Course Description

Today, most technical analysts are, to some extent or totally systematic. They have a rule-based approach to their trading or investing. How do you start the journey? Before you jump into programming, there are things you must do and sort out. In this session, Trevor covers the first steps you need to take to create a robust trading method. What are your objective and goal? What are your skills? Trend following or day-trading? Concentrate on a few securities or create a portfolio? Your idea. Your platform - basic or programming? Look out for biases and testing traps. You must do all this before you start using your development and testing platform and, of course, before you contemplate trading systematically.
