Special Features TOP

Best features of this trading system package:

The Chameleon ability of Catscan allows it to adapt to current market conditions.

This product is ahead of competing products for these reasons:

99% of all trading systems are Trend Following systems. There's nothing wrong with that except for the fact that markets are NOT trending 70% of the time. Trend following systems tend to get whipsawed to death in these choppy time periods. But Catscan just switches configurations in these time periods.

These upgrades are planned for this software package:
