System Trading Accounts
One of the simplest, least time-consuming ways to trade commodity futures, options, or foreign exchange markets is to base your trading decisions on signals generated by a computer-based trading system. A trading system eliminates gut feelings, second-guessing, whims, uninformed decisions and other emotions and behaviours that many times are responsible for traders’ losses. An added benefit of a trading system is that it eliminates the anxiety, time and effort of formulating a trade. In fact, many of the top-performing Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) rigidly follow proprietary trading systems.
Many systems require constant monitoring where a trader must be "glued" to a trading terminal. Using a broker can eliminate virtually all the work associated with trading a system. Additionally, a broker can assist you in placing the system orders in the market as an objective third party. It eliminates the temptation to deviate from the system. Brokers watch their screens all day so traders do not have to follow the markets.
Besides freeing up your time, you will eliminate the high costs of hardware, software, research and data fees that you face when attempting to trade a system on your own.
Peregrine Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) offers a full array of investment solutions for investors seeking to diversify their portfolio using futures and FOREX trading systems. These trading systems are computerized software programs designed to analyze many facets of commodity futures, options, and foreign exchange markets and generate specific entry and exit points.

Or, make full use of the PFG Auto-Systems services by investing your account according to any of a variety of trading systems. Regardless of whether you are a novice or a seasoned investor, PFG Auto-Systems is an ideal approach if you don’t have the time or expertise to trade your own account. You decide which program to invest in, and instruct our team to automatically execute the program for you, and enter specific trades on your behalf.

Whether you prefer a long-term or day-trading approach, or something in between, there are futures trading systems that fit your investing style and asset management needs.
PFG Auto-Systems investments all share one important trait - they seek to be profitable in either bull or bear markets. In other words, these programs don’t care whether prices are rising or falling. This important feature has made them an attractive choice for so many of our investors seeking more opportunities, and more diversified portfolios.
Let us put our experience to work for you. Once you decided on the amount to be invested and the type of trading systems that best match your comfort level and temperament, your PFG Auto-Systems broker is there to administer and manage the system for you. We follow the trading systems exactly, generate the appropriate entry and exit orders, and execute them for you.
As a System Trading customer, you will also enjoy a number of other benefits, including:
Flexibility: Since you can lease, rather than purchase, the system or systems you wish to trade, you can shop around and see which ones you like best. You can switch to other systems when market activity or market conditions change, and try out newly developed systems that you would like to explore. Some systems are available for lease for as short a time as one month. Monthly fees range from $100 to $200, depending on the program.
Low commissions and no management fee: You save twice when you work with our system trading division. Our rates are lower than other brokerage firms’ systems trading divisions and we do not charge to manage your account.
Online Account Monitoring: Peregrine Financial Group, Inc. (PFG)’s website gives you real-time account access, making it easy to keep track of your working orders, monitor your fills, and check your account statement.
Simplicity: After completing the paperwork, all you need to do is sign a lease agreement with the developer of the system you choose, sign a letter of direction that allows us to enter orders for your account, and fund your account.
