Trading Talk

In this week’s episode, our Senior Trader Nathan will be talking about a model that is a slight adaptation to one of the first systems he built when he started trading. It takes advantage of fluctuations in the market and we focus on having tight stops and letting our winners run. We'll use a number of different ideas to manage the position to ensure when we're wrong we cut our losses and when we're right we can let our winners run.

In this episode, our Senior Trader looks at what market direction really is, how to define it and then how to take advantage.

In this episode, Senior Trader Thomas will be talking about one of the first models he built when he started automating my trading. This model is a scalping model that uses 2 variations of one of the key indicators we use on our trading desk. This will help us define the trend on a higher time frame, and will allow us to enter better trades on a lower time frame. He will also show you how to build a lot size calculator using a defined risk percentage.

In this week's episode, Nathan will be showing you the start of one of the models he's been developing which incorporates a trailing stop from a previous Trading Talk episode which a number of my clients have asked about. This model looks at an entry using the MACD and it was designed to go long in a trending market and utilizes the parabolic SAR to exit the trade.

In today's episode, Eddie takes a working model and gives it some of the worst possible trade entries you could think of. We test the results with the normal entry conditions and with the bad entry conditions and you'll be amazed (but maybe not how you expect) at the difference a bad entry can make.

In today's episode, our Senior Trader shows you a technique he uses to identify volatility in his systems. The idea came from a trader who wanted to know how we use volatility in our systems.
