Day Trading Solutions

In Part 2, of Designing a Trading System in MetaStock I covered how to code the first two of the four major components of a mechanical entry system. I had explained the coding of price and liquidity. In this article, I will cover the steps for coding the remaining two components, trend and volatility, into MetaStock. In the end, you will have the complete codes for a mechanical entry system.

Stock Option Trading Let`s begin with trend identification. Remember, `the trend is your friend` when trading. You always want to trade with the trend, not against it. Think of it this way, if you were swimming in the sea, and got yourself caught in a rip tide, is it easier to swim with the current or against it? It is the same with trading with a trend.

Currency Day Trading There are many ways to identify trends, and it`s not particularly important which method you use. You just need to use one. One of my preferred methods for identifying trending stocks is to find stocks that are trading at their current highs. You can do this by stipulating that the highest high price must have been achieved in the last `x` number of days.

Chicago, IL – June 25th, 2007 – Rockwell Trading Inc. (www.rockwelltrading.com), a leading provider of trading tools, software, and educational resources, announced the expansion of its global sales operation to Aachen, Germany today. The addition of a German distributor is part of Rockwell Trading's strategic growth initiative, which will enable the company to provide its services and trading solutions to the European market.

Financial Software Trading Once again, the variables you use will depend on the time frame you are trading. But for this example, you want the highest high price in the last 240 days to have occurred in the last 20 days.

In just four months since it became an operating company, Bentley Commerce Corp. ( BLYC) based barter and trade. Part of its success can be attributed to attracting trading partners, several who were never before involved in the barter industry, that offer high demand products and services on barter to the tens of thousands of companies that trade through the growing number of exchanges that are part of Bentley's Global Trade Alliance.

Online Stock Trading Company Using the formula reference section in the MetaStock Programming Study Guide, you can find the syntax of the highest high function, and then plug in the details. Then, using the `less than` symbol, you can specify the number of days must be less than 20. In MetaStock language that would be:

As CEO at Rockwell Trading, Inc., Markus has taught hundreds of investors how to make consistent profits in the U.S. and European markets. Markus started trading 19 years ago, using point and figure charts from published numbers in the morning newspaper, mainly with stocks. In 1996, he began developing a number of trading systems by using SuperCharts (which is now TradeStation), MetaStock, OmniTrader and other software.

Financial In Market The final component to our entry system is the volatility measure. The aim of including this formula is to identify stocks that move enough for us to make a profit, yet aren`t so erratic that they keep you up at night. There are a few ways to measure volatility. However, my favourite is the ATR method. The ATR indicates how much a stock will move, on average, over a certain period.

Stock Trading System For example, a one-dollar stock might move five cents on average over the last 20 days. You can divide this value by the price of the stock and you will have the average percentage movement of a stock. With these values, you can stipulate a minimum and maximum daily volatility value.

Day Trading Stock Tip For example: You may want the ATR, divided by the average closing price, over the last 21 days, to be greater than 1.5%. Therefore, the average minimum volatility must be greater than 1.5%.

Financial Forex Forex Software Additionally, you may want the ATR divided by the closing price, over the last 21 days, to be less than 6%. This sets the average maximum volatility at less than 6%. In MetaStock language that would be:

Stock Market Trading ATR(21)/Mov(C,21,S)*100> 1.5 and
ATR(21)/Mov(C,21,S)*100 < 6

Day Lesson Stock Tip Trading Putting all our code together, you see what your entry system looks like:

Financial System Trading C>1 and
Mov(v,21,s)*C> 200000 and
HHVBars(H,240) < 20 and
ATR(21)/Mov(C,21,S)*100> 1.5 and
ATR(21)/Mov(C,21,S)*100 < 6

Day Trading Future You now have now a workable entry system. Not only did you construct a robust system, but it also adheres to the KISS principal (Keep It Simple Simon). This system can be cut and pasted into the Explorer within MetaStock. However, the entry is only the beginning of a successful trading system. In later parts of this series, you`ll find the rest of the components that you need to design a profitable trading system.
