Algorithmic Trading Software


Man vs. Machine   Recently, I was asked if we are creating algorithmic Trading software for DTS. The answer is Yes. But it s still far out. Why?  Because while the math of this algorithmic trader is based on the Diversified Trading Systems; the program is being designed for an auto trading environment.   IMHO, a common misunderstanding is that one can automate how humans trade and/or that humans can trade the way machines do.  Each device has its own strengths and weaknesses. I believe humans can be better traders than machines because they are able to process more nuances than a computer. Subtle is extremely difficult to code. But, humans suffer from inconsistent execution and follow through. This is not the case with an electronic system. A computer can be depended on to take the same trade under the same conditions every single time. The challenge with algorithmic trading is Chop . Choppy tight range price action is tough enough on us humans.  But, for computers, it s dead

Swing Trading Newsletter


The number of things that can effect the market are nearly unlimited. The other day I changed the cat food and I swear I saw it register on soy beans the next day. All kidding aside, as traders we want to be in the know for the many things that can push the market one direction or another. But more importantly, we want to know what effects the market in a predictable way. Is there such a thing?

Like everything else, this data can been tracked and traders can use it to profit on what the market has shown to do during a particular season.

Day Trading Holiday


A day trading holiday like Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the 4th of July can make day trading the markets even more challenging than usual.  For whatever reason, the markets typically slow down and there are probably a million reasons why this happens. I can’t speak to what the big shots on Wall Street are doing.  But, it s a pretty safe bet they are like me.  When the volume is low and just not moving, I lose interest in trading. Thursday was a perfect example.  It took me all of about an hour to realize all I really wanted was to start my three day weekend!  The real question is when should we take time for ourselves to recharge?  I don’t know about you, but I got into this business was for the freedom to take time off as I please.  Let me make a suggestion: when the next holiday comes around, take a little extra time for yourself and take a break from day trading, you may be surprised at how much it helps. A trader is never really off duty. Whe
