Semi‑Automated Trading Strategy

Hi traders,

Welcome to Episode 389 of Trading Talk. This week we reveal a semi‑automated strategy designed to replace the habit of clicking the buy button with a more disciplined approach — turning on your algo in Buy Only mode. Every entry then follows strict, pre‑defined risk and trade management rules, with no exceptions.

We’ve also added a built‑in counter that tracks how many times you’re “right” after switching the algo on. To make it practical and engaging, we’re launching a 30‑day community challenge to see who can achieve the highest accuracy score.

Finally, a reminder that the 2025 Algo Trading Conference is approaching, featuring Dr. Daniel Sinnig, Boris Schlossberg, and Alan Clement — expect world‑class models and management techniques you can apply immediately.

Key Points

  • Semi‑automated model that enforces risk and trade rules
  • Replace manual “buy clicks” with a disciplined Buy Only toggle
  • Built‑in counter to track “How many times you are correct”
  • 30‑day community accuracy challenge

Why This Matters

  • Removes impulsive entries; standardises execution
  • Improves consistency with rule‑based risk control
  • Creates measurable feedback via an accuracy counter
  • Supports continuous improvement through weekly reviews

Episode Summary

We demonstrate how to structure a semi‑automated strategy that activates Buy Only entries under predefined conditions and immediately applies protective logic: position sizing, stops, and rule‑based exits. We also show how to log and review your accuracy metric weekly so you can iterate on filters, timing, and management without guesswork.
