DEVELOPING TRADING SYSTEMS

2_Developing_Trading_Systems_IMAGE

A trading system is simply a group of specific rules, or parameters, that determine entry and exit points for a given equity.

These points, known as signals, are often marked on a chart in real time and prompt the immediate execution of a trade.

The most common technical analysis tools used to construct the parameters of trading systems are:

  • Moving Averages (MA)

  • Stochastic (STO)

  • Oscillators

  • Relative Strength (RSI)

  • Bollinger Bands (BB)

Often, two or more of these forms of indicators will be combined in the creation of a rule.

The reasons why you might want to adopt a trading system are:

  • It takes all emotion out of trading – Emotion is often cited as one of the biggest flaws of individual investors. Investors who are unable to cope with losses second guess their decisions and end up losing money. By strictly following a pre-developed system, system traders can forgo the need to make any decisions; once the system is developed and established, trading is not empirical because it is automated. By cutting down on human inefficiencies, system traders can increase profits.

  • It can save a lot of time – Once an effective system is developed and optimized, little to no effort is required by the trader. Computers are often used to automate not only the signal generation, but also the actual trading, so the trader is freed from spending time on analysis and making trades.

  • It’s easy if you let others do it for you – Need all of the work done for you? Some companies sell trading systems that they have developed. Other companies will give you the signals generated by their internal trading systems for a monthly fee. Be careful, though – many of these companies are fraudulent. Take a close look at when the results they boast about were taken. After all, it’s easy to win in the past. Look for companies that offer a trial, which lets you test out the system in real-time.

TRADE AUTOMATION – SmartLines – SmartOrder

W21automatic-forex-trading-software

Traders and investors can turn precise entry, exit and money management rules into automated trading systems that allow computers to execute and monitor the trades. One of the biggest attractions of strategy automation is that it can take some of the emotion out of trading since trades are automatically placed once certain criteria are met.

W21smarttemplate_large

Automated trading systems, also referred to as mechanical trading systems, algorithmic trading, automated trading or system trading, allow traders to establish specific rules for both trade entries and exits that, once programmed, can be automatically executed via a computer.

The trade entry and exit rules can be based on simple conditions such as a moving average crossover, or can be complicated strategies that require a comprehensive understanding of the programming language specific to the user’s trading platform, or the expertise of a qualified programmer.

Automated trading systems typically require the use of software that is linked to a direct access broker, and any specific rules must be written in that platform’s proprietary language.

W21smartorder_large

The main advantages of automated trading systems are:

  • Minimize Emotions;

  • Ability to Backtest;

  • Preserve Discipline;

  • Achieve Consistency;

  • Improved Order Entry Speed;

  • Diversify Trading.

 

But there are disadvantages with automated trading systems like:

  • Mechanical failures;

  • Monitoring is necessary;

  • Over-optimization.

W21smartpattern_large

In conclusion, although appealing for a variety of factors, automated trading systems should not be considered a substitute for carefully executed trading. Mechanical failures can happen, and as such, these systems do require monitoring. Server-based platforms may provide a solution for traders wishing to minimize the risks of mechanical failures.
