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

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!)

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…]

Technical Analysis (Part 1): History, theory and philosophy

March 30, 2017 by The Stop Hunter 1 Comment

Financial Markets

Welcome to a new Technical Analysis blog series. This series will comprise 25 introductory articles covering all aspects of technical analysis, from the very basics through to some more advanced theory. Hopefully, these articles will whet your appetite for the subject and inspire you to take up technical analysis (if you haven’t already) and use it in your trading and investing. My aim is to enhance your existing knowledge and give you an insight into how technical analysis can be used as an effective trading tool, both to make and save you money and give you new roads to follow. This is a vast, often misunderstood subject, so the aim of this blog series is to make it more accessible by breaking down a few of those boundaries.

In this first article we explore the roots of technical analysis. It is vitally important for you to understand where technical analysis has come from and the thinking behind it, if you’re ever going to successfully use it in practice. [Read more…]
