Aberration has several portfolios so it is not necessary to have $100,000 to
trade it. I believe there is a portfolio for $15,000.
It regularly has large drawdowns but if you can stand them, I think it has a
fairly consistent long term return.
The developer has recently added Aztec, another system, which when
hypothetically combined with Aberration, substantially reduces drawdown.
However, this combined portfolio does require $100,000.
I recently started trading this combo and will keep the group posted on the
results.
