This is the Envelopes entry for the year 2017 and we are using a risk setting of 10 to trade it in this automated video.

The entry signals are produced, whenever the close price is above the upper or below the lower band.

I consider this risk setting to be high, because you couldn’t expect a system to make a profit with such a high risk for 10 years.

And 10 years are the benchmark for my systems, so on my real account I more often use a much lower risk setting.

But that doesn’t mean, that it isn’t possible to use a higher risk. As always, the right risk setting depends on the account, the trading capital and the person in front of the screen.

This system is one of many possible solutions and I like the fact, that the draw down is not too high for 2017.

You could also fine tune the settings, but for this video I am satisfied with the results.

This is the Envelopes Entry with a risk setting of 12 and we are trading the year 2016 in this automated video.

The currency pair that is used, is the Australian against the Canadian Dollar.

With MQL5 systems it is easy to use the strategy tester to do something that is called a backtest and get results for thousands of trades in a few minutes.

So we don’t have to guess if something really works, it is possible to really measure it.

Once you have a result, you can always change one thing and rerun the test.

If you get better results, you go with the new version.

If you get worse results, you try something else.

That improves your results and your chances to make a profit with automated trading.

I don’t know any trader who could do 1753 trades in one or two minutes – actually I don’t think that discretionary traders do more than a handful of trades in a whole month.

For me that is like a navigation system with a map that contains only a handful of streets.

To get good results, you would need something with much more data.

Let’s trade the year 2015 in this automated video and we are using the Envelopes entry to do it.

From time to time the markets change and in 2015 you could go with a high risk setting of 12, like in this case.

But there are also years when you need to be much more careful. You never know, until you measure it.

It is possible to use a much lower risk setting, in that case you would also have much lower draw downs in those years.

But when it runs like on rails, you can also increase the risk setting. In this automated backtest, we go with a fixed value, but in real life you would probably look at your account – each and every day.

And you would be able to see, if it is better to increase or maybe even to decrease your default risk setting.

Getting good results is possible for each trading year, but a good or bad result is defined by the circumstances.

For example something like the Brexit votum could totally change the game for you and your system.

In that case, you want to be able to adjust the risk and the RobotTradingSystem is able to do that.

This time we trade the year 2014 in this automated video.

We are trading the Australian against the Canadian Dollar to show you the results.

So why do we use this currency pair? Because it works so well. The risk setting is 15.

There is enough liquidity and therefore we have enough trading opportunities.

This currency pair is my favorite choice and most often it is the one that produces the best results.

But not always. I have looked at my automated MQL4 Brexit system that is running since 2016 and I get the best results for other currency pairs.

It makes more profit when I look at the British pound against the US dollar.

And it made the most pips trading the British pound against the Australian dollar.

Now you would probably have no problem to find reasons, why that is the case.

But actually, I don’t care. I do extensive backtesting, but that doesn’t mean that I can predict the future.

It works anyhow, because I am not only trading one currency pair – I use up to 22 currency pairs at the same time – depending on the system I use.

So if something goes wrong in one currency pair, I can always adjust that one and still make a profit – if the other currency pairs do well.

This is the Envelopes entry and we are trading the year 2013 for the Australian against the Canadian dollar. We use a risk setting of 8.

Automated trading has several advantages. One is the fact, that we can do backtests in a few minutes.

A human trader can’t do a few hundred or even a few thousand trades in such a short span of time.

And the fact, that it only takes a few minutes doesn’t mean that it isn’t real trading experience.

Another fact is that an automated trading system can trade around the clock.

I doubt that any human trader could do that for 24 hours – even once – without serious mistakes.

We would get tired, bored and see things on the chart that aren’t really there.

And there is no way, that we could do that for 5 days and nights in a row.

But even if you could consume enough energy drinks to do that, you still wouldn’t be able to trade up to 22 currency pairs at the same time.

But any 10 year old computer can do that with MQL5.

That is why I consider automated trading to be the best invention since sliced bread.

Let’s trade the year 2012 with the Envelopes entry signal. This video is automated to show you the results.

Did you know that I never made any profits as a non-automation trader? I think the major reason is that I thought that it is all common sense.

So whenever I was sure that the price would go up, I placed a buy order and usually the price would immediately start to fall.

That would cause me to close the position and as soon as I did that, the price would start to rise again.

Whenever I tried to do the opposite of what I thought was necessary, the price did the opposite of the opposite.

So I found myself looking at charts, always asking the same question: What should I DO?

Should I go long or short?

Should I open another position, or close the current one?

Should I believe indicators or fundamental news?

Back then, I would have never traded what I trade today.

Because it makes no sense. You wouldn’t do that.

The only reason I let my system do it is: I have results.

I used backtesting to find out what works and I repeated that – again and again.

Today my results are much better, I don’t look at charts anymore and my system does, what it should do.

That took a lot of time, effort and money, but it was worth it!

This time we trade the Envelopes entry for the trading year 2011. In this automated video we trade the Australian against the Canadian Dollar and we use an insane risk setting of 25!

Backtesting is very useful, but from time to time people are disappointed when they try to do the same thing on their real account.

Most often, those results are very different – and there are several reasons for that.

For example you might have a low quality for the historical data you have used in your backtests. Look at the red bar at the end of this video to see what Metatrader considers bad quality.

Or your demo account might have a very moderate spread, while your real account has higher spread costs.

Or you have good results on your demo account, because it doesn’t cost you any money.
But your real account is something very different.

Whatever the cause might be, there is something that is very useful to make it through all these problems.

First we use a demo account to get started. Once we are satisfied with our results on the demo account, we would switch to a so called Cent account.

Just google it, it is a way to trade very small accounts – but with real money!

Once you are satisfied with your results, you can increase your Cent account or switch to a full account.

If you do that, you have the possibility to grow with your account – and that is one of the major keys to not manipulate your trading system!

In this automated video we trade the year 2010 with the Envelopes entry. The risk setting is 5.5.

Do you think that trading is exciting? If that is the case, you probably should stop to trade, right now!

In my opinion good automated trading is very boring!

Why do you think am I using a risk setting of 5.5 for this particular backtest? Because I have tried several other risk settings before!

Most of the time I do the same thing – with slightly different settings.

That is how I got my systems to be profitable.

Just doing the same thing – again and again and again.

Trying something, improving it several dozen times – until it works!

I use the settings that work for the last decade to trade my own system.

Often I need to spend several hours to find the right settings to even survive a decade.

Afterwards I improve the setting until I can make a profit for a decade. That takes a lot of time!

So good trading is very boring for me. If you still get excited about a single trade, maybe your account size or your lot size for that trade is too big.

Could you become bored and profitable? If your answer is yes, maybe you want to watch the other performance videos on RobotTradingSystem.com – or wherever you get your trading performance videos…

This time we trade the Envelopes indicator to show you the results for the year 2009.

Nobody likes a draw down. Every trader would like to see the equity and the balance to go up forever.

Unfortunately this isn’t always the case. Yes, sometimes it looks like it would work forever, but suddenly you see your equity go down.

Now what? Should you close your positions? Should you hope for better times?

I know, what I need to do, because I have measured results from thousands of automated trades.

I know exactly how my expectancy looks like, because I have the data for each and every trade from 2014 up until now – for several systems.

If you have that kind of data, you don’t have to guess. You can simply go with what worked in the past.

The past doesn’t equal the future, but what would you prefer for something like a surgery?

A doctor who really did the kind of surgery you need for several years, or somebody who had seen General Hospital several times?

Trading is always risky, but I prefer to make it as safe as it gets.

That might mean that I only make a few thousand dollars for each trading year, but that is better than to risk all your money based on 17 discretionary trades.

This time we are trading the Envelopes entry signal for the year 2008. This video is automated, to show you the results.

2008 was the year of the financial crisis. Most people had some problems, some lost their money, others lost their job.

The year 2008 was one of those years where you probably wouldn’t like to trade at all.

But most of the time nobody knows, when the next crisis is going to happen.

So if you get aware of a crisis, it might be a good idea to adjust your trading risk. In this case we are using a risk setting of 2.

That is only a fraction of the risk that you could use for other years and it only makes a small profit – but you wouldn’t have lost all your money.

So from time to time you should check your equity and if you see something like the financial crisis from 2008, you should really decrease your risk.

With a smaller risk you obviously can’t expect outstanding profits, but you can always increase your risk settings later.

Yes, there are years, when you will see outstanding results, but 2008 wasn’t one of them.

This time we are trading the year 2007. We use the envelopes entry with a risk setting of 8 for this automated video to show you the results.

What would you consider to be the most important part of a system? Is it the entry?

Most people focus on the entry, because they believe that getting the right entry will help them to get the right results.

And I thought that, too. So I tried to find the one entry that never fails.

But guess, what? I never found it!

That is, because each and every entry signal are based on past events.

Not even the most shiny indicator is able to accurately predict the future!

So from time to time you will get false signals, no matter what kind of entry you trade.

And whenever that happens, you need to have a good strategy in place – or those false signals can ruin your whole trading account!

In your car, you use the steering wheel for the direction, the transmission and the gas pedal to adjust the driving speed – and the brakes to slow down when that is required.

Would you buy a car, where one of those important parts is missing? Probably not!

So why do you think that the success or failure of a trading system is just depending on that one magic entry signal?

We are trading the exponential moving average crossover entry for the year 2017 in this automated video – and I don’t like this entry.

Yes, it works and yes – I was able to make a profit with this entry for each of the eleven years in this testing series.

But it is too inconsistent for my taste. Like a colleague who behaves like he is your best friend now and won’t talk to you the next day.

But I only know that, because I have done a lot of tests. We are talking about six hours – and that is just for today and just for this one entry signal.

Most people are looking for something that is easy and simple. Well, the Robot Trading System is what I consider the next best thing to that.

But you still will need to find out, if it is the right fit for you. And you will need to do backtests to do that.

I know people who think that they have found the best system in the world – and their opinion is based on 17 trades or so.

But if you really want to improve your results, you will need to find out what works best for you – and nobody else can do that for you.

This time it is the year 2016 that we are trading for the Australian against the Canadian dollar. The risk setting is 6.

Getting something that works is the goal for each trader. So here is how I did that for my Robot Trading System.

First I coded something that was able to trade and produce a result. That first result was not very good, but it was something that could be measured.

Afterwards I changed one thing and tried to improve that lousy result. If I could do that for one currency pair, I would try to also do it for other currency pairs and other trading years.

If the results were better, I would go with the new approach.

If the results were worse, I would undo the change and change something else.

The goal was to find something that could produce a profit for at least 10 years in at least 10 currency pairs.

And to find the best way to do that, I changed different things and also did the reverse test.

The reverse test is to do the opposite of what you think is working to prove that it really produces a measurable advantage or disadvantage.

If you are interested to find something that gives you an advantage, you probably would like to watch the other performance videos on RobotTradingSystem.com – or wherever you get your trading performance videos.

We are trading the year 2015 in this automated video and we are using an exponential moving average crossover entry.

The risk setting we use in this case is an insane value of 15.

I have backtested a few years for the exponential moving average entry now and I already know, that this will not be my favourite entry.

In fact, over all these years, I really have tested dozens and dozens of entries, but I still prefer the Bollinger Bands.

It might be, because it was the first indicator that made me profitable, several years ago.

But I think the main reason is that it can produce consistent results without too many bad surprises.

The exponential moving average crossover entry is very different. In this case I use a very high risk value of 15 – and yes, it makes a profit.

That might look like a good thing for other people, but in my real money system I would never trade such a high risk setting.

I prefer to start with a risk setting of 1 and currently the highest risk setting in my live system is 2.7 or so.

If you are interested to find entry signals that work with a lower risk setting, you might want to watch the other performance videos on RobotTradingSystem.com – or wherever you get your trading performance videos.

This is the crossover entry for two exponential moving averages. We are trading the year 2014 in this automated video. The risk setting is 6.

I really had to think twice, because I couldn’t even remember the risk setting I have chosen.

I am tired, because I didn’t sleep very well last night. I have a headache and I did several of these videos today.

And that is when I make errors. For example I might confuse the year 2013 with the year 2014 or something like that.

In trading this can become very costly. But as a human you get tired, you get a headache from time to time and sometimes you might get sick or bored.

And that is when we make trading mistakes.

You probably can’t watch 22 forex charts for 24 hours for five days in a row.

You need to sleep, you need to work and you want to spend some time with family and friends.

An automated system never has to deal with those kinds of problems.

That is why I think it is the better trader.

Before I used automated trading systems, I often missed market moves, because I wasn’t in front of my computer.

Today my computer does everything for me and I rarely look at charts anymore.

Let’s find out how the exponential moving average crossover entry does for the year 2013. This video is automated and we are using a risk setting of 5.2.

This is the value that works best for me.

I know, there are other people out there that might have a higher risk tolerance, a bigger account or better trading conditions because of the broker they use or the country they live in.

That is what it makes so hard to exactly find that one – one fits all – trading system that works for everybody.

Each and every trade influences the next one and the only thing that you can do to find the right solution that works is to test it.

You can download the demo version and find out, if this works for you. It is not that hard to do that.

But it is also not very hard to find dozens of other shiny systems, indicators and trading strategies.

The problem is not to find content that is trading related, the problem is to find out what is relevant for you.

For me it is results. I once defined that a successful trading system should be able to make a profit for at least 10 trading years in at least 10 different currency pairs.

That took a lot of backtesting, but in my opinion it is worth each minute.

This is an automated video to show you the results for the Robot Trading System in the year 2012. We use an exponential moving average crossover entry and a risk setting of 10.

That is a very high risk setting and what we do in this video is too risky for my taste. I would call it a wild ride, because we see draw downs that are too high – if you are a risk averse trader.

In a backtest it is not very hard to watch such a draw down, but it is a very different experience when you trade on a real account.

That might cause you to manipulate your system – or even close the whole account because of fear or other unpleasant emotions.

So why would you do that? Because the money has a meaning for your life.

If your account is so big, that a total loss would cause problems in your lifestyle, you probably should trade a smaller account.

I often say that good automated trading is very boring, because no trade will make or break your account.

That makes it less exciting for traders, but if you are looking for entertainment, you probably should consider Netflix.

We are trading the Australian against the Canadian dollar for the year 2011. This video is automated to show you the results.

This time we are using a risk setting of eight.

Market conditions change from time to time and 2011 was one of the years where you really can see that in the results.

Being an automated trader has some advantages and I really like it when the equity and the balance curve go up like on rails.

A draw down is something that no trader wants to see. We all prefer good results and profitable systems.

For our RobotTradingSystem we probably could increase the risk setting from 8 to 9 or even to 10, but why should we do that when everything works well?

Greed would be one reason why a human trader might want to do it, but an automated system is immune to that kind of emotion.

It just does what it is told to do and it will not violate the trading plan because of emotional reasons, nor will it do revenge trades.

We make rules before we trade anything and it will exactly follow these rules.

That is why it is called a system. Emotional trading is what I call hope trading – and that didn’t work very well for most of us – or did it?

Let’s trade the exponential crossover entry for the year 2010. We are trading the Australian against the Canadian dollar in this automated video.

The risk setting is 4.5 in this case. Yes, the Robot Trading System also allows to fine tune the risk setting by using floating point values.

Now you might ask yourself, how one can find the best setting for the risk? Well, the answer is simple: We do backtests, again and again and again!

With an automated system it is almost effortless to do a few hundred or even thousand trades within a few minutes.

If your risk setting is too low, you will not make good profits. If your risk setting is too high, you might crash your whole account.

If you increase your risk setting carefully and your results improve – that is the right thing to do.

But if your equity suddenly is going downhill – that is the right time to decrease the risk.

It is not that hard to understand, but it is surprisingly very hard to do for humans.

We look for secret entries that never fail. We try to adjust the settings for each and every entry signal in the world – but we miss the most important and obvious thing.

If you can adjust your risk, you can improve your results.

Sometimes you can’t make much profit, no matter what you try. In 2009 we have still problems to make good profits with the crossover entry.

Market conditions change and so far I have never seen any entry signal that is always producing optimal results.

Every kind of indicator produces false signals from time to time and in the middle of a financial crisis that can be very unprofitable.

But if you are a long term oriented person, you might find out that you can expect better results in other years.

At least there is one good thing: I have also never seen any entry that couldn’t produce at least a small profit – if you use the right risk settings to trade it!

Risk is like the transmission in your car. You would probably never try to park your car with a speed of 80 miles per hour and you slow it down before you park it.

You should also consider to lower the speed of your trading system when it is time.

When you see that your equity is going down in a steep curve, it is time to use the brakes and avoid a crash.

Why do we use such a low risk setting here? For 2007 we used a value that was more than two times bigger, so what is the difference now?

Well, 2008 was the year of the financial crisis. A lot of people lost a lot of money in 2008, so probably it would have been a good idea not to trade at all.

But you never know when the next financial crisis is going to hit the market, so how should you decide if you want to trade?

A crisis is usually something that is not foreseeable, so isn’t it good to know that there is a system that makes it possible to even trade the worst crisis that we have seen in this century?

In our backtest we are not so much involved, everything happens in a few seconds. But I still remember that we all have seen the news back in 2008.

Big banks went bankrupt, people lost their jobs or their life savings. Going all in would have been a sure way to lose all your trading money, so a low risk setting is probably a good way to survive the next financial crisis.

In this automated video we are trading the crossover entry with a risk setting of 7 for the year 2007.

The crossover entry is one of the most popular entry signals, because it is easy to understand.

In this case we have an exponential moving average that is calculated based on the last 20 candles and another one that is calculated based on the last 50 candles.

An exponential moving average is similar to a simple moving average, but the last few candles have a bigger importance for the calculation.

Whenever those two lines cross, that would be either a buy or a sell signal.

When the moving average for 20 candles is above the 50 candle exponential moving average, it is going up.

Otherwise, when the moving average for 20 candles is below the other one, it is going down.

We have a lot of entry signals in this case, but we will only trade whenever our risk setting allows another position to be opened.

For 2007 this entry is a good choice, because it produces good profits with a very acceptable draw down.

This is the random entry and we are trading the year 2017. In this automated video we are using a risk setting of 8.

So – why should anybody even consider to trade a random entry?

A few years ago I bought a few trading books of Dr. Van Tharp.

In one chapter he described a conversation with another trader – named Tom Basso.

One seminar participant had asked if random entries could be profitable at all.

Tom Basso answered, that it would be possible to trade randomly generated entries – if all the other system components would be adjusted in the right way.

No way, I thought! So I coded a system to disprove it. And guess what?

It is possible! Of course, you don’t believe me!

So a good way to prove or disprove it would be to download the demo version for the random entry and trade it on your own demo account.

A random entry will create different positions – each time you trade the same historical data.

It will show you buy and sell signals, calculated by a random generator.

And trading a random entry is something that might help you to understand how important the other components in an automated system really are – entries are totally overrated!

This time we are trading the year 2016. We use a random entry signal with a risk setting of 2. This video message is automated to show you the results.

Not only the position entries will be different with a random entry signal.

You will also see different results at the end of the year.

That might mean better or worse results. Random is random, you can’t expect that a random generator would do the same thing each time.

So some people now might ask themselves if it wouldn’t be better to use an indicator that produces the exact same signals each time a backtest is performed.

Well, it depends on how you see the world. If you believe that prices go up and down for a reason, you will look for a confirmation to prove that.

If you believe that price movements are caused bye undocumented and unforeseeable actions that are performed by emotionally driven people – well, that would be very close to pure random.

But it doesn’t matter if you think it is possible or not, wouldn’t it be interesting to find out if you are right?

Yes, random entries might also create a loss, but that is true for each and every entry signal in the world!

Most indicators try to predict the future by looking at the past, so what do you think?

Would a profit made by a random entry be a good thing to prove if an automated system works?

This time we are going to trade the year 2015 with a random entry and a risk value of 10.

This video is automated to show you the results.

Now how would a good result look like?

We all want infinite profits with zero risk, most people get the opposite and somewhere between those two ends of the scale – that is where we can find reality.

Trading is something that we do to make a profit, but what would be a good profit?

Would you like to come up with a $50000 account to make $300 in a year?

Maybe not. Maybe you could make more money doing something else.

To find out what a realistic result looks like, you need to test. In this case we use a high risk setting and it works – but if a draw down hits your account within the first few months, it could wipe out your account.

In October it is no problem, because we already made good profits, but – you never know that is going to happen in the future.

So it is a good idea to start with a lower risk setting and adjust it when things work out as expected.

Random entries are a good way to find the optimal setting, because in one hundred backtests you will get one hundred different results.

That is very helpful to get a good understanding about what works – and what doesn’t work.

Let’s trade the random entry for the year 2014. This video is automated, to show you the results.

We are using a risk setting of 6.

If you use a higher risk setting, you think that the results might be better, but maybe you are wrong.

Higher risk settings will also mean that you could make much bigger losses.

From time to time, you will see that a high risk leads to a better result, but it may also be the course why your account maybe totally ruined.

It really depends on the market conditions and on your own comfort zone.

There are years, where you can expect good profits for a high risk, but in other years it would be a good idea to trade with very low risk – or not at all.

And you will only know if it was a good idea after you see the results!

Nobody can see the future, no indicator, no expert and even the best system needs to be adjusted to the current conditions!

You wouldn’t be able, to start your car and predict if all the traffic lights are green.

You wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning and predict everything that might happen on the particular day.

So why would you think that you are able to predict the future, based on trading conditions that happened in the past?

The most interesting thing about random entries is the fact, that it is possible to make a profit by using this entry.

That doesn’t necessarily mean, that the random entry is the entry to produce the best possible results!

You might find that other entries may be better for you, you might also have some other trading strategy that you have already used to make profits.

From time to time you will see that each and every entry has periods where it doesn’t perform very well.

Market conditions might change, and what worked for the last trading year, might not work for the current trading year.

The market is going to do what it is going to do, you don’t have any chance to change it!

The only things that you can change is when you trade, how much you trade and when you close your positions.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea, to find out how all these things influenced your results?

With automated trading, you can do that within a few minutes!

If you are interested in finding the best way to do that, maybe you want to watch the other performance videos on robottradingsystem.com – or whereever you get your trading performance videos…

This kind of risk would be much too high for my personal system, but I know there are different people out there.

Some folks don’t have any problems with high draw downs to make better profits.

I am very risk averse, but that is something I needed to learn.

When I started out I had no idea what I did.

I just listened to people I didn’t know and did what they said.

I took lessons from my broker – you know, the guy who makes money anyway – even if you ruin your account?

I tried to develop a feeling for the market. Yes, a feeling!

Today I know that trading with a feeling is like driving on a highway, blindfold, trying to find out the right direction by listening to the car radio…

If you try to trade your feelings, you probably should not consider to trade at all.

In my eyes it is the second fastest way to part from your money – the best way probably would be burning it!

So if you want to keep your money, you need to adjust your risk!

Let’s trade the year 2011 in this automated video. We use a risk setting of 5 this time and that is half of what we used in other years.

In almost every trading year you will see a period when your equity is far below what you have invested.

Backtesting is always something that is done with a start and an end date, so it might be possible that the biggest draw down will occur at the end of the test period.

When you are trading on your live account, you would probably not close your account just because it is December.

But the strategy tester has no other choice, it will trade exactly the way you told him, so if you have made a loss on the last day of the backtesting period, your strategy tester doesn’t care.

It does it as good as it is possible, but you are human – and you can do what you want to do.

So if your system makes a good profit, you could decide to close all the open positions before December.

I like to close all open positions whenever I have reached my equity goal and the equity and the balance curve are very close to each other.

We are going to trade the random entry for 2010. In this automated video we are using a risk setting of 4.

In some backtests you might notice that a few months of the year are traded in one or two seconds when you disable the visual mode.

Other months might take much longer to calculate and you might ask yourself about the reason.

Well, there are two things that can cause your backtest to speed up or slow down.

The first thing is the number of trades that need to be calculated. The more open positions you have, the longer the backtester needs.

The other thing is data quality. Historical data does not need to be imported, it is automatically downloaded when you start a backtest for the first time.

And from time to time the quality of that data is not very good – as in this case.

You can see the quality indicator for the historical data at the end of the backtest, just click on the backtest tab in Metatrader and look at the history quality score.

In our case the system works anyway and there is no guarantee that you won’t have power outages or networking problems in real trading.

So it is a good idea, to use a system that can also perform with crappy data.

This time we are trading the random entry in 2009. The risk setting is 4 and this video is automated to show you the results.

I like the random entry, because it is not predictable.

So there is no bias and each and every backtest for the same year will produce different results.

The reason is simple: Each position that is opened will influence the complete system and all the positions that follow.

So why is it possible to make a profit with randomized entry signals?

In my opinion entries are necessary, but the right entry setting is not what will make your system a winner or a loser.

There are other components that have a bigger influence, for example how many positions you trade at the same time.

Like a car needs to adjust it’s speed to the traffic, a good trading system must be able to adjust it’s risk to the current market conditions.

That is still not a guarantee that it could not make losses, but it improves your chances for a profit significantly.

If you are interested in improving your chances, you might want to watch the other videos on RobotTradingSystem.com – or wherever you get your trading performance videos…

2008 was the year where most people lost money because of the financial crisis.

I heard about several institutes that had the best equipment, the best experts and the biggest trading accounts – and they still lost money!

So probably it would have been a good idea not to trade at all in 2008.

But nobody can see the future and if you would have traded that year, you could have made a profit – if you were wise enough to use a very low risk setting.

By the way, we adjust the risk setting on the input tab of the backtester and that setting can be changed without any coding.

2.5 was a good choice in this case, only a slightly higher value might have crashed the $50000 account.

I think most people don’t know their risk setting and some folks might not even know what a risk setting is.

Basically it is a multiplicator that calculates the allowed number of positions based on the current monetary results.

The risk setting is 4.

I found that the quality of the history data for backtesting is in most cases not so good for the years prior to 2010.

But my definition for a depending system is something that can be profitable for at least 10 years, so I usually do tests from 2007 up to 2017.

I think that the data quality is not that important for my system, because I have tried to make it as secure against faulty data by design.

I know, that power outages occur in real trading.

I have also network problems from time to time.

And you might have seen these Windows updates – restarting your computer in the middle of the game.

All these things would cause a problem with the data quality, because if your last price data is from a few hours ago, an automated system might behave in unpredictable ways.

So I turn off my systems from time to time – or I cut the internet connection. Just to see what happens.

Usually I do that with my demo accounts – and I encourage all course members to do that for at least three months – before they trade on a real account.

We are trading the Stochastic indicator for the year 2017. This video is automated and we are using a risk setting of 10.

The Stochastic indicator is an oscillator – and it isn’t even considered to be used as an entry signal.

Most people use it in combination with other signals, like moving averages.

They use the Stochastic oscillator to confirm those signals to filter out false signals.

Well, good luck, no indicator can do that, because all indicators look at past events to predict the future.

And that includes that you will – always – have false signals and you will – always – have open positions that are caused by those false signals.

So what should you do now? Close those positions, because they have been opened by a signal that you consider to be false?

How should closing a position help you to avoid losses, when it causes a loss to close it?

And why do you think that the next signal will be better – even you use exactly the same indicator to predict the future?

If even the Stochastic oscillator could be traded with a profit, what else could you trade?

This time we are trading the Stochastic oscillator for 2016. In this automated video we are using a risk setting of 10 and it is a good example how close victory and defeat sometimes are.

Yes, we make profits but you will also see how close the equity comes to a total loss from time to time.

That is a sure sign that either the risk is too high – or the account size is to small.

European brokers are regulated and whenever your account would see a draw down that is too big, they would stop you out in a minute!

A good end result wouldn’t matter in that case, your broker will stop you out exactly in the most unpleasant situation – so you will never see that good end result.

Your broker doesn’t care if you make a profit or a loss, because every trade will make him money.

The more you trade, the more money he makes.

Trading is a game that is by default not constructed to make most traders rich.

But it will definitely make most brokers rich – no doubt about that!

So whenever you feel tempted to trade too much positions or a too big position, you should probably not trade anything – until that feeling goes away.

We are trading the Stochastic oscillator for the year 2015 and this video is automated.

This time the risk setting is very high, we are using a value of 12.

I would not recommend to do that on a real account, because things could go wrong with such a high risk.

Yes, right now you are looking at a backtest where it is no problem to see a draw down that might last for a few seconds, but wait until you see something like that happen on your real account!

That totally changes the game, because of your emotions.

Humans are emotional creatures and if you would see your real money account taking a draw down of almost $50000, that might cause serious emotional problems.

I think a trader needs to grow with his account and I always encourage people to start with a demo account.

Most of them don’t listen, because they think that using a demo account is a waste of time.

Once their money is gone, they suddenly agree that it indeed would have been a good idea.

Whenever you feel fear that your account might tank, whenever you want to get up in the middle of the night to check your account – that is a good sign that your account size is too big!

This time we are trading the year 2014. This is an automated video and we are using a risk setting of 7.

Probably you would think that results are always better with a higher risk or that draw downs are always less harmful with a lower risk.

But that is not necessarily the case.

You see a lot of trades that are opened and closed in split seconds, but each trade influences the other positions.

The art is to carefully adjust the setting to fit to the current market conditions.

Think of a car on a frozen lake, you would need to use the steering wheel very carefully – or your car would start to drift and break out of the course.

Trading multiple positions on multiple charts could mean that you have a very good result for one currency pair and a bad result for another.

That is like the weather, the fact that the sun is shining in the summer doesn’t mean it couldn’t rain.

The trick is to achieve positive results – even if the weather is bad.

Think of a sail boat, where you would set the sail according to the weather conditions.

You can’t change the weather – once you are out on the ocean, but you could always change the set of the sail…

Now you might ask yourself, why not use a risk setting of 3 or 4? Why exactly 3.8?

Well, that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t use something else, but from time to time it makes sense to pick floating type values.

In this case a value of 3 would not open enough positions for my own taste – and a risk setting of 4 would produce a draw down that is too big.

I know that, because I have tested both values for the Stochastic entry – that is possible in a minute or two – with an automated system.

One of the benefits of automation is the fact, that you can do a few hundred trades with a single mouse click to find the optimal setting for your own needs.

A discretionary trader would never be able to do that in such a short time, but you can do it with almost no effort.

There are years when you want to do exactly that: Fumbling around with different risk values to find the one that gives you the optimal result.

2013 is such a year – if you use the Stochastic oscillator.

If you would like to find out how optimal results look for other years or other indicators, maybe you want to watch the other performance videos on RobotTradingSystem.com – or wherever you get your trading performance videos…

We are trading the year 2012 with a risk setting of 7 and in this automated message we use the Stochastics entry to open a lot of positions.

Nobody wants to see a boring movie, we are all looking for entertainment.

Could you imagine an Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willis movie where both guys sit on a park bench for 90 minutes, waiting for the bus?

That is how it feels in trading sometimes. You want the excitement, you want to see big profits.

And if you trade for the entertainment, that might be the cause why you try to manipulate your system.

Suddenly you realize, that the excitement can become real terror. Yes you wanted to be thrilled, but no, you didn’t want to see your finances melt away – like butter in the sun.

So now you manipulate something else in an attempt to make your money back – and usually this will make things worse.

Whatever you do, it doesn’t work. If you do the opposite of what you would do, the market might do the opposite of the opposite.

Let’s trade the Stochastics oscillator for the year 2011 in this automated video. We are using a risk setting of 8.

I really prefer the equity and the balance to go up as straight as possible and I think that is the same for you.

But from time to time it pays to accept a draw down for a better result.

In our case we use a risk of 8 and we could decrease the draw downs if we would use a lower risk.

A low risk will give us more security for the trading capital.

But it would also decrease our possibility for higher profits, because fewer positions are traded.

So you need to find your own comfort zone to adjust the risk setting.

For me it is okay, if the draw downs don’t go significantly below the initial deposit.

For example I would have problems if my system would have 50 percent or more, but I wouldn’t manipulate it.

I would just decrease the risk setting.

Depending on your broker and your finances, you might find that a higher or a lower risk is better for your needs.

This is the year 2010. We are trading the Stochastic oscillator with a risk setting of 6 in this automated video.

The risk setting is used to calculate the number of trades that are allowed at the same time.

You might have noticed, that the Robot Trading System is trading several positions, not only one position at a time.

One of the big benefits of automated trading is the fact, that your computer is able to calculate everything that is needed in a few split seconds.

Humans would need three or four seconds to multiply 13 times 14, but computers can do that – and a lot of more impressing calculation stuff – in a fraction of that time.

If calculating multiple positions based on an algorithm is easy for your PC, why would you spend hours and hours waiting for the right entry?

I think a lot of people do it for the entertainment, but I am more interested in results.

I have had lots of requests from people who wanted to know how much profit they could make by using the entry X or Y.

They think the more complicated their entry is, the higher would be the profit.

I used to think that way, too. I used Java, Selenium and two trading websites to scrape the entry signals for 18 different entry signals.

The system was a total mess, it made losses.

In 2009 we use a risk setting of 4 to trade the Stochastic oscillator. This video is automated to show you the results for that.

You will always have good and bad years to trade, sometimes it is possible to grow your account and sometimes you can just make a small profit to cover the costs.

For the Stochastic oscillator the year 2009 wasn’t the best year so far, but we are still able to make a few thousand dollars.

One of the good things in backtesting is the fact, that you can find out how your system would have performed under different market conditions.

But you might see that the quality of the backtesting data is not so good, so it is always a good idea to test different approaches.

In my case the definition for a good system is easy: I wanted to create an automated system that could make profits in at least 10 different currency pairs for at least 10 years.

I can do that today with the RobotTradingSystem, but it took me a while.

I do know my results in real trading. They are promising, but if you can expect the same results – that depends on your account type, leverage, trading costs and so on.

Let’s see how the Stochastic oscillator performed in 2008 – that is the year of the financial crisis. This video is automated and we are using a risk setting of 3.

Most traders lost a lot of money in 2008 – and we would have also lost our money if we would use the same risk setting that worked for 2007.

Like the weather, the markets can change from sunny to stormy conditions and it is a good idea, to use a very low risk setting in uncertain times.

You probably never would try to park your car with the same speed you use to overtake other cars on the highway, would you?

So you slow down when you arrive at the parking lot and adjust your current speed to the current conditions.

That is a wise practice on the street and it is also wise to reduce the trading risk when the market conditions are bad.

A financial crisis is not so hard to notice, everybody is talking about it in the news.

That causes uncertainty and in uncertain times people may overreact.

And that causes high volatility, so be careful in the next financial crisis and reduce your trading risk.

We are trading the Stochastics entry for 2007 to show you the results.

The risk setting for the Robot Trading System is 8 and this is an automated video.

The Stochastic is an oscillator, that is a special kind of indicator that is not shown in the chart itself, but in a separate window below.

An oscillator is an indicator that usually shows a normal range and some extreme conditions.

We are going to use the Stochastic oscillator to create buy or sell signals for our automated system.

Whenever the red and the blue line cross above the upper dotted line, that will produce a sell signal, because we consider the currency pair to be overbought.

Otherwise, if the crossover takes place below the lower dotted line, we expect the price to rise, so we are going to create a buy signal.

Most traders use the oscillator in combination with other signals, but in our case this is the only signal we need for our automated system.

Indicators produce signals based on past events, so there is no perfect entry, but in our case that signal will work as good as any other entry, because we achieve good results with it.

This is the automated Accumulation Distribution indicator video for 2017. We are using a risk setting of 12.

That is a far too high risk setting for me, but it is no problem to use it in a backtest or on a demo account.

Actually it is a good idea to use extreme values in testing to get a good understanding what can go wrong.

You might feel save, once you have seen a few hundred profitable trades.

Most people don’t even have that. They have an opinion that might be based on 17 trades or so.

I don’t consider anything below a thousand trades to be a system.

In this video we use an indicator that is considered to only be used as a filter and you might also notice, that we don’t have a single sell trade.

So if something like that is possible, I think you would agree that the entry is highly overrated when it comes to profitable systems.

Yes, there are differences, so if you use something else you will get different results, but the entry signal is always looking at past events.

So there is no foolproof entry that would never produce false signals – nobody can see into the future.

Let’s see how the Accumulation Distribution entry has performed in 2016. This video is automated and we are using a risk setting of 12.

Sometimes one of the course members asks me how I define good automated trading.

So here is my answer: Good automated trading is boring! No thrills, no surprises!

If you have a good automated trading system, you know your expectancy and your risk.

You don’t expect that one trade might make or break your system, because you do hundreds of trades.

You don’t have sleepless nights, because you know how your system will deal with power outages or connection problems.

You don’t have to sit in front of your screen, because you don’t need to look at the charts.

You don’t listen to financial news, because you don’t turn off your system in the next crisis.

You don’t need to manually adjust anything, because you have adjusted it before you activated your system.

You just check the results on your mobile phone and once in a while you restart your system because of updates.

So that is very boring, because there is nothing interesting to see and nothing interesting to do.

This is the trading year 2015 and in this automated video we are trading the Accumulation Distribution entry with a risk setting of 10.

Sometimes you need to decide if you would rather go for a bigger profit or if you want to avoid a bigger draw down.

In my case I almost always pick the lower draw down, because I know that one big draw down could wipe out my whole account.

But there are also people who might feel comfortable with a bigger risk.

It always depends on the person in front of the screen how the “right” risk would be defined.

The Robot Trading System has a switch for that risk setting.

It also can deal with floating type values, so you are able to finetune your settings.

For me a good risk reward ratio would be a system where the balance curve and the equity curve look like a train track.

Even if the account growth is smaller, a smaller drawdown is often worth it.

Most people kill their account with a too high risk, so it is always a good idea to test and adjust your risk setting carefully.

Let’s trade the year 2014 for the Accumulation Distribution oscillator in this automated video.

We use a risk setting of 7.

In automated trading you will see that the results for a different trading year might also be very different.

With the right risk setting it is possible to make a profit in every trading year – and sometimes you can multiply your account size.

But there are also years where you only make a small profit, maybe just to cover your trading costs.

One currency pair with one entry might produce good results while another combination might produce bad results.

So how do you know, what entry and currency pair to trade?

In my case I have a very simple answer: I trade all of them and go with whatever works best.

And to find that combination I need to do a lot of backtesting.

A good result would be a high profit with a low risk for at least 10 years.

That is one more reason to use automation, because I never could do that without automated trading.

This is the year 2013, traded with the Accumulation Distribution oscillator and this is an automated video to show you the results. We use a risk setting of 4.

When you start out with automated trading, you will see all kinds of people with different opinions and approaches.

I used to ask programmers in the forums how to make a profit, but they wanted to talk about beautiful coding styles instead.

One of them told me that he didn’t have a profitable system – this guy was one of the members that have been in that forum for several years!

So I decided to start with whatever I could get to produce a result – and improve the results later.

Often I couldn’t improve anything, so I needed to start over again and try another approach.

With automated trading systems it is so easy to change one thing, measure the results and see if it gets you one step closer to your goal.

It doesn’t cost anything to do that on demo accounts, so I consider it to be a good practice to use them – and save your money until you have something that works.
