Kingsview Short Term Opportunity Family: Stock Index System (KV STO SIS)
The Kingsview Short Term Opportunity Family Stock Index System is a systematic and non-discretionary trading program. The strategy attempts to capture the volatility in the S&P 500 futures market. The strategy was first developed 25 years ago by Philip Schuck and Charles Lewis, but it has continued to evolve as they make adjustments to factor in current market conditions. The program focuses on statistically based quantitative analysis rather than a qualitative analysis. Risk Management is the main priority of this system. Trades are placed on a daily basis and are never held overnight. Pre-defined loss limits are established prior to entering trades.
