Trading Indicators and/or Systems

Originally from ticket #2822.

Good Afternoon,

I am a private investor interested in mechanical trading systems, whether manual or automated. Do you offer any robust trading systems or indicators or have your programmed any for clients that are currently commercially available. I understand that the vast majority of indicators and systems that are commercially available are junk. No worries if nothing comes to mind.

Hi

In the context of MicroTrends trading tools - the software is robust for those who have a trading approach that is viable and leverage the software to assist in manual, semi or fully automated trading. Or it is robust for traders willing to invest weeks and months if not years to discover via experimentation and research how to utilise the software for a viable approach to suit their own trader psychology, capital requirement, risk appetite and trading system profile, such as high win ratio, inverse risk reward or low win ratio - positive risk reward - all positive expectancy - but will appeal to some traders and not others. it is up to each trader to find and decide what works for them, a system that works is or is robust is meaningless. A system that is robust to suit the capital, needs, availability, trading plan and technical level of an individual is what is required - on that basis our tools are free for demo NinjaTrader, and strategies are free for useage on sim accounts in realtime - you only need to pay if you find the software to your benefit and you would like to live trade.

Trade Profile Example
If you an investor and not a trader - you will be more suited to a swing trading/ position trading system than day trading, Swing Trading systems are much easier and more robust than any day trading system and also allow you freedom for other activities. Day trading is more intense and statistically no where close to swing trading.

So you would probable look at a moving average crossover, AT BReakout or MACD crossover on a daily chart for example. and take a trade weekly and exit friday - or hold the weekend if you have the capital and a balanced portfolio.

Feel free to experiment with any software here:

You could for example run it on mutliple charts and manually take trades at your discretion.

Disclaimer
Trading and investment carry a high level of risk, and MicroTrends Ltd does not make any recommendations for buying or selling any financial instruments. We offer educational information on ways to use our sophisticated MicroTrends trading tools, but it is up to our customers and other readers to make their own trading and investment decisions or to consult with a registered investment advisor.

Vendor Educators:

We are not able to provide any stats - just the sentiment that this is software that is popular with a number of traders:

Woodies CCI CLub

where you can lease a system from them and get support and utilise the system in sim for autotrading - you can take or place trades manually - this is a cheaper option - as you can upgrade to the full live autotrading package when you want to.

In all cases the results are down to the skill of the trader. For example If you provide 2 idential winning systems to 2 traders their results will differ due to the human element.
