WHAT IS A TRADING SYSTEM?
A trading system are rules based on statistical principles, on which we support operations in stock market. They are conditions that have been fulfilled in the past and that are put under various test in Autrading that gives us the warranty they are robust enough so they maintain in the future. Obviously any operative in stock market is not as in fixed-income markets, reason why never its level of guarantees will be able to be reached. In return we have the possibility of greater benefits
Mainly exist two types of systems , the continuous ones that leave the positions opened at the end of the day, in order to stay in a same position while there is a tendency, and the intrady ones, that closes its position before the end of the day, taking advantage of the one day tendency. In Autrading, we only have decided to offer intrady systems , since we consider them more effective and useful in this type of investment
AUTOMATIC TRADING SYSTEM
The technological revolution of the last years, has made possible to develop platforms in which lodge the trading systems, so that these send their buy or sell orders to the market in an automatic way without supervision of an operator.
Therefore an automatic system, is a computer application, that we have developed on the basis of our system statical rules and that allow us to send orders us to the market in an automatic way, without any operator taking part. Numerous platforms exist with which to develop automatic systems and that allow us to interact with the market, they are of two types:
1-Applications type client
The user maintains the application, and he equips it with real time and broker connection in order to send the orders generated by the systems. The user must have the necessary control mechanisms so that the application does not fail if any blackout happen, cuts in the telephone lines or real time data flow... etc, since the system would stop working. This type of applications are thought for professional users with exclusive dedication. Some examples are Visual Chart and Tradestation. In Autrading we have all our systems to disposition of the clients who wish to work with these platforms and to use our trading systems.
2.- Applications Server
It is a company that maintains in its own facilities the technological platform, and it equips it with connection to market, real time data, etc, this platform will lodge our trading systems and it have all the security controls for the right operation of the platform, having different suppliers for real time data, telephone lines, independent systems of power supply etc.., that is to say, they offer total outsourcing for the management of the automatic systems. It has an only disadvantage, there's only a broker to work with (they work only with it) and therefore the user must deal with his commissions. In Autrading, we think that this is the best option and the one we suggest for all the users , and mainly to people that do not have knowledge to develop traiding systems on their own, but they want to take advantage of this type of investment, or perhaps, those people that prefer that third parts takes the management of its systems.
