With both explanation and demonstration, Davey guides you step-by-step through the entire process of generating and validating an idea, setting entry and exit points, testing systems, and implementing them in live trading. You'll find concrete rules for increasing or decreasing allocation to a system, and rules for when to abandon one. The companion website includes Davey's own Monte Carlo simulator and other tools that will enable you to automate and test your own trading ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA purely discretionary approach to trading generally breaks down over the long haul. With market data and statistics easily available, traders are increasingly opting to employ an automated or algorithmic trading system--enough that algorithmic trades now account for the bulk of stock trading volume. \u003ci\u003eBuilding Algorithmic Trading Systems\u003c\/i\u003e teaches you how to develop your own systems with an eye toward market fluctuations and the impermanence of even the most effective algorithm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the systems that generated triple-digit returns in the World Cup Trading Championship\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop an algorithmic approach for any trading idea using off-the-shelf software or popular platforms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTest your new system using historical and current market data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMine market data for statistical tendencies that may form the basis of a new system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarket patterns change, and so do system results. Past performance isn't a guarantee of future success, so the key is to continually develop new systems and adjust established systems in response to evolving statistical tendencies.
