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”

To start with, this is a good problem…this means you are taking some winning trades. The answer is not a simple yes or no.

One must have a combination of both smaller, consistent winners. Also a few “runners” large profit trades, regardless if you are day trading, position trading or swing trading.

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…
