The system was launched on the back of back-tested results over 26 years, which showed historical returns per annum in excess of 150%. The LS Trader System currently trades 43 markets including commodities such as Corn, Cotton, Gold, Silver, Wheat and so on, as well as trading major worldwide currencies. The system also trades interest rate futures, government bonds and leading indexes from across the world.

In August 2010, The LS Trader Group launched its brand new forex trading system known as LS Forex System. The LS Forex Trading System has been solely optimised for the forex markets, and similar to LS Trader it tries to identify profitable trading trends and ride these trends to the maximum to make the most amount of profit per trade. The LS Forex Trading System trades just 8 of the currency markets that we do at LS Trader, minus the US Dollar Index.

The LS Forex Trading System has the major advantage in that forex markets are so liquid which means that investors can enter the trades without having to worry about slippage being an issue, or getting a wide spread that can occur when you open trades in some of ...
... the commodity markets. The LS Forex Trading System also just trades 8 markets which are all from the very same sector which means that the system has different entry and exit criteria's compared to the LS Trader system. The LS Forex Trading System has been back tested from 1983 to 2010 and the system has produced a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 97.83%. The LS Forex Trading System has only experienced 2 losing years from 26 and has a MAR (measurement of risk-adjusted returns) of 1.71.

The LS Trader Group is constantly looking to add new systems to its LS brand, and plans are under way to develop a Futures Trading System to complement our LS Trader spread betting system and LS Forex trading system. The secret to our success at the LS Trader Group is our trend following strategy. Trend following is the only strategy that consistently makes money in the markets and it is the strategy that is used by successful traders such as Bill Dunn, Ed Seykota and Keith Campbell. All three of these guys have made millions in profits from both the bull and bear markets as a result of trend following. This is the very strategy that we used at LS Trader to achieve our record breaking 1504.1% profit in 2008!
