Concept
The "managed futures account" concept of swissDirekt
is based on a short term trading strategy of
stock market and interest rate derivatives (Eurostoxx 50, Dax, S&P500, Interest Rate Futures).
Short term trading is "reactive trading"
as opposed to static computerized trading strategies that
are based on historical data.
This alternative investment strategy offers the advantage to be invested only
for a short time frame, thus minimizing the risk of being
exposed to adverse market developments. It reduces especially
the risk of big price fluctuations caused by bad news overnight.
Intradaytrading offers the possibility to react fast and
flexible to macroeconomic and geopolitical developments and
therefor provides the opportunity to profit from short term
price movements.
Trading of Derivatives offers the advantage
to spread the risk over the whole market. The negative effect
of huge losses of a single stock doesn’t really influence
the overall index. Derivatives can be traded
long or short which means that you can equally profit from
rising or falling markets. The extraordinary liquidity of
Derivatives allows to trade fast and efficiently
at good prices.
