Good morning traders. No doubt you will see that we have been pretty busy the last several months at Trade Ideas. The website has been completely redesigned as well as our Youtube page. Now that all of our design efforts have borne fruit we are ready once again to show you automated trading in action. The same style of trading that has been making money for over a year continues to work. We are using the automated trading robot to primarily trade the first 15 to 20 minutes of the open. In the maiden voyage we are running two mean reversion strategies. We are looking for overextended moves on both sides, long and short, at the same time. As we start, we are trading a very small lot size to minimize risk. In the video you are seeing we are trading 50 share lots. While the exact details of this strategy are proprietary the nature is fairly simple. Catch the stocks that are statistically out of balance and look for a retracement. Tight stops allow us not to worry if something continues to run. As you can see from the video we also add a little grey box trading by taking some profits early. This is part of discretionary trading and just because one has the capability for complete automation does not mean that the trader can just go away and play golf. We are always there watching to see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted and or exploited further. We will continue to post more strategies and show how automation combined with trader skills can greatly improve one’s trading results
