Removing YOU from the Equation with Simple Automatic Trading
Simple automatic investing that makes you money is something we all dream about. Lets face it, who would not want to be making money without having to do anything?
The crazy thing is that this type of thing already exists and it’s the reason why algorithmic trading systems are becoming more popular with individuals. With more online algorithmic building services popping up each year they are making it easier for individuals to build their own simple automatic trading systems.
In Part I and Part II of this series of how I got started in systems trading and how I built a simple automatic trading system for trading my own capital which now going to be available to you (a select group of my followers) I want to continue this serious talking about how we as humans are the root of most of our bad trading habits and problems.
Understanding how and why a system is trading is important for you as it provides comfort in knowing the system complies with your line of thinking and marks logical sense in your head also.
Through my simple automatic trading system which is complete with order execution, you can free yourself from the painful grind of staring at a computer screen and struggling with yourself to follow system rules and execute trades according to plan. Do not get me wrong, the creator of the automatic trading system must always be monitoring the system, maintaining and updating the code when required. But end users of this simple automatic trading strategy can simply set-up their trading account, link it with the automated trading system and walk away without ever having to learn or do anything else.
How My Simple Automatic Trading System Works
Keeping things short and to the point, my system is based around the S&P 500 index. You can opt to trade either the 3x leveraged ETFs (UPRO & SPXU) or trade the original automated trading strategy using the ES mini futures contract.
Both trade virtually the same but can vary at times. Because ETF’s have the tendency to fluctuate a little more than the underlying index. It can lead to an extra trade or missed opportunity from time to time. The real difference is in the performance. The ETF’s use 3x leverage while the futures contracts are using more likes 10x leverage. You definitely get a better bang for your buck with futures, but it cuts both ways…
Why Automatic Trading and Why Trade the S&P 500 Index?
Automatic trading may sound risky and crazy and it can be depending on how active the system is, the creator, the programmers experience and what platform the system is run on (server, charting program etc..) but in reality it’s just a set of trading rules which you create, test, approve and trade via computer.
If you have common sense, a solid logical strategy, and a top notch programmer you should eventually be able to create your own profitable automatic investing system. Also if you trade more than one investment then you know how easy it is miss a trade because you were watching another chart or responding to emails or living life… Well automated trading systems make it so you do not miss another trade again.
The S&P 500 index I think carries the least amount of volatility and is diversified with the top 500 global corporations. Also it is the most liquid investing vehicle available for the stock market which keeps slippage to a minimum for optimum order fills.
Simple Automatic Trading – It Takes Money to Make Money – Ante Up!
We all know the saying “It Takes Money To Make Money” and it could not be more true. Unfortunately most traders fall victim to all the false advertising in this industry thinking they can make $87,523 in one trade with only $5,000 etc… marketing tactics…
There are several things an individual must have in place to make money in the market and a properly funded trading account with enough money to properly manage positions is one of the most important things. But again most people are trading with accounts of $500 – $10,000 in size which is not enough to make any real money. Sure it’s fun trading and dabble with a little money, but do not expect make much.
The financial markets are a numbers game in almost every way, shape and form. If you truly understand how the market moves, probabilities and percentages then you know the more money you have the more likely you are to succeed with a winning strategy. Even if one is given a winning strategy but their account is underfunded that individual will struggle to make money.
There are fixed fees with trading and just to overcome them with profits requires more capital than $10,000 in most cases.
The general rule I think is to trade with a minimum of $35,000 which is just enough for you to trade a position size that can generate gains while allowing you to scale in and out of the market at key turning points.
Knowing how much money is required to trade and manage my ETF and futures automatic trading system is important and I will show you some conservative numbers of what to expect each month on average in the another report later this month.
Make $1,000 to $2400 Each Month with a Simple Automatic Trading System
Since creation of the strategy in March 2007 when I started tracking and trading this strategy (now my automated trading system) it has posted some very exciting returns. It shows to be averaging $2400 a month and this is trading only a $35,000 account and never trading more than $15,000 per trade (3 emini contracts). The results have been truly amazing!

help others, and do whatever you want.
