Dynamic Trend Offers Top-Down Approach To Trading

  Dynamic Trend's new trading product, Dynamic Trend Profile, incorporates a concept of room sizes, which eliminates the need to select a time frame to trade in. The best room sizes are dynamically identified based on current market conditions. Developed by longtime trader Tom Joseph, the system quickly switches between buy and sell strategies as trend changes are detected. It supports US stocks, foreign exchange, emini, and other futures markets. The software is available on a yearly lease.
