HOW TO CREATE A MECHANICAL TRADING SYSTEM

Many times ago, we have facilitate you learn the way develop your trading plan. We’ve also explained the importance of it is for you to discover which type of FOREX trader you are.
Then, we feel the necessary to teach you the way add some meat to your thin trading plan frame by showing you how to create a FOREX trading system.
 Specifically, we would like to teach you all about FOREX mechanical trading systems.
Mechanical trading systems:  This comprises the systems that generate trade signals for a trader to take. These are named mechanical as a trader will take the trade regardless of what is happening in the markets now and then.



In theoretical approach, this should eliminate all biases and emotions in your trading, because you are supposed to follow the rules of your system NO MATTER WHAT.
When you propel a simple search in Google for “FOREX trading systems” you’ll find many people out there who claim to have the “Holy Grail” system that you can purchase for “only” a few thousand dollars.
Actually, these systems make thousands of pips a week and never lose and which how you supposed “results” of their perfect systems and it will make your eyeballs turn into dollar signs as you sit there and say to yourself, “Wow I can make all this money if and only if I just give this guy $3,000. More ever, if this system making thousands of pips a week, I’ll be able to make my money back in no time.”
Go slow down cowboy slowwwwwwwwwwww.
You know some things important before you give them your credit card number and make that impulse buy.
In fact, many of these systems DO in fact work. But, there is a problem. The FOREX Traders lack the discipline to follow the rules that go along with the system.
More ever,  (Is there such thing as a second truth?) you can actually spend your time developing your own mechanical trading system for free, and use that money you were going to spend as capital for your FOREX Trading account, instead of paying thousands of dollars on a system,  .
Another important thing to keep in mind that, it is not difficult to create a mechanical trading system. What is difficult is following the rules that you set when you do develop your system.
You can see there are many articles that sell systems, but we haven’t seen any that teach you how to create your own system.
In the following lesson, you will get your enough guidance you through the steps you need to take to develop a FOREX Mechanical trading system that is right for you. At the end, you can get an example of a system that one of the FX-Men uses just so we can show you how awesome it is!

Goals of your mechanical trading system

As you are saying, “DUH, the goal of my trading system is to make a billion dollars!”
As it is a wonderful goal, it’s not exactly the kind of goal that will make you a successful FOREX trader.
If developing your mechanical trading system, you want to achieve two very important goals:
  1. Your system should be able to identify trends as early as possible.
  2. Your system should be able to avoid you from whipsaws.
When you can accomplish those two goals with your trading system, you have a much better chance of being successful.
The hard part about those goals is that they contradict each other.
When, you have a system who’s primary goals is to catch trends early, then you will probably get faked out many times.
On the contrary, when you have a mechanical trading system that focuses on avoiding whipsaws, then you will be late on many trades and will also probably miss out on a lot of trades.
It is an important task, if you are developing your Mechanical Trading System, it is to find a compromise between the two goals. Find a way to identify trends early, but also find ways that will help you distinguish the fake signals from the real ones.

When you have no idea from where to start, you need just drop by our Free Forex Trading Systems thread in our forums. Tons of FOREX traders post their ideas for trading systems, so you may find one or two that you can use when you build your own mechanical trading system.
