The Art and Science of Trading - Crafting a Personalised Trading Strategy

It's a fact that even as systematic traders, it's easy for us to succumb to emotions if we cannot cope with the strategy we've chosen to trade. So when embarking on a course of strategy development, how can we be sure that the resulting trade executions will meet our objectives, fit with our own personal style, and be manageable around our lifestyle and other commitments? In this enlightening presentation, Alan will take us through the steps to quantify our own personal trading goals and risk tolerance. He'll then show how once you have these, you can target a particular style of trading strategy that is best likely to match those goals. This can then lead you to develop styles of strategies that would give you a much greater chance of trading them successfully, thus realising a P&L profile close to the systematic outcomes.

Coded this up in Amibroker and iterated through the changes according to your video. Returns were pretty much spot on with each. Nicely done!

For your swing trading strategy that you presented do you sell when it hits 70 rsi-2 intraday or at the close?

All entries and exits are at the close of the day.
