Trading system for breakthroughs

Trading system could be breached in fact seen as another form of trade on the movement (which is a style of short-term trading designed to capture the immediate follow-up motion). In other words, the trader is not interested in any long-term forecast or analysis, but only the immediate price action.

Trading system for breakthroughs based on the assumption that, if the market moves a certain percentage from the previous price level, there is a high probability of a continuation of the movement. This continuation might only last a short period of time or be very small distance from the initial point of entry, but it still leaves a profit to be in this play. Trader must be satisfied that the market can give.

On the trading system for a breakthrough, trade always takes place in the direction in which the market is moving at this time. The position is usually open through the warrants to buy or sell. The calculation of a small continued for the sake of which is a game based on the principle that momentum tends to precede price. There is also another principle of price, which works by creating opportunities for trade. This is because the market tends to alternate between a period of equilibrium (balance between the forces of supply and demand) and the state of imbalance. This imbalance between supply and demand leads to increase the range (the market is looking for a new level) and this is precisely what compels us to enter the market.

There are several ways to create a short-term trading system for a breakthrough. I believe that different types of systems, based on expanding the range tested is similar. Therefore, any of the methods for yourself you do not select this regard, above all, your personal preferences.

When designing the system, you can select the placement of a warrant of entry, while addressing the opening price or closing price the previous day. This entry warrant may be a function of the range the previous day, or the percentage from the previous range of 2-10 days, etc. Mechanical output levels may vary from the use of a fixed objective level to using a function of time, such as opening or closing the next day. Most of these systems works best when used in a wide range of stop-order.

Another way to trade on the breakthrough is the use of the "breakthrough channel, which is simply the purchase of the highest peak in the past seven days, in the case of a channel with 7 periods, or the highest peak in the past 2 days, in the case of a breakthrough channel 2 periods . In the case of models of intra-day break, when the purchase is subject to overcome the maximum or minimum sale at overcoming the previous bar, in fact, used breakthrough channel 1 period as a signal to trade. The best known long-term trading system at the break, adapted by Richard Dennis for teaching "turtles" were trading at 4-week break the channel, originally designed by Richard Donchianom. Other trading systems are based on the breakthrough in image patterns, trend lines breakthroughs, breakthroughs above or below the price band, or envelope, or the variety of simple functions of the expansion of the range.

Benefits for beginners

Benefits derived from the trading system to breakthroughs:

Trading system for short-term breakthroughs could be one of the best exercises to improve your trading.
. First, it will teach you to do things that are hard to do - buying at the top or bottom of the sale to drive the market! Most people feel very uncomfortable with this!
. Secondly, there is always a money management - presentation of a stop-order and immediately after the opening position. Violation of certain rules of money management is the most common cause of failure among traders.
. Third, it teaches the importance of the completion of the trader's transaction after its opening, because the majority of trading systems to breakthroughs operates best when the position is moved to another day.
. Last, it allows the trader to significantly improve their performance skills. Most trading systems to breakthroughs are quite active compared with the long-term systems are following the trend. Trader can get the skills of placement of orders on a variety of markets. The presence of some mechanical point of entry is sometimes just one thing that a trader is required to overcome their fears about clicking on the "trigger". An order placed in advance and the market, and then automatically puts the trader in the trade, if the level of orders placed over.

Even if a person prefers, eventually enter the market at their discretion, trade with the help of a mechanical system for breakthroughs may still provide an invaluable experience. It should at least raise awareness of the trader of some types of price movements in the market, especially if it is connected with the entrance to the market in a counter-trend models of recovery. This may help to understand the true force of the daily trend.

"For" and "against" the system of trade breakthrough

Like most systems, breakthroughs in trade will bring a good profit on volatile markets, or trend, but will tend not to operate when markets fluctuate within narrow ranges. I am confident that these systems are among the most profitable types of systems for trade and also feel that they will continue to be profitable in the future. They are systems of "expendable" and quite effective, although they tend to deteriorate when the order is placed too high (more than 50 contracts). However, if you do not feel that the "Holy Grail Bowl" should be taken into account the following considerations:

Login may be somewhat nervous, especially when the market runs ahead. Best breakthroughs will not give you a recovery log. You are either already in the game or not! If you have a concept that the best breakthroughs into trend days, and most likely will close at the maximum or minimum of the day, it is not too difficult to enter the market. Usually best to have a warrant for the purchase or sale, is already placed on the market.

Sometimes the market GEPy opened outside your initial entry level. They often become the best deals. They can also become the most annoying quick turn. Big GEPy allow all the same to make a deal, but they definitely add more volatility to your account. If your position was closed by stop-order and a new signal in the opposite direction, then the amended transaction, usually filled with more than one loss.

Quick Facing a very unpleasant moment, but they are inevitable when trading system breakthroughs. Many times I have bought and sold for a maximum to minimum. Need more confidence in the eventual result that trade in this type of systems. System testing should always be placed a minimum of 3 years, preferably for 10. Make sure to explore all the model data to see how the system works.

In order to balance the trading system at the breakthroughs can be applied in most markets. However, the market can be very beneficial for one year and be mediocre, at best, next year. The portfolio of the 10-12 market, I think, works quite well. The problem with attempting to sell too many markets at once is that can be quite difficult to maintain an appropriate level of activity, if your settings are quite sensitive. Many times in the development of systems, people miss the fact, what the number one person can realistically manage.

Strengthening basic togovli for breakthroughs

Adding a filter can sometimes be further improvement. Examples of different types of filters include: indicators to determine whether the market is in a position to trend, seasonality, days, weeks, or the degree of reduction in variability, which is already on the market. Periods of low volatility in the market may be determined by a reduction in the true range, a low ADX, or statistical indicators, such as low volatility or the historical relationship of low standard deviation.

The system then might look like, for example, as follows:
1. The initial state corresponds to the variability =
2. Buying or selling on a warrant based on the opening of the bar plus or minus a percentage of the range the previous day.
3. Setting the initial stop, the warrant immediately after the position was opened.
4. Exit strategy.

The types of variables that can be used in a simple trading system to break the expansion of the range:

1. Period - is a breakthrough, based on the functions of the previous day or previous 10-day period?
2. Range - is the average range during this period or the highest, lowest or full range?
3. The percentage - what percentage of the range is used? Perhaps, for example, use 120% of the full range of the previous 3 days.
4. Database - the range is a function added to the closure of the previous day or the opening of the current day.

This feature can also be added to the maximum or minimum previous bar or the previous period, such as the past 10 days. Under the rule of thumb, the higher the percentage factor used, the greater the percentage of winning deals. However, the whole system could be less profitable, because it takes fewer transactions.

Once again, an example of initial conditions could be: to enter the market only a day after the very narrow range over the past 7 days. Or, take the deal, only if the market made a new 20-day maximum or minimum over the past five trading days. Whenever you add a new filter system, be sure to compare the results with the base and checked the difference in the level of activity.

Exit strategy

1. On the basis of time (closing at 2-day, etc.)
2. The first profitable opening (Larry Williams)
3. Task or an objective standard (the average true range, the maximum / minimum of the previous day)
4. Movable stop-order (moved on the basis of moving averages, Parabolika, 2-day maximum / minimum)

Risk
Managed risk - the amount of risk that can be predetermined and set stop order.

Types of stop orders:
1. a fixed dollar amount
2. function of the average true range
3. price level (eg, maximum / minimum bar)

Uncontrolled risk:
1. Night of GEO (the risk of opening and closing). You can not get out of position when the market is not trading. Thus, you are subject to adverse GEPam, which may be increased or the news of what some events.
2. The risk of slipping. Fast market conditions or thin, volatile markets often cause a trader to carry out transactions at prices much lower than expected.

Generally, the numbers that characterize most of the systems are very dependent on prehension few good deals. You can not afford to miss a good deal that can make the entire month.

Here are some recommendations for trade in this or any other system:

1. Achieve confidence through first-commerce system for virtual accounts.
2. Make sure that you can successfully sell on the system mechanically before attempting to sell at their discretion.
3. Compare the actual effectiveness of their work, compared with the mechanical system at the end of each day.
4. Monitor the effectiveness of the standard version, for example, 100 transactions, or a certain number per week.
5. Manage exits rather than filter the entries.
It is impossible to say in advance what the deal will be good. One missing entry may be significant and can not afford to miss it. Managing exit means two things: first, learn where everything is good, let the random large transaction lasted an additional hour or two before finishing second (which really depends on experience), learn to recognize chutchut faster when the transaction is not working and go directly to the so as to reach the stop order. All systems show the subtle nuances and understanding of market behavior over time.
6. Keep a notebook of your observations and models that have attracted your attention. This way you really "make the system of its own."
7. Never worry about how many other people selling systems. If slippage seems excessive, it often involves a significant breakthrough triangle or accumulation period. Remember: something had to make the market far enough to penetrate through the break in the first place!
