Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background
The TTW PROGRAM (The Trade Within) uses one main algorithm in several markets as well as using few different time frames in the same market with the objective looking for an intraday trend. Once the algorithm identifies a possible trade, the system generates automated orders and employs another algorithm, this time to enter the market at the best price possible. Once in a trade the system triggers correlated targets, stops and trailing stops if certain profit is achieved. The program will usually look for ONE TRADE ONLY in several markets each day in order to have diversification between market segments. The program relies on automatic, software execution in order to make trading more mechanical rather than emotional. The advisor also monitors fundamental data such as economic reports and schedules government data that may affect existing and potential trades. Currently the advisor is planning to trade liquid markets that offer volatility and volume for daytrading such as Mini SP500, Gold futures, mini NASDAQ, US Treasury bond futures, Mini Dow, Crude Oil futures, silver, natural gas, copper, sugar, coffee, beans and wheat and other liquid US futures contracts. The advisor implies his own set of rules as far as profit/loss levels, maximum number of markets he can be at in any given time and appropriate risk/reward per trade.
