Mark Thomas-- Trade On Track

Here's another NYTime trading system update, now that we're at the end of October.

I wasn't able to grab the figures for the last day (31st) because the day hadn't been closed off yet. Apart from that though, the month has seen moderate profits of around 8.3% return.

Here's a list of the trades that were triggered, along with their returns:

There were a couple of losses at the end of September which brought our trade risk level down to zero, based on our money manag...

NYTime Results for September 2009

Posted by Mark Thomas on Friday, October 2, 2009, In : Time Based Strategy Series

This is just a quick update on our September trades using the NYTime system. You might remember that we had a few losses in a row near the start of the month, but overall there were a handful of good trades scattered throughout the month which saw us return a profit overall.

To recap on the strategy:

We use some money management rules to determine how much we'll risk. This varies between 0% and 4% (reduce by 1% each losing trade, increase by 0.5% each winning trade, jump to 2.5% if we have a w...

This is the last edition of the Time Base Strategy Series- Make sure you read all the articles by clicking here.

Having covered the entry, initial stop loss and the money management rules for our time-based forex trading strategy, it makes sense that our exit rules should be time-based too. In this article I will explain when to move the stop loss to a safer position and also when to exit the position if not stopped out beforehand.

I mentioned earlier on in this ar...

NYTime - Money Management

Here's where things get really interesting. The advanced money management rules used in the NYTime time-based forex strategy make the difference between a system that wins some of the time and a system that can keep producing consistent profits.

Most traders hear the term "Money Management" and assume it's going to be the same old "only risk 2% of your account per trade" rule. I'm not saying that's a...

The Anatomy of a Profitable Trading Strategy

Posted by Mark Thomas on Friday, August 28, 2009, In : Time Based Strategy Series

By Mark Thomas -- Trade On Track

Continuing on with our Time-based forex trading strategy, today I'm going to cover some goals that I would like the strategy to meet, as well as an overview of the components forming our trading strategy.

Many traders place too much importance on the entry signal or the "setup" for a trading strategy. A complete trading strategy is much more than just an entry signal. While the entry is important, we also need to consider factors such as money management, t...

Stop Your Losses

Posted by Mark Thomas on Wednesday, August 26, 2009, In : Time Based Strategy Series

By Mark Thomas -Trade On Track

In the last article I talked about developing time-based trading strategies and I gave you a few ideas to think about. Sometimes you just need to see or read about a different way of looking at the markets for it to trigger some inspiration, so I hope the article provided some food for thought.
