Cannon Trading Company is excited to be one of the first firms to offer connectivity to the iSystems Automated Trading System Platform.
The platform allows clients to browse 100s of automated trading systems – with the ability to view overall performance, monthly profit/loss, trade logs, and all the relevant risk/reward statistics.
Clients can then subscribe to systems they like, and activate the systems for live trading in their account – choosing how many contracts to trade; whether to get in line with the algorithm or wait until the next signal, and then monitor all of the activity in real time on the website with the ability to start and stop systems at any time they choose.
Trading systems can remove the emotions and provide consistency to your trading, while most have the profile of risking a small amount on each trade while looking to make several times that amount.
How Does It Work? Continue reading “ROBOT Futures Trading 8.22.2017”

Some traders solve the problem by breaking their trading size into more than just 1 unit.
Entering Multiple Contracts: Philosophy
I think that entering multiple contracts does 3 good things for you…

Knowing What You Don’t Know in Trading Markets
|
|
The headline of this educational feature may be a bit confusing, but I will explain what I mean shortly. First, I want to reiterate that trading futures, stock and FOREX markets is not an easy undertaking. It disgusts me that there are a few unsavory people in our industry that portray trading as an easy, get-rich-quick scheme, or as some endeavor for which there are “secrets” to be learned from those who hold “trading secrets.”
Folks, the plain truth is that there are no trading secrets and no easy paths to quick success in trading markets. Beware of anyone who tries to tell (or sell) you such.

The “process of trading” includes understanding financial leverage, market behavior and trader psychology. Understanding the process of trading can be achieved with perseverance and a willingness to continue to learn.
