Adding a system becomes too much depends on you, your routine, capacity, and various other things. For adding a new system, you must execute your current system smoothly, mistake-free, with confidence, and without stress. If you're feeling stressed and anxious about the level of activity that you have to do each day, and you add another system that adds more activity on the same days, this is...
There are a couple of considerations. There was a horror story around 12 or 15 years ago in Australia, where a toll road was listed as a partly paid security, and buying that security came with the obligation to contribute additional capital in two extra tranches at defined points in time. What happened was that toll road was going bust, and the share price dropped to the minimum share price...
As a trader, the temptation to do something is very high. But there's something to resist because the money is not made by trading, but by sitting and doing nothing. That's important because once you're in a trade, you've got to wait. It's only by waiting until you get the exit signal that you'll make money. When you're not in a trade, you've got to wait until you get the right entry signal to...
To pull the trigger and take your new system, certain things have to be in place. First is understanding the rules of my system completely, to be consistent with the paper trading process to know I'm doing the right thing every day, not fumbling, and not making mistakes. Moreover, I also need to be confident that I am doing my position sizing correctly so I don't make a mistake and buy too much...

It depends on the trading system and the markets that you are trading. The primary principle is to have a level of slippage and commissions in your backtest that represent what you would get in real life. So if you had a system that traded Australian small-cap minors and they were stocks that were all under 5-10 cents which were turning over a couple hundred thousand dollars a day on average....
You've got to trade carefully when the system tells you to trade. When trading systematically, we follow the rules, so we're not saying, "I'm holding ETH, but now I want to hold ADA. So I convert my ETH to ADA." And, "I'm holding ADA, now I want to hold Solana so I convert my ADA to Solana." In that case, you convert what you want to convert. You will have wide spreads, lots of strange fees...

Let's dig in and look at some common myths and why they are just WRONG!1. “Stock trading is only for the rich”Not true!

In Amibroker when you backtest your trading system, one of the most important performance statistics to evaluate is the maximum historical drawdown.

Trading is the biggest lesson in patience that you'll have even more than kids. The market doesn't give us the profits when we want them. The market provides us with the profits when the market gives us the profits. The market doesn't care whether we've had several losses in a row and want to win. Or whether we've been winning and want to keep winning. So we have to follow the process of trading...
Before you started trading systematically, you had some open trades for whatever reason you had. Should you close those trades now that you're going to trade systematically so you can follow the rules? You don't have to close it. If you had an informed and educated reason or plan for that trade, you could leave it there and follow that plan. But if the trade was placed because of the hype or...
