My Trading Systems

Many people ask me what type of trading I do and particularly about my strategy. Most of my trading strategy is proprietary methods researched, developed and tested by me. I use most popular indicators just like other traders, but I also have my own way of trading them. I don’t share the details of what I do, how I do it for 3 reasons.

1. They are all proprietary and something I’ve spent years and years developing and perfecting.
     
2. Most people have a different experience compared to me and from their experience what I see or do will seem inefficient, wrong or something else.
    
   I remember talking with one person and we were sharing details about what we do and I was told I’m not suppose to be doing x,y etc.. even though I am profitable and making money!
     
3. I strongly believe it is not the system or method that makes you profitable, but your discipline and ability to stick to a system or method.
    
   There are many profitable systems/strategies out there that can be profitable, but it requires discipline to stick to the rules.
    
   If you remember the famous story of the Turtle traders. The trading system is publicly available because they say most people will not have the discipline to follow and I agree.

Overall, I do trend trading and I also do divergence trading. I also have computers programmed to run algorithms and spit out data in real-time that I use for my daily trading.  Aside from my love of trading, my passion for technology and computers has helped me develop tools that I use on a daily basis. Nowadays, with the speed and inexpensiveness of computers available to us, there is no reason we shouldn’t use them to level the playing field against the big boys.

I must repeat this again because I believe so much in it. No trading system, computer or technology will allow you to make money profitably if you do not have discipline. Look at my trade results page, there are many times when I have 2-3 losing days in a row. Do I get frustrated and disappointed and over trade as a result. Not at all. Because I know if I stick to my plan and discipline, I will get a trade that will make up for multiple losing days in 1 day! No profitable real day trader makes money every single day. If that’s what they tell you, they are lying. If someone is selling you a system saying you will make money everyday, they are lying! Is that ideal, of course, but it does not happen! Impossible. It is discipline and long term goal that brings you positive results.
