Simple Trading System
Many beginners in trading are looking for a simple trading
system that would deliver profits without investing a lot of time into
learning and developing this trading system. The professional trader with a
skeptical smile thinks "I have spent several years researching and studying
until I found something that would work for me - I have lost a lot of money
until I realized how to use what I found and until I start to make some
money..."
The answer is simple - there is no simple trading system. If there was one
then everyone would start making money on the market. If this would be easy
then everyone would be a winner.
The simple rule is - if you lost money on the market that means somebody put
this money into the pocket as profit and if you make a profitable trade then
somebody lost this money.
As you may see there is no simple system in the meaning of the trading
system that is very easy to learn and very easy to use. Yet, the simple
trading system could be built, however the process of the development could
be very complex. The simpler the trading system looks at the end, the
more complex and more difficult was the process of developing this system.
There are a lot of simple trading indicators and many of them work. Yet,
it's not an easy process to start using them. Even if the trading system
looks very simple at the end, most likely there are many years of research,
testing and adjusting behind this system.
You may find several trading systems already developed which look simple.
For instance:
- RSI below 30 indicates an oversold market which could be a good point to buy while
RSI above 70 indicates overbought market and could be a good point to
sell.
- Stochastics below 20 indicate an oversold market and could be a good point to buy
while Stochastics above 80 indicates overbought market and could be a
good point to sell.
- Its good to buy SBV declines below 20% and it's good to sell when SBV advances above -20%.
- Many others...
Even if using technical indicators looks simple, it's not
a final system yet. Many traders realize that this is a much more complex
process when it comes to utilizing this trading system into the real market.
A trader faces a lot of questions that need to be answered: what chart
setting should be used, what stock to select, what timeframe to trade, how
much money to invest, what stop-loss strategy to use.
The process of building a trading system could be divided into several stages:
-
Research - looking for indicators, selecting the market (stock market, options, futures, Forex...)
-
Learning - studying the selected indicators, markets,
selected securities. If at the end of studying a trader realizes that
something does not work he/she has to return back to stage #1.
-
Developing - based on your knowledge of the indicators
and market a trade develops the trading system, you monitor the market,
adjust settings, create additional rules for using the system in Bull
and Bear market as well as develop a stop-loss strategy and money
management strategy that works well with this trading system.
-
Testing - the system should be tested in the real market and as a rule that's where all developmental mistakes come out.
-
Start using.
As you may see, the process of creating a simple trading system is not as easy as many of us would like to see it, and there is no
guarantee that the developed simple trading system will be successful. After
all efforts, a trader may find that the built simple trading system is a
failure. It's great if you may find somebody who can help you, however there
are not a lot of trades willing to share their experiences and as a rule the
companies in the investment world are bounded by certain restriction and may
not explicitly tell how to trade.
