the appropriate trading style, risk management and entry and exit points depending on recent market activity.

Through the trading room you hear, LIVE – real time the orders to place, how to place them and when to change them with little or no delay at all. It’s all done over a massive VOIP network that can handle 100’s of traders at a time.

Why this is Such a Powerful Approach to the Markets!

Short-term trading is the perfect approach in today’s market environment. With volatility at or near all time highs a shorter trading time frame is the only way to reduce risk and continue to have a reasonable expectation of gain.

The Treasury Income Engine’s approach is to start with an analysis of Daily data and then apply the correct algorithm to a 5-minute chart for intraday trading.
The algorithm automatically adjusts to the current overall market situation much like a coach adjusts to game situations. All professional traders do this, many without thinking about it, but the proprietary algorithms produced by the Capital Research & Trading, LLC team has taught the computer to do this automatically.

The result is a robust approach to short-term trading that we feel will stand the test of time on a walk forward basis, and how it performs in the future is the only basis we care about!

4 Reasons to trade the Futures markets?

  • Highly liquid markets with efficient executions.
  • Markets are regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
  • Efficient uses of capital – intraday margins are $2,160 for Bonds and $1,485 for the Notes.
  • Electronic markets provide transparency for all participants.

Why the Treasury Markets?

While the CRT algorithms works in most markets, there were 3 reasons that we chose the Treasury markets to start with.

  • The first was liquidity, the treasury markets are among the most liquid of all futures markets.
  • The second was volatility, to day trade or scalp the markets you need a certain measure of volatility which the treasury markets consistently provide.
  • The third was that the treasury markets nicely fit into the risk parameters built into the CRT algorithms.

Why Trade 2 Interest Rate Products -

Aren’t they the same? 

Treasury Income Engine takes advantage of the natural spreading that takes place is related markets. Spreading occurs when opposite positions are taken in related but different markets. Spreading in the Interest Rate markets occur when the Yield Curve is widen or narrowed depending on the trader’s perceptions of the Interest Rate outlook. It’s not uncommon for Treasury Income Engine to be long either the Note or Bond market and short the other at various times of the day depending on price action. 

Another reason t trade related markets is because it is impossible to determine ahead of time which market will pay the freight on any given day. Overall, the Bonds will tend to be more profitable; however that’s not always the case. There are many days when the Bonds may post a small profit or a loss while the Notes will have a much larger profit or even a profit while the Bonds posted a loss. Trading both markets together helps to smooth the equity curve.

This is a NEW Service.

This is a NEW service that you can follow the trading signals LIVE and in real time or You can follow on an End-of-Day basis by filling out the form below or you can sign up now to watch it Live .

This is NOT some over optimized, curve fitted back tested system built from old data.
What we’ve done is to build algorithms that trade like we would personally trade under current market conditions.

We learned along ago that you have to adjust trading styles to markets according to their overall environment based on overall risk/reward. For example, if a market has an reasonably wide daily trading range trading breakouts is highly effective but when daily ranges narrow fading breakouts and taking smaller profits will work much better and that’s what the algorithms do.

Here’s how it works.  

You will be provided with an invitation to join the trading room through a program called “GoToWebinar”.  There is nothing for you to download. It is NOT an .exe file and is perfectly safe.

GoToWebinar is a very stable server based program that provides both video and audio communication. You can follow the screen if you like, or minimize it and just wait for the orders to be given by voice over your speakers. However, if you have to leave the computer for a few minutes there will be a screen available so you can see if there were any changes in orders while you were away.

What we’re trying to do is make this as simple and unobtrusive as possible so you can go about your regular business with minimal intrusions during the day. For example, you would be able to see the a new order was placed to buy a June Treasury Bond at 139-080 on a stop to enter a new position even if you we’re not a your desk to hear the order being placed. 

What type of activity can I expect?

Activity is determined solely by volatility and price action so it’s impossible to say for sure, but in the current environment we're typically producing anywhere from 2 to 6 trades a day between the 2 markets. Click on the video links below to see examples of recent days.

Will I Have to be Glued to a Screen All Day? 

That depends on you. But the short answer is NO. Auto trading has been arainged so you don't have to be in front of the screen at all if you chose not to. The system trades about 4 or 5 hours a day and issues new orders, from 8 AM to 1 PM Central time so it really doesn’t take an excessive amount of time to follow. All open positions are closed by 2 PM Central Time. It's Your choice, you're in total contol.

We've tried to make this as Easy and simple as possible for you to follow the trading room.   

What do I need if I don’t want to auto trade? 

Any Depth of Market platform will do and most trading firms offer them. On days when the system is actively trading it can trade up to 10 times a day. However in the current market environment that hasn't happened in some time.

A depth of market platform is encouraged, that's what we use, but at the moment it's not absolutely necessary.

What do I receive if I Sign Up? 

Complete access to the trading room, both audio and video. you'll be able to see in REAL time exactly what we are doing.

Upon request, we will also send you a brief .pdf that will explain the different orders that will be placed with a description of why we use them.

FAQ’s

Q: Will we know in advance if we will trade that day, and if so what style of trading we will be doing?

A: For the most part yes, if there is going to be no trading due to a lack of or extreme volatility you will know in advance so you, and us will not be tied up in the trading room. In most cases you will be notified the night before by email.
So far as the style, the answer again is yes, the level of activity is easy to anticipate based on current volatility and you be notified before hand.

Q: I’m new to the markets and not familiar with the terminology, what’s a tick?

A: The smallest increment a market can trade in; in the case of the Note & Bond market 1 tick is valued at $15.625.

Q: Do you sell the methodology to the system?

A: No.

Q: You’ve apparently put a lot of research into the system, why don’t you post back tested results?

A: It doesn’t make any difference what a system, CTA or trader has done in the past, what counts is what it does today, tomorrow and into the future. Markets are constantly changing and good traders change with them or they won’t remain good traders for long. What you should want to see is what is happening now and it’s the reason we've offered a trial, so you can see what is happening currently, not what happened yesterday, last week or last year.

Q: Why are you limiting the system to 300 subscribers?

A: For execution reasons mainly. It should be relatively easy to execute 300 lots in the Bond and Note markets. However, if execution becomes an issue before the 300 lot limit then the subscription limit will be lowered. On the other hand, if more than the 300 lot limit can be executed then the limit can be raised, it’s a flexible number.
