Algorithmic trading which is also known as automated trading has changed the way I trade and invest dramatically. As you know trading is extremely difficult to be consistently profitable in. The #1 reason individuals fail is because they struggle with their emotions and end up trading with the general market sentiment. While the herd mentality/feeling can and most of the time feels like the proper (logical) way to look at the market, trading with the “herd mentality†is the silent killer.
I am going to teach you how to read market sentiment so you can swing trade and profit consistently from emotional traders to earn 1% – 3% per month trading the SP500 index. If you want to make money, you need to trade against the herd (masses) at key support and resistance levels in the market. Plus you should have a robot (algorithmic trading system) execute these trades for you. Because, you need to completely remove your emotions from the game, and because it’s not rocket science to identify key levels where you should be entering and exiting the market with your money.
You start by looking at the market completely backwards. Focus on buying positions during heavy volume sell-offs (panic) and sell your positions during heavy volume rallies (greed). This was a very tough transition for me and I still get nervous and emotional during these times when my system enters and exits positions. This strategy feels completely wrong at the beginning but the profits speak for themselves!
One Of My Algorithmic Trading Strategies
This trading strategy is my favorite because I know the masses are panicking out of positions, sweating, and having heart burn, while my automated trading system is entering a high probability position against them. This analysis may seem basic at first glance, and that is because it is, but when you combine the analysis of each indicator explained below, you end up with a highly effective trading strategy. I took things on step further and converted into an automated trading strategy. This is one of nine automated trading strategies I use.
