Backtesting is checking how your trading plan has performed in the past. It can be useful to gain probabilities of % success over the historical period tested, as this may be an indication of how the trading plan could perform in the future. Trading plans may last for a time, but not forever. One of the key values in backtesting is statistics such as ’maximum number of stopouts in a row’ and the like, as this helps build rules for clearly defining when a trading plan is no longer useful. |

Using our unique shorthand method we answer the questions, What is the best sized profit and stop? Is scaling out for a given trading plan really a good idea? Should I wait for price to pull back so I can get a better entry? The market’s ability to reflect true value from know information, gives us an insight into just how finely tuned the market is. When we place a trade, we are effectively saying we have found an element of the market that is not finely tuned just now, and we are trading it back to true value. |

A common trading approach is to work hard on finding one trading plan that works. The idea being that the trading plan will have more winners than losers and so after a number of trades, the notion of probabilities may grow the trading account. However to survive as a trader you need to be smarter than this. We layer successful trading plan on top of successful trading plan, so while each trading plan has probabilities on its side, the many layers of trading plans as a collective have the probabilities of success on their side. |

After attending our annual SWAP event we ask :
1) Are you 100% satisfied with the coaching? 2) Are you now empowered with all you need to know to be a successful trader if not one already? 3) Are you on track and applying your new found knowledge in an organised and methodical way?
We are proud to say so far the answer has been 98% YES to all three questions. Only 1 in every 50 clients is a grumpy one, that’s pretty good stats. |

Located in Queensland, Australia. We consider ourselves the Rolls-Royce of the trading education industry. Automated trading is still in it’s baby stage, it’s only 10 years old as a mainstream style of trading. We were first in Australia to teach Automated trading in the depth and style we’ve become well know for. Traders consider us unique and niche in content. In 2012 we will be organising full time contract work for our best clients… so what started as, them joining us as clients, has turned full circle and now they will be paid to work on trading system designs full time. Paid to do what you love. Nice. |

About |
|
Our Brand |
|
Our training is designed to take someone who knows nothing about trading, and bring them up to speed on our learning journey. A new trader will start watching videos on what we were working on 3 years ago, and watch through the progress right up to videos on what we do today. This structured learning path saves a new trader years of trial and error looking at things that do and don't work because they can just trace our steps and see what we’ve proved over the years. We have a very special community of quality traders who trust and respect each other and have become life long friends. We are very proud of our brand and our people. |
