About Me
Gerd Luedtke is a Dubai-based retired software developer with a passion for sharing insights into the future of the managed futures industry. Through this non-profit webpage, my aim is to educate individuals about the advantages of incorporating a managed futures portfolio into traditional diversified investments.
My primary goal is to stay abreast of developments within the managed futures sector and curate a collection of links to the latest news articles, books, and other valuable content for anyone interested in staying informed and following industry trends.
Global capital moves constantly in and out of different asset classes. Only the correct diversification helps to reduce risk and to increase overall performance. Managed futures trading strategies play a crucial role in this.

Markets
Futures trading systems use global markets in foreign exchange, financial futures, and commodities to generate returns that are not correlated to those of equity and fixed-income investments. These trading strategies can be applied to various futures markets worldwide, including interest rate, equity, currency, grain, soft, metal, and energy contracts in Europe, the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Australia. They consist of trend following, counter-trend, and chart pattern strategies, and can use various proprietary trading models that act independently of each other. Each model generates its own entry and exit signals and can trade either long or short. In volatile economic environments, which can cause stress to a typical stock and bond portfolio, a managed futures investment program can be an optimal choice.
