A systematic trading approach: 1 year, over 1000 trades, and nearly a 300% return…….

May 11, 2018 by The Stop Hunter 2 Comments

A systematic approach to trading

The FinTech arm of our business started in mid 2016, built on the foundations of many years of experience working for banks, brokers and trading houses. We take on many different assignments in this space: We design, test and build systematic trading systems and analytical tools. After initially coming up with an idea for a technical analysis based trading system, testing it on a couple of assets and getting amazing backtest results toward the end of 2016, we decided to do something a bit different and create an all encompassing systematic trading approach that we could trade for ourselves using our own money, and truly put our ideas to the test!

We decided from the outset, that once live, we’d run it for one whole year and then publish what we found. This article outlines our year of trading the system, the background to it, issues and problems we faced and most importantly, the end financial result (which is sort of given away in the title!)

Technical Analysis (Part 25) – Putting it all together: Improving your results

November 16, 2017 by The Stop Hunter Leave a Comment

We’ve finally come to the last article in our 25 part technical analysis series. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and found it beneficial? In the previous article, we looked at applying technical analysis to Risk & Trade management. There is still though another great, not so obvious, use for technical analysis that we need to look at before wrapping up this series. Another part of the trading and investing jigsaw to piece together! I hope by now, you’re starting to see that technical analysis is not a one dimensional tool. Applying and using the basic inputs to your technical analysis in a simple quantitative/qualitative process, can go a long way to improving your results. [Read more…]

Technical Analysis (Part 24) – Putting it all together: Risk & Trade Management

October 5, 2017 by The Stop Hunter Leave a Comment

Successful trading is about helping yourself and putting the ‘odds’ on your side. In part 23 we looked at strategy, design and implementation. This week, we’re going to take a brief look at an often forgotten and overlooked use of technical analysis: Risk & Trade Management. If you are a raw fundamentalist, or don’t want to use technical analysis to make trading execution decisions, that’s fine, but I think you’re being foolish if you don’t consider using technical analysis to improve your risk & trade management processes.

Mastering the Mindset of a Trader presentation – London 21/09/17

September 26, 2017 by The Stop Hunter Leave a Comment

Last Thursday, September 21, I was invited by FxPro as the guest speaker to give a 2 hour presentation on ‘Mastering the Mindset of a Trader’ at their London HQ offices.

The event was well turned out and a great success. The session was very interactive, with questions bringing up some very interesting topics. Apart from a few ‘mind games’ played with the audience to test their psychological metal, the evening covered off areas such as:

  • Understanding the Psychology of the markets
  • Destructive Trading
  • Trade management
  • A mindset for success
  • Psychological discipline & consistency
  • Becoming a better trader

The evening finished with a Q&A session, networking and some refreshments.

I’m looking forward to giving the same presentation in Birmingham on October the 19th. (Please check the FxPro website for more details as and when they become available)

If you’d like to learn more about the presentation, or if you’d like us to put together a tailored session for you or your clients please contact us here at THE STOP HUNTER by email: [email protected] or give us a call on 01227 811731.

Technical Analysis (Part 23) – Putting it all together: strategy, design & implementation

September 20, 2017 by The Stop Hunter Leave a Comment

We are going to round off our introductory technical analysis series, in the last three articles, by putting together what we’ve learnt so far. It’s fine having all this new knowledge, but how do you use it in the real world? Technical analysis is a multi-talented tool that can be used for many things in your trading – not just direct price analysis. So this week, we are going to look at how you can use technical analysis to design, build and implement a trading strategy. In our final two articles, we will see how you can apply technical analysis in your risk and trade management and how you can use it to improve your results! [Read more…]
