Volume 2 - stad02.pdf
The systems presented in this volume incorporate popular concepts such as the Head and Shoulders pattern, price and volume relationships, Bollinger Bands, and ADX. As in the first volume, we identify the most common problems with these types of systems and provide techniques to overcome them as well as present different ways of using them. By reviewing and testing these 10 systems, you'll be able to understand these techniques and use them, or a variation of them, in your own systems.

- Introduction
- Chapter 1: General System Development Concepts
- Adapted from book by Charlie Wright, Trading as a business - definitive book on system testing and development
- Developing your entry & exit rules
- Indicators by themselves may not work, They may only be half the puzzle, the setup part. Also needed is an entry.
- "Any indicator can be made into a profitable system"
- The magic of setup and entry
- Setup - Conditions necessary prior to considering to take a trade. Indicators used to say 'get ready to buy or sell'
- Examples of Setups for Various Kinds of Trading Systems
- Entry - Signal that causes the market to be entered

Entry rules - 1. Prices should confirm the direction indicated by the Setup before a taking a position.
- 2. The Entry should guarantee that a system will capture every price move for which it is designed.
- Examples of buy entries
- Understanding different order types
- Market orders - commonly placed for entry on open of the day, or close of the day
- OK for Rule #2, but needs extra condition to comply with entry rule #1
- Stop Close Only Orders - market has to close above selected price
- Stop Orders - market must pass through the selected price
- Limit Orders - opposite of stop orders, for the situation where prices are going in the opposite direction
- violate entry rule 1 & 2
- Market orders - commonly placed for entry on open of the day, or close of the day
- Evaluating each component
- Important to use entries and setups together
- Can also evaluate the profitability of entries separate from the setups, together they should perform better than separately
- Summary

Aim with the setup
Pull the trigger with the entry
