Automated Buying/Selling???

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I'm having a weird thought and really had been searching for an answer.

Though i basically trade chartistically on making Price and Volume as the main ingredients, i was having a thought and exploring another aspect of trading - System based trading. The immediate big question was "Forex" itself! Trading a limited hour market is fine if a system is followed as one can trade all the trading signals given by system. But generally its impossible rather illogical to follow a system if a person is trading Forex for the fact its a 24 hour market. Say for instance, if a person trades on the 4-hr basis time frame then (say) he can just manage to take every single trade that the system shows. But what if a person trades on 15 min bar, or best to assume if he trades his system on 5 min chart. Its obviously impossible to trade all the setups. What one requires now is the automated buying/selling. So i was wondering if there is/(are) any broker who actually provides for automatic buying/selling if the system's condition are fulfilled which shall mean that you just need to develop a system - feed the conditions - and all the trades shall be executed automatically once the conditons are fulfilled and triggered.

 

Regards,

Nishant,

 

I do recommend you stay when your order is executed. The last thing you want to happen is some computer error and being down with a heavy loss.

 

You can use OCO orders. If you use advanced execution platforms like Ninja, you can set your stop and target parameters. Once the order is executed you can simply walk away and come back later. Also obviously in any market, during a 4 hour timeframe you are not going to receive 100 buy/sell signals. More like 1-3 signals.

Good Morning,

 

I saw your post about automated trading signals being executed by your broker in the 24 hour forex market.

Here is another issue with automated forex trading and forex trading in general you might want to be aware of.

I use to have that done for me by the one and only RefcoFX. Unfortunately, now I have no trading capital since their lawyers and the nice bankruptcy court decided to give my trading capital to the secured creditors of Refco, LLC. Bottom line, don't just go with any broker that offers the service and don't leave any more money in your forex account than you need to trade with because your broker has just been given the green light to steal your trading capital if they get into trouble. I now use my automated strategy in the currency futures market which is regulated and protected by the CTFC.

It is a stripped down Tradestation strategy that I run on the front month contract which does not offer enough historical data to use the full version.

 

I am still involved with the spot forex market by selling advice to a couple of forex fcm's for their traders to trade based on supply and demand analysis. Supply and demand is price based analysis only. The best part of that is that you can use OCO orders for all my trades since I identify the areas of supply and demand I want to trade between both long and short ahead of time.

I have a free blog where I post the trade recommendations based on supply and demand for the forex market. Here is the link to the free blog for you to follow if you are interested: Forex Trading Based on Supply and Demand

I am interested in adding the study of volume to what I do by using the Market Profile. I am from Chicago and I work at both the CBOT and CBOE, but I have not met Mr. Steidlmayer. I actually had a fight with the guy who was suppose to introduce me to him the day before I was suppose to meet him.

 

Happy Holidays everyone,

Hi Steve, nice to have met you in the chat room. Now you are a member of the CBOT (have a seat there?) or just working for a trading company at CBOT? Just curious. Very nice blog, see you cover virtually all the majors! I'm only with GBPUSD for now, more than I can chew, I'm afraid. But baby steps for me for now.

Hi Torero,

 

No seat. I have a few shares of stock. Very few now since the buyout was announced. I work in the CBOE now more than the CBOT. I am involved with a couple of firms and I am working toward a CTA so I can do it for myself down the road. I use to like the GBPUSD when I was trading forex for the larger ranges it trades in daily. I hit the short at 1.9697 for the prop. traders, so they were happy today.

Take care,

FD1

Can you explain what prop traders and prop firms are? I was tempted to join one a long while back but decided against it having reading a few reads here and there and wasn't convinced enough to trade in freedom and keeping my own money. Is it as true as some forums claim?

Good morning Torero,

A prop firm is a trading company that lets traders use their trading capital to trade. Most of them now require a trader to deposit a small amount, like $5000.00 and then they can use the firm's leverage to trade larger size than they would be able to on their own. Most of the firms have an arrangement with a clearing house so as to share in the commissions, and most charge monthly fees for the desk, software, ect. A few of them do a decent job of training the trader. Most of the training I see is to jump in when there is news without any idea about where to get out. I trade using supply and demand so I work with the traders to identify the trading ranges for the day. As you know, there are times when good news can be sold into and bad news can be bought if you know where.

So these traders are clueless? I thought you had to have a decent track record before trading their money.

 

Depends on the firm. If the firm is into training new people, they are sharing in the commissions, the desk fees, a portion of the profits, software fees, ect.

They will hire anything with a pulse until they blow out the deposit and leave, or deposit more and stay. You want a job at Goldman so you can share in the billion dollar bonus if you have a track record, lol.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
