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.
Website that offer one system or one strategy are not effective for many people. They are also not a cost effective way to learn ETF trading. The websites which offer training, materials, books, and information about all of the strategies, systems, and methods that make up ETF trading will give you a holistic view of what is available. This websites also usually offer forums and chat rooms for beginners to ask questions and gain valuable information from successful ETF traders.
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.
There are a few steps that one can take to ensure that they have a safety net when moving through the learning curve. One is to set a stop-loss and stick to it. By setting a stop-loss, a person is not going to lose more than they expect. The ETF moves in fifteen second increments during the trading day. A person can lose a lot of gains in that amount of time if they are using the wrong system or strategy for them.
Setting buy and sell points and/or "take profit" prices is also a great part of a good safety net. If a person has not quite gotten the knack for spotting trends and knowing when things are getting ready to tank down yet. Having buy and sell points can get you out of trouble before you get into it. Once you feel confident with technical and historical analysis of your sectors you may want to relax the strategies that you employ for safety. But many traders use the setting buy and sell points strategy very successfully throughout their trading.
It may take some digging, but if you look you will find that each of the ETF trading systems has a breakdown that provides information about their risk, how hard they are to use, the parameters to set, and other information that will help to analyze that system. The ratings may be low risk (I haven't seen any), medium low to medium, high risk, and well there are systems beyond high risk, I just don't go there.
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 before using it to trade is a good way to find out how consistent and effective it is. A good rule of thumb to keep in mind is that if a system is great and effective, it can be tracked and followed. There is no way for a trader to keep a system a secret in ETF trading. Look for key clues in advertising. When an individual is "selling" a can't fail system, every trader knows that there is no "can't fail" system. If there were ETF trading would not be the fun that it is, and successful trades would not be as exhilarating as they are. - 23221
