A Method For Gaining Trading Confidence

  1. Study market by tape reading, chart, replay, etc and identify patterns, tendencies, etc.

  2. Systematize the patterns/setups/etc. Quantify at least part of the methodology but recognize that parts may be difficult to quantify– write those parts down.

  3. Refine the setups through backtesting and development.

  4. Program the strategies into a graybox which supports ability to interact with the system. Hint: Use BeyondBot to save yourself weeks of effort or thousands in custom programming.

  5. Rehearse the setups through market replay using BeyondBot

  6. Go live with e-micros with minimal risk

  7. Increase size as you do well

  8. Go back to step 1 and build & deploy more BeyondBots. Look to generalize or specialize to build more strategies.
