Effective ETF Trading System Hints For Beginners
As you get going in ETF trading you are going to find that there are a lot of strategies, systems, and methods. The method, strategy or system that is best, will be the one that works for you. An ETF trading system may be very effective for one person, but not for another. The effective trading system will be one that matches your personal style, your skills, and your ETF goals. To find that system you will need to work through a few to find the one that is the best fit for you.
The challenge of finding the best trading system is in researching and learning how to identify systems that are worth trying. There are many websites that offer training and books about an effective system that will work. However, in reality the best websites will offer training, books, information, forums, and chat groups on all the strategies, methods, and systems. You will be able to learn from successful traders who have already tried various systems and can tell you why they were not effective.
Most successful ETF traders agree on two things. The learning curve for ETF trading is about two years. And, if you get through the first year with a 0% loss you've had a really good first year. With that in mind, setting realistic goals for the first two years will help to keep you grounded and out of hot water with trading. Creating a safety net that allows you to try different systems and strategies without suffering losses is a great way to learn the intricacies of ETF trading.
Setting a stop-loss and committing to it will provide a level of safety when trading with a new system. The ETF moves in 15 second intervals during the trading day. A lot can happen very fast. A person who is trying to figure out a new system, and monitor a sector at the same time can miss opportunities to move at the most opportune time.
Setting buy and sell points and/or setting "take profit" prices will also give you an added level of safety. Having a safety net in place will be of tremendous assistance when a person is first learning the intricacies of ETF trading and still trying on strategies, methods, and systems. A safety net acts as a life vest. Until you feel like you can dive in and swim in the deep end of the pool, keep a safety vest on. Even a little vest will add some level of protection and keep you from drowning.
Starting to trade in sectors that have clear trends and trend lines to track will be easier than the more complex sectors. Trading in at least two separate sectors is also a good idea. Somewhere in your research of ETF trading systems you will find the actual formula for the system. This formula will show how the system is set up, how it works, and it's risk. There may be some systems that have a low risk, but I haven't seen any, so try to stick with systems that have a medium low to medium risk.
Any system that involves trend following will be a great way to learn the structure and inner workings of ETF trading. Using a system such as the ETFA System is a great way to start out. The ETFA System is used for XLE, RTH, SPY (Long only), XLF, and TLT. ETFA stands for Exponential Moving Average. It works based on the fast and slow EMA of sectors.
Tracking a system to see how effective it is will be a huge help when learning systems and strategies. By tracking before trading a person can develop the knowledge and confidence they need to make effective trades proactively. Another advantage of tracking before trading is that a person can track several systems on the same sector at the same time and see the effectiveness of each system for easy comparison. - 23226
