Hamer Trading

Since 1998

 

Hamer Trading Inc. was founded in 1998 with the goal of producing long term investment returns through the development of systematic trading programs using historical research and statistical analysis. Our belief is that long-term investment returns can be delivered regardless of economic conditions.

The core trading method is a proprietary trend following system, which captures trends in a diversified group of U.S. and international futures markets with an average holding period of 100 days. The program has been refined over the past years from a multi-system / multi-time frame approach to a return back to longer-term trend following methods.

Trading in futures markets can also be very risky with a potential for substantial loss and would not be suitable for every investor.

Our Belief


Our Belief

Our Belief


Our Belief

Our belief in choosing a broad market selection of futures markets to trade comes from our desire to have exposure to any trending sector that might develop from year to year. Another benefit from this diversification across both sectors and markets is the potential for reduced volatility within the overall portfolio. The system trades seven different market sectors: interest rate, currency, energy, metal, grain, stock index, and softs (cocoa, coffee, etc) trading over 30 different individual futures markets.

Trading in futures markets can also be very risky with a potential for substantial loss and would not be suitable for every investor.

Our performance is based on principles refined over the last twenty-five years. Continual testing of the model assures us that we remain at the forefront of changing markets and trends. 

Simplicity - After trying multiple strategies and multiple models, our best returns have been achieved through a single and rather simplistic trend following model.

Diversified - We do not know where the next trend will develop, but by allocating across multiple markets, we are ready when it does.

Controlled - Each trade we make is backed with a strict risk control measure, we initially allocate less than 1% of our portfolio to any one market. When a trade does not go our way, we get out.

Balanced - Our portfolio is spread across seven sectors, from agricultural products, to currencies. These sectors are uncorrelated and can help provide steady and less volatile returns.

Transparency - We provide daily third-party trade reconciliation and full performance and risk analysis reporting through our administrator. Ongoing due diligence and manager monitoring is also performed.

Patience - Our belief is this is a major key to our success. A staggered entry and exit approach provides confirmation of trends before our full positions are placed. We do not “bet” on the markets with full positions from the start.
