The basic appeal of mechanical trading systems is their promise to release us from stresses of decision-making. But probably they actually can make it, can’t they? And if so why do so many traders spend years for various systems, and can’t get the main aim? Certainly, desire to lower stress is natural, and not many trades create the big levels of stress, than trading. So that we should not be surprised, when we hear about the trading systems sold for $5,000 or more.
Often in such announcements is done the emphasis on profitableness of specific trading system – usually it is the program, which, obtaining the market data in real time, generates purchase and sale signals.
But look, are there a lot of traders we know, who use such systems and have grown rich very fast? We hear more often about traders, who have tried the numerous automated systems, only to reach rather mediocre results. However there is also such who very works not bad with the mechanical approach, and you would like to ask, why is it so? Perhaps, it is such type of traders who would make success anyhow, and without mechanical system. Most likely, yes. But one quality is inherent in all of them – they use the regular approach to trading. Their methods and decisions are mortgaged in rigid discipline, which allows them to operate in a wide variety of circumstances. This quality is acquired by skill though many traders wrongly believe that it is easy to acquire necessary skills. Actually, cast-iron discipline achievement – process endless as the market will always vary and check us on durability with different and sometimes unexpected sides.
Having armed with discipline and reliable trading system, however, we can distribute on categories and draw a card of these inevitable checks in such a manner that they will seem us already familiar, even when we face them for the first time. When we for a full due stand on an anchor, we can try to comprehend chaotic by sight whirlwinds and waves round us. The mechanical trading system can help us not only objectively observe market activity, but also to measure and arrange our reactions to it. Therefore it is unimportant, what trading system to use. It is important to live with system long enough that you could understand and experience fundamental rhythms of the market. For example, attentively observing interaction, say, two various lines of a trend for the long period of time, their nobility like lines of your palm – their nobility is enough, that is profitable to maintain them. But trading systems do not offer an easy avenue to wealth. Only the patience and diligence can make their advantageous. Be strong and you will reach your aim in the nearest future.
