*** PF Prices and 5:1 Compound Returns are based on actual trading and include commissions. Note: when contracts roll to the next month percentages may not calculate properly.
DIA is the ticker symbol for the Dow Diamonds.
PF-AT stands for Precision Futures execution.
DIA Dividend represents the receipt of a dividend, when long or the payment of a dividend when short.

 

Goal Setting Table

Numbers updated through 7/08/05

[Goal Setting Table]

Goal-Setting Procedure: The 1x, 2x, 3x and 5x annual compound growth rates shown in the table refer to our back-tested returns from 7/10/02 through 10/27/04, our live trading results from 10/28/04 to the current date shown, and these two periods combined for goal-setting purposes (continuous from 7/10/02 through current date shown). The goal-setting numbers are provided as guidelines only. Once you've set your wealth goal and a date for attaining it, you can determine the annual growth rate you'll need to attain your goal on schedule. Then, you can make your custom DDD allocation plan, using any combination of the 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x approaches, to target this rate. Since the goal-setting numbers cover the longest continuous period of DDD performance, we recommend using them for this important procedure.

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.

The Dow Double Diamond system was designed for trading the Dow Diamonds (symbol DIA). Some investors may choose to use the system with Dow or Dow Diamond futures or even options. Futures and options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell futures or options. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those discussed on this web site. The past performance of any trading system or methodology is not necessarily indicative of future results.
