What is an automated trading system?

Automated trading systems permit traders to set specific inputs they may find useful for both trade entries and trade exits. Then a computer can automatically execute these inputs whenever they are true in the markets. Trade entry and exit regulations can be based on some known trading conditions, like a moving average crossover, or they can be based on complicated tactics that demand a complete understanding of a programming language or data science which is particular to the user’s trading platform.

It is usually observed that individuals who get involved in trading do not really have many ideas about the trading process. Obviously, this is a contributing factor as to why many traders fail. This is also a reason why automated trading software like Build Alpha is so popular – because it can help. If you want to start trading, all that you need is a computer with an internet connection. In fact, there is no need for a big investment to get started either.

How does automated trading software work?

Usually, automated trading software needs the application of the software that is allied to a direct access broker and any particular norms require to be written in that platform’s proprietary language. Individuals can input the type of order and specifically when the trade will be elicited, or they can utilize the platform’s default inputs.

As soon as the norms have been set, the machine can then monitor the markets in order to execute buys and sells based on the trading tactic and it can then be considered auto trading. Once a trade is entered – depending on the particular conditions – orders for defensive stop losses, and also earning targets will be entered. Furthermore, in fast-moving markets, this instantaneous order entry can mean the difference between little loss, and a devastating loss, in the event that a trade moves against the trader.

What if you do not know how to set up the platform or use the platform’s proprietary language to write the code? Build Alpha can help. Build Alpha can automatically generate full trading code for any strategy it develops at the click of a button.

Wrapping Up

Automated trading software like Build Alpha let traders, even novice traders, set their trading limits before they start, research their ideas, which can help make sure their trades stay on track to reaching their trading goals. On the other hand, manual trading can raise the risk that they will become emotionally invested in trade and might not make good trading decisions when up against adverse price movements. Automated trading can help keep traders objective and focused on the system, not the individual trade.

This automated software, BuildAlpha, is created to help professional brokers, wealth managers, private traders, and institutional investors in order to create innumerable unique strategies to meet their own risk criterion across asset classes, stress tests them and ultimately generate code for them so they can be automated and followed for success.

Noise Test

First, let’s talk about overfitting and what it is. I will simply define it as fitting a function or model to data so well that the function or model is not generalizable and cannot/will not work on another data set. In trading terms, it is designing a strategy that trades historical data so well that it will surely fail on new data . Build Alpha :  The first and most obvious test to prevent curve fitting is out of sample testing. In other posts I’ve described this, but in short, it is simply withholding a portion of your data to “validate” the strategy. For example, you have 10 years worth of data and you designate the first or last 30% to be out of sample. You build your model on the remaining seven years of data and then validate it on the withheld 30% or out of sample data. However, and for various reasons, this might not be enough to prevent against curve fitting. There are two parts to the underlying data: the signal and the noise. It is often said that when something i...

Downloading Custom Data for Build Alpha using Python

Happy Friday! For this Free Friday edition, I am going to do something new. I am going to make this slightly educational and give away some code. I get tons of questions every week, but they mainly fall into two categories. The first question is in regards to adding custom data to Build Alpha . You can add intraday data, weekly data, custom bar type data, sentiment data, or even simple single stock data. The second question is in regards to using or learning Python. In this post, I will attempt to “kill two birds with one stone” and show a simple Python code to download stock data from the Yahoo Finance API. In fact, we will use Python to pull and save data ready formatted for Build Alpha for all 30 Dow stocks in less than 30 seconds. You can view the entire script later in this code or in the video below. The first few lines are simple to import statements pulling public code that we can reuse including the popular pandas library. import pandas ...
