Professional Trading Analytics
Why Trading Templates?
Trading for a living is extremely difficult and requires a very degree of patients and discipline. However, with a bit of diligence, dedication, and superior market intelligence it can be a lucrative and rewarding endeavor. Many novice traders want to be always active in the markets. Generally, this methodology leads to big profit and loss swings or many small losses that cause the trader to run out of risk capital. In addition, inconsistent profit and loss swings are extremely hard to handle and will eventually take a toll on a traders mental and physical health. To be successful, you have to be patient, pick your spots and always know your risk. Trading Templates provides real time easy to understand market context so you always know where you stand relative to other key data points. Trading Templates seeks to pick the low hanging fruit only to avoid the pitfalls of overtrading and taking poorly quantified trading setups. Remember, rule #1 is to stay in the game. And rule #2 is to never forget rule #1.
Typical indicators don’t work: Most standard indicators build for retail and institutional traders do not work. Most indicators are a derivative from price action, lag considerably and offer little value. However, even standard indicators can be curve fit and optimized to look very good for a short period of time. This method of overfitting is extremely deceptive and generally will not be profitable going forward. In addition, today’s markets don’t necessarily reward a breakout trader any more than they reward the mean reversion trader. Markets have become more difficult to beat over the last several years with the proliferation of high frequency trading. However, with the right analytics there has probably never been a better time to capitalize extreme movements and high volatility in Equities, FX, Futures and other Commodities. Remember, volatility equals opportunity if you know what your doing.
