My “Strategy Factory” Can Help You Avoid This!

I compare creating trading strategies to manufacturing a product in a factory.  In any kind of factory, raw material comes in one door, various machines and people transform the material inside the facility, and the finished product goes out the exit door.  The same idea applies to trading strategies.  Trading ideas come in one door, you (and your trading tools and software) evaluate the idea, improve it, assemble it, polish it, etc. in the factory, and then a finished strategy exits the factory, ready to trade.

Creating strategies is NOT easy work, but doing it yourself – designing and developing strategies the right way – is MUCH, MUCH better than buying strategies from unscrupulous vendors, or subscribing to signals.  Why?

• No strategy lasts forever.  Don’t believe me?  Just ask stock market “buy and hold” advocates about that strategy.  It worked great, until 2008-9 when the market gave back 25+ years of gains.
• No matter what strategy you use to trade, your best bet is to assume it will stop working, and plan accordingly.  Having new strategies waiting to be traded is the best way to survive the trading game.
• Another reason to have multiple strategies is diversification.  Diversification is key.  If you trade one strategy, you are at mercy of that strategy.  If it starts doing poorly, as all strategies do, you are in trouble.
• If you add one or more uncorrelated strategies to your portfolio, your equity curve will get smoother, and drawdowns typically will decrease.  Having a strategy factory allows you to develop, implement and trade multiple, uncorrelated strategies.
• Finally, as your account grows, you’ll want to trade more strategies.  With larger accounts, you might run into trade size issues.  Having more trading strategies, developed with a Strategy Factory, will allow you to add new strategies, diversify your portfolio and keep your size manageable as your equity grows.

How Does the Strategy Factory Workshop Work?

First, a week before the all day workshop, you can have a 15 minute online meeting with me, one on one (or you can save it for later).  I want to understand your experience, your likes and dislikes, and your learning style to help me present the right info to you during the class.  Remember, there are limited new students in each workshop, so you’ll end up feeling like I am talking to you, and you alone!

During the class, over the course of 8 hours, you’ll learn:

• How To Find Trading Ideas
• How To Properly Test a Strategy
• How To Evaluate – 10+ Ways to Evaluate a Trading System
• How To Build a Strategy
• Why Goals and Objectives Are CRITICAL to Your Success
• How To Test the Wrong Way
• Why You Need a Strategy Factory
• How to Select a Trading Software Package
• How To Recognize Testing Pitfalls
• How To Avoid 9 Terrible Mistakes I’ve Made in Trading
• Why You Won’t Get Burned Again By Snake Oil Vendors
• How To Separate Trading Fiction From Trading Fact
• Who to Believe in Trading, and Who Not to Believe – And Why
• How to Look at an Equity Chart And Tell if it is Fake
• How To Test – 4 Ways of Testing a Strategy
• Why Monte Carlo Testing Can Rescue Your Trading
• How Incubation Helps Make You a Professional Trader  

Here is what the workshop day will look like:

• Session 1:  Overview of Process, Discuss the Foundation of the Strategy Factory
• Session 2:  Discuss Details of the Strategy Factory​
• Session 3:  In-Depth Strategy Factory Walk Through, Develop Strategy #1
• Session 4:  Developing Strategy #2,  Reveal Strategies #3- #7, Wrap Up
