Effective ETF Trading System Hints For Beginners
There are many effective different strategies, methods, and systems when one begins learning and working in ETF trading. Finding the ETF Trading System that will be most effective will be a matter of matching your personal style, your ETF goals, and your skills together and then working through the system to see if it will fit effectively.
Many websites offer books, training, or secrets about an effective system that is guaranteed to work. The really effective websites offer training and books on all of the systems that are available so that you can find the one that works best for you.
Starting small and slow with ETF trading is going to provide an opportunity to learn the techniques that work best. Many successful ETF traders agree that the learning curve for ETF training is around two years. If a person loses nothing in the first year, most of these traders agree that it has been an excellent year for that beginner. Setting realistic goals and expectations and setting up a safety net will be extremely helpful in making it through the learning curve unscathed.
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 setting "take profit" prices will also give you an added level of safety. Having a safety net in place will be of tremendous assistance when a person is first learning the intricacies of ETF trading and still trying on strategies, methods, and systems. A safety net acts as a life vest. Until you feel like you can dive in and swim in the deep end of the pool, keep a safety vest on. Even a little vest will add some level of protection and keep you from drowning.
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.
When looking at systems, any system that involves following trends is a system worth looking at. Learning to follow and spot trends, patterns, and variables is a great way to gain confidence in ETF trading. A system like the ETFA is one good way to start. The Exponential Moving Average System is a medium low to medium risk system that involves following trends. It is used primarily with TLT, XLE, RTH, XLF, and SPY (long term). Most people run the system on a fifteen day cycle. When the fast EMA and slow EMA cross, you move.
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. - 23305
