From time to time, our Customers send us screenshots and Word reports of their successes with Dakota so that we can show them to you. The results shown are for the most part hypothetical and the usual disclaimer applies. Sorry, but we don't have, nor would we even request, a customers' private actual trading results.

SP 500 eMini
Dennis - Netherlands
Dennis in The Netherlands sends us an example of some of his nice work. He's built a swarm of his own private trading bots on the SP500 emini and over a 7.5 year period it's achieved 65% winners, winners beat losers by 2.13 to 1, profited about $118,000 using a commission of $10/round trip. His equity curve is a fairly straight line with a nice up-turn recently. Results are hypothetical.

Rydex Velocity
Bill - Texas
Bill in Texas again sends us an example of some of his good work with the Rydex Velocity 100 fund (RYVYX). Over the last 4.5 years, it's achieving 62% winners, winners beat losers by 2.19 to 1, profited $5,376 on a starting investment of $3,000. His equity curve is 93% of a perfectly straight line.
What trading bot is he using? He says, "It was just a very simple modification of one of the available Bots....I got the idea for the modification from the Message board postings."
Thanks Bill !

SP 400 eMini
Mike - New Jersey
Mike in New Jersey sends us a screen shot of his SP 400 MidCap e-Mini system that he built in Dakota R/T. Since April, he hypothetically gained $16,000 per contract on the SP 400 MidCap e-Mini with an equity curve straightness of 95%. Good going, Mike. Prices are at top, his signals are in the middle and his equity curve is the lower plot in the graphic.
He says about this swarm he's created, "Every run so far has produced favorable results and it has not broken down. You've seen a few runs already - the curve's are very similar. You can see where the bots (parameters) have made critical decisions and never yet have those decisions degraded performance over the long run. I would think that a static system breaking down is a given and only a matter of time. I see much of the swarms functionality applied to systems as a method to knock an already robust system back into phase with the market conditions of the moment."

American Balance Fund
Michael - New York
Contributed by Michael from Rochester, N.Y., he invests in the American Balance Fund vs. a money market account. He uses Dakota's trailing stops (the purple x's), which keep him out of troubled waters.
His system hypothetically gave him 82% winners and an amazing 27.7 times more winning points vs. losing points while in the market only 67% of the time.
Nice investing, Michael.

David - Texas
Contributed by David in San Antonio, TX, he's using the adaptive "Doubly Smoothed Stochastic" bot to capture a hypothetical 2,036 point gain on the SP500 futures compared to a buy and hold of 665 points. With 64% winning trades, he has an equity curve straightness of 97%.

Huaneng Power Stock
Bill - Texas
Bill in Dallas, TX contributes a nice equity curve on Huaneng Power, trading Long only, walking forward adapting over 5 years.
He says, and I quote, "In the market only about 50% of the time, 70% Winners, and Equity Straightness of .92. Almost double the performance of buy and hold also. This is the kind of results I like to see!"

Stockholm OMX
Ingvar - Sweden
Contributed by Invar in Sweden, he shows us how to get a pretty straight equity curve on Stockholm's OMX index.
This was made with the Swing Trader "bot" that comes with Dakota. No programming required. All results are "out-of-sample" (not back fitted).
His system gained a hypothetical 2,263 points vs. the market's 687 points and its equity curve is 94% of a perfectly straight line.
NOTE: The performance shown is hypothetical and have not been substantiated by records of actual trading. 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.
