7 I ve been Swing Trading for over 17 years now, and in the last 6 years I ve been learning, researching, experimenting & working with top algorithmic, quant based traders looking for a way to swing trade mechanically that would enable me to make good annual returns in less than 30 minutes a day after the market closes. Trading Concepts, Inc. 7

8 With the entire universe of Stocks and ETFs out there I needed to come up with a mechanical way to find the best of the best, the cream of the crop trades based on objective rules that are setting up for the next trading day. Trading Concepts, Inc. 8

9 Within the last 3 years I found what I was looking for I use Algorithmic Systems with an EDGE that puts the odds of success in my favor They were built to be simple and consistent They were developed by me and a professional quant based trader/researcher Every system data point and trade management rule has been meticulously considered and refined Use no leverage It takes less than 30 minutes each night after the market closes I let the market come to me and enter trades with Limit Orders Exits are based on an indicator and not a fixed number nor percentage These systems use a formula to determine position sizing Again, this takes me NO MORE THAN 30 MINUTES A DAY, there is NO DISCRETION ON MY PART, and ALL of my work is done AFTER the CLOSE. Trading Concepts, Inc. 9

10 So, what is a good reasonable return? Let s quickly take a look at Warren Buffett Between 1957 and 1969, Warren Buffett s hedge fund returned 23.8% after expenses vs. 7.4% for the DJIA before he decided to close up his fund because he thought the market was top heavy. He was only making money when the market was going up he didn t even think about strategies that could make money when the market went down! Buffett came back into the market in late 1973 thinking the market was ready for a big advance again. From 1973 to late 1982 he averaged roughly 28% a year. After 1983, Buffett managed to beat the market by more than 10% annually. Since 2000, Warren Buffett managed to beat the market by 6 percentage points annually. These types of returns, consistently, is what creates multi-millionaires, if not billionaires, over a long period of time. Trading Concepts, Inc. 10

11 The Algorithmic Trading Systems I personally use are based on the premise of everything you re going to learn here today! Trading Concepts, Inc. 11

12 What is a Trading Algorithm? Algorithm: a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations. This includes all computer programs, even programs that do not perform numeric calculations. It is a set of instructions used to accomplish a given task. Trading Concepts, Inc. 12

13 A Trading Algorithm is just a computerized model that incorporates the rules you would follow when entering or exiting a trade. Trading Concepts, Inc. 13

14 Swing Trading Swing Trading is the art of profiting from short term price movement spanning a few days to a few weeks looking to take just a portion of the move. Swing Traders are rarely invested 100% and would rather carefully select the perfect setup to enter and exit positions. Trading Concepts, Inc. 14

15 Swing Trading enables you to allocate your money into several trades a day to take advantage of current opportunities in the market (different sectors & asset classes) without tying up all of your capital or time in front of a computer. Trading Concepts, Inc. 15

16 All of my trades are placed the night before, or before market opens, each trading day and typically last no more than 4 days. Trading Concepts, Inc. 16

17 The Algorithmic Swing Trading Systems I use are based on the Mean Reversion principle Mean Reversion is the assumption that a stock's price will tend to move to the average price over time. When the price has deviated significantly from the mean, a trade is taken with the expectation that the price will revert to the mean. So, we will be buying low and selling higher. In other words, buy when prices are unusually low, with the expectation that they will return to more normal values. Trading Concepts, Inc. 17

20 Why YOU need to consider using an Algorithmic Swing Trading System in your overall trading plan Any work to be done is after the close; less than 30 minutes a day, Scan entire market catch moves in various sectors & asset classes, Once your system is coded up all you have to do is press a button to find the trades, There is NO discretion involved whatsoever, and If you re a more active trader that s fine, continue to doing that this works in the background and there is nothing to do during the trading day. Trading Concepts, Inc. 20

21 9 Additional Reasons Why YOU need to use Algorithmic Swing Trading Systems in your overall trading plan: 1) Free yourself from the stress of trading 2) We know the expected returns 3) We can be lazy 4) We know our worst enemy can be ourselves 5) Lack of discipline, skills and or time 6) To provide or catch more opportunities 7) To have exact money management / position management rules 8) To have exact entry & exit rules 9) No subjectivity keep it 100% objective! Trading Concepts, Inc. 21

22 Look, many of the most successful hedge funds & money managers utilize some type of algorithmic trading systems in their overall strategy portfolios... So, why shouldn t YOU too? Trading Concepts, Inc. 22

23 You may think that only the smartest people from the best Universities get these jobs the general public is also lead to believe that only Wall Street Insiders know these secrets Trading Concepts, Inc. 23

24 I m here to tell you this is not the case! I m going to teach you the foundational principles that go into building successful algorithmic trading systems that are able to generate fantastic annual compound returns, spending less than 30 minutes a day, that creates wealth over time. Trading Concepts, Inc. 24

25 One thing I want you to take away from this: There are no superior gods on Wall Street you have to believe you re as smart, if not smarter than 95% of the professionals who work on Wall Street. Bottom Line: YOU have to TRUST & BELIEVE in YOURSELF! I m going to prove to you here that you can do as well, if not beat most hedge funds by doing it yourself. Trading Concepts, Inc. 25

26 ALRIGHT what I now want to do is show you the basic foundation & key principles it takes to create short-term algorithmic swing trading systems used to achieve long term trading success Trading Concepts, Inc. 26

27 Facts of Short-Term Market Behavior The markets (stocks) have a long-term upward bias. People tend to overreact to negative news and drive stock or ETF prices down too far: Buying pullbacks has a quantifiable edge. Buying on further intraday weakness increases the edge. After stock prices have been driven down, institutional money comes in to buy value. This provides support and the stock price moves up over a period of a few days. Trading Concepts, Inc. 27

40 Dynamic Exits When a certain indicator hits a predetermined level (i.e. when the RSI(2) closes above 70) as opposed to a set percentage, a pre-determined static price level, or a set number of days. I use Dynamic Exits for my algorithmic mean reversion swing trading strategies only I don t use them when day trading. Trading Concepts, Inc. 40

41 Obviously different exits will give widely different test results so it s important to back-test your exits to see which ones are most beneficial. 41
