The Aberration Trading Systems
The Aberration trading system was developed by Keith Fitschen in 1986 to trade a basket of commodities. Aberration trades across all eight commodity groups: the grains, meats, food products, metals, petroleum products, currencies, financials, and stock indices using the exact same rules and parameter value for each market. Aberration will generate an entry signal in each commodity approximately 3 to 4 times per year and is in each market about 60 percent of the time. This longer term trend following trading approach yields an average profit of about $665 per trade across 57 worldwide commodities after slippage and commission are deducted.
The key to Aberration's consistent performance is diversification across the commodity groups. While many systems are developed around one market, Aberration participates in all eight of the commodity groups and over 50 worldwide markets. This exposure allows profits from the "moving" group to make up for losses in other groups. In the course of a year, one or more commodities in each group will make a big move. Aberration will pinpoint these, and the profits from those trades will more than offset the losses from the other groups.
Through extensive research on volatility and its effect on long term trend following systems Aberration Plus was released in 1998 to help smooth volatility, lower drawdown, and enhance returns. Aberration Plus employs a filter which requires confirmation from Aberration and the new “permissioning” filter which takes volatility into account. The enhanced signal has been an improvement in real time trading since Aberration Plus was released.
Aberration Plus is the long term trend following signal for all TSI portfolios and is regarded as the back-bone of the trading portfolios.
