To lower influence of the psychological factor and to systematize the trade in the currency market, traders use trading systems. The role of trading systems consists in preliminary planning of transactions just as the business plan regulates enterprise development. What is the trading system?
The trading system is a set corrected, defining, under what conditions and in what order are carried out opening of positions and their closing. Rules of trading system should be accurately defined not to suppose double consideration of a situation.
Rigid definition of criteria and conditions for an input in the market and an exit from the market serves as the basic tool of decrease in psychological pressure upon the trader at the moment of acceptance of the important decision by him about transaction fulfillment. The trading system should be formulated the trader before he starts the auctions, and spent then transactions should correspond to system rules strictly.
Various trading systems possess a different set of rules for definition of the moment of an input in the market and an exit from it. Difficult trading systems impose weight of conditions for signal reception, and thus very often, difficult systems do not facilitate, and complicate a life of the trader. Therefore it is important to observe balance between necessity for the additional information and its sufficiency. For the beginning trader the good trading system studied and tested by him personally on the historical data, is saving circle in whirlpool of the price movements accompanied by explosions at the moment of an exit of the important news.
Trading systems define the detailed plan of work of the trader for that time frame for which the given system is developed. What of systems approaches more for you – you will solve yourself, here much depends both on a free time, and from your monetary resources, but, first of all, it depends on the purpose which you put for yourselves, having come on the currency market.
The trading system necessarily considers, for what currency pair it is created. If the trading system is developed for pair EUR/USD it will yield the declared results with this currency pair. It does not mean that it will yield negative results on other currency pair, for example, GBP/USD. It can quite appear that it will be good to work on several currency steams. But it needs to be checked personally: it is necessary to correct something in rules, for example, the size of warrants Stop Loss or Take Profit.
In the course of construction of trading system the trader should solve, for what sites of the market he prepares system — for long tendencies or for lateral corridors. Certainly, the system can have different properties to be combined, but nevertheless it is necessary to consider such moment: classical trend systems can badly work in a corridor, and, on the contrary, systems for work in the lateral market — not the best choice for work in a trend. Therefore extremely significant problem for the trader is the understanding of for what market sites he builds the system, on what sites the available system will work and as such potentially favourable sites to define.
