Synopsis

"The key is how to adapt existing codes to the current market conditions, how to build a portfolio and how to know when the moment has come to stop one system and start another one."
Every day there are traders who make a fortune. It may seem that it seldom happens, but it does - as William Eckhardt, Ed Seykota, Jim Simons, and many others remind us. You can join them by using systems to manage your trading.
This book explains exactly how you can build a winning trading system. It is an insight into what a trader should know and do in order to achieve success in the markets, and it will show you why you don't need to be a rocket scientist to build a winning trading system.
There are three main parts to Trading Systems. Part One is a short, practical guide to trading systems' development and evaluation. It condenses the authors' years of experience into a number of practical tips. It also forms the theoretical basis for Part Two, in which readers will find a step-by-step development process for building a trading system, covering everything from initial code writing to walk forward analysis and money management. Part Three shows you how to combine a number of trading systems, for all the different markets, into an effective portfolio of systems.
A trader can never really say he was successful, but only that he survived to trade another day; the "black swan" is always just around the corner. Trading Systems will help you find your way through the uncharted waters of systematic trading and show you what it takes to be among those that survive. A new approach to system development.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Every day the sun rises on the horizon there are some traders who make a fortune. It seldom happens but it does happen, as the names of William Eckhardt, Ed Seykota, Jim Simons, and many others remind us. And you can be one of them.

'Trading Systems' is an insight into what a trader should know and do in order to achieve success on the markets. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to build a winning trading system.

Divided into three parts, this book highlights exactly how you can build that system. Part One is a short practical guide to trading systems' development and evaluation, forming the theoretical basis for Part Two. It condenses the authors' years of experience in a number of practical tips.

A step-by-step development process covering everything from the initial code writing up to walk forward analysis and money management makes up Part Two; a combination of Emilio Tomasini's experience and Urban Jaekle's practical application of trading systems and evaluation.

Part Three shows you how to put systems for all different markets together in the most effective way.

A trader can never say he achieved success but only that he survived: the black swan is always around the corner. 'Trading Systems' will help you find your way among the unchartered waters of systematic trading and show you what it takes to be the one that survives.
