The "Serendipity" Bond System was designed to be a short-term system that would trade successfully on the short side in order to complement and enhance our exis ting long only systems. However, as the Serendipity name implies, we were extre mely pleased to find that this short side system has excellent historical result s trading from the long side as well. In this report we present a historically profitable short term strategy that may be implemented to systematically trade t he Treasury Bonds futures market from both the long and short side. Hypothetical Test Results Before we discuss the rules of the system, we will present the hypothetical resu lts. Table 1 shows the hypothetical performance of the system tested over 11 yea rs of data. For testing purposes, we used continuously back-adjusted daily data. We ignored all night sessions, and all calculations were based on day-session-o

nly prices and ranges. $100 was deducted from every trade to simulate the effect s of commissions and slippage. The test period was from 1/4/88 to 4/30/99 with " maxbarsback" set to 50. ("MaxBarsBack" refers to the number of bars of data nece ssary to calculate the rules in a system. System rules begin to operate only aft er the MaxBarsBack period. The test period specified includes the MaxBarsBack p eriod, so that no trades are taken for the first 50 trading days of the historic al data.) This system trades much more frequently than our other Bond systems, trading 140 times over the last 11 years. Trading one contract since 1/4/88 would have resu lted in a gain of $67,031 with a maximum drawdown of $4,594. The system is reaso nably accurate with 68 percent winning trades (95 out of the 140 trades were win ners), and winning trades were larger than losing trades by a factor of 1.18. Th e average trade was $479, a respectable number for such a short-term system. The re were 13 consecutive winners and the maximum consecutive losers in the test pe riod was 3. The largest winning trade was $4,806 (a short trade) which accounted for only about 7% of the net profit, confirming that the net profits gained wer e not skewed significantly by a single big winner. A modest but respectable prof it factor of 2.50 summarizes the general efficiency of the system: it has made a gross profit of $111,843 versus a gross loss of $44,813 over the test period. Although this system is not as efficient as our long only systems, when we consi der that this system was designed to short bonds frequently during a period of s trongly rising historical price data we are more than pleased with these histori cal numbers.

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 M AY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACT ORS SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO S UBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REP RESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. System Concept The concept behind the entry strategy of the Serendipity System is simple and qu ite logical. Like our other bond systems, we intend to buy on dips. However, un like our other systems this system will also sell short on rallies. In order to maintain some element of non-correlation between the various long side systems, we were careful to use a different "dip" indicator from our previous bond syste ms. This long and short system is designed to trade multiple times during a trend; e ach time seeking to capture a small but significant profit in the direction of t he trend. Trading Rules The rules for Serendipity are straightforward and are as follows: To go long in the Bond market, the following conditions must be met. 1. The closing price must be above the 32 day simple moving average of clos ing prices. 2. The closing price must be below the 8 day simple moving average of closi ng prices. If these two conditions are met then buy tomorrow only if and when prices rise 2 2 ticks (22/32) above today's opening price. Since the trigger is added to toda y's opening price, the resulting buy stop order for tomorrow can be entered prio r to the opening. (The opening price referred to is the day-session opening.) The long exit rules are as follows: 1. Exit on a stop at the lowest low of the last twenty days. 2. Or exit the trade on a stop order $1,250 below the entry price if this d ollar stop is closer than the twenty day stop.

3. Take a profit at the open following any close that shows an open profit of one Average True Range or more. 4. Exit on a reversal signal to go short. To go short in the Bond market, the following conditions must be met. 1. The closing price must be below the 32 day simple moving average of clos ing prices. 2. The closing price must be above the 8 day simple moving average of closi ng prices. If these two conditions are met then sell short tomorrow only if and when prices decline 16 ticks (16/32) below today's opening price. Since the trigger is su btracted from today's opening price, the resulting sell stop order for tomorrow can be entered prior to the opening. (The opening price referred to is the day-s ession opening.) The short exit rules are as follows: 1. Exit on a stop at the highest high of the last twenty days. 2. Or exit on a stop order $1,250 above the entry price if this dollar stop is closer than the twenty day stop. 3. If the trade is profitable on a closing basis within the first two days we will trail a temporary stop at yesterday's high. After three closes this sto p is removed. 4. Take a profit at the open following any close that shows an open profit of one Average True Range or more. 5. Exit on a reversal signal to go long. Entry Logic The entry logic typifies what we believe to be valid trading concepts. The setup for a long trade requires a simple trend direction indicator followed by a pric e decline. The trade is then entered on a short term entry technique requiring a volatility breakout above the opening price of the setup bar. The short trades are just the reverse. Trend indication is critical to trading success in most markets. As a general ru le, you do not want to enter a trade from the long side unless the trend is up, and you should not sell short unless you have confirmed that the trend is down. The closing price relative to the 32 day simple moving average is used to defin e the direction of the trend and our trades. (This is an optimized moving avera ge that we expect to be reasonably robust. Our research shows that any moving av erage between 20 and 50 will produce satisfactory results.) If the close is abo ve the MA the trend is up and we want to go long on a dip. If the close is belo w the MA the trend is down and we want to go short on a rally. A dip is defined by requiring the price to close below the eight day MA. A rally is defined by requiring the price to close above the eight day MA. (The range of satisfactory results on this moving average is 7 to 14. Shorter lengths tend to give more tr ades while longer lengths tend to have a better winning percentage. It should b e noted that a nine day MA produces a higher profit factor and a smaller drawdow n with only slightly less profit. We selected eight because it has more trades and more total profit.) Exit Logic When we began construction of this system we knew that we wanted it to work well on the short side. We were also very aware that our test data had a very stron g upward bias. This meant that there would be little to be gained by holding on to the short trades for a long time in an effort to let the profits run. In acc ordance with our intention to exit the trade quickly at a short-term profit, we

have chosen a profit target of only one Average True Range. Since we plan to ent er our short trades on a rally we will exit and take our modest profits on a dip . The concept of a modest profit target is one of the keys to the system's ability to achieve such high profitability while frequently going short in a period of long term rising prices. We knew from the beginning that if we tried to hold out for large profits on the short side we wouldn't succeed. We are obviously using our hindsight and knowledge of the data in selecting this exit strategy. This doesn't mean that the one ATR exit is a bad exit or one that won't work in the f uture. On a worst case basis if we encounter a strongly declining market we wil l simply be taking our profits too soon and complaining all the way to the bank. A more dangerous use of our hindsight might have been to try and go for larger profits on the long trades relying on the known data bias to make it work. We left the exits symmetrical so that the profit target is the same on the long and short trades. Its very interesting to compare the average winning trade on the long side with the average winning trade on the short side. The short trades a re larger. Its also interesting to compare the difference in time required to m ake one ATR of profit in the long and short trades. The short trades are quicker to reach our profit objective. These results confirm our frequent observation that short trades generally move faster and with bigger ranges than long trades. If a short trade has a profitable close within the first two days, we try not to let it turn into a big loser so we put in a stop at the high of yesterday. T his temporary stop should prevent a short trade that starts out in our favor fro m turning into a big loser. Assuming that the profit target is not reached, we have two alternative exits. T he first is a $1,250 money management stop. This stop is added for protection ag ainst major losses if the trade goes against us right away. We also wanted a way to exit the trade with a smaller loss or even a small profit if the trade start s moving against us so we installed the 20-day channel exit. This exit is seldom needed and has very little effect on the historical results. Since it doesn't h urt and reduces the size of the average loss slightly, we elected to leave it in . Weaknesses The Serendipity System is designed to exit at a quick profit target and does not let profits run. This is because the system was designed to have a high winnin g percentage on the short side trades. In a strong trending market we may wish t hat it held trades longer. However we should remember that this system was inte nded to be used in conjunction with other bond systems that do hold winning trad es much longer. Conclusion When we first offered our long only bond systems we were constantly questioned a bout trading the short side of the bonds. Because of the strong upward bias in the bond data the short side performance of the longer term systems was mediocre . To avoid losing money in a sustained downtrend these long only systems are des igned to switch off and cease trading. However, there is potential profit on the short side and we wanted to capture whatever we could. We have spent more than six months of research trying to develop a solid system that would make money on the short side in spite of the strong historical data bias. We believe the Ser endipity Bond System is capable of making consistent profits in either direction with a high percentage of winning trades. We think it is a very worthwhile addi tion to our bundle of well designed bond systems.
