So good that it's worth mentioning the main lessons here Lesson 1: Pick a systems development platform that matches your strength. Lesson 2: If you’re a beginning trader, the slippage in equities will always be greater than you think. Lesson 3: Always trade a portfolio. Lesson 4: Correlation matters. Highly correlated markets should be traded as a single unit. Lesson 6: Risk-reward matters. Lesson 7: “Percent profitable” is an illusion. Lesson 8: Lower the leverage—it helps maintain discipline (and your mental state). Lesson 9: You will never match the system’s theoretical performance. Lesson 10: It’s not only about the computer program. It’s about the processes and procedures, your infrastructure, your own imperfections (getting sick, for example) that can make or break a profitable system. ---------------------------------------- Thanks! |
