Are You a Trader Who Is Looking to Learn Advanced AmiBroker Programming Skills to Improve Your Trading Results?

You already know that AmiBroker is an extremely powerful tool for performing technical analysis. At Connors Research, it’s the application that we use for everything from simple signal generation to simulating portfolio results for complex strategies involving limit orders, scaling, hedging and more. If you’re ready to tackle these advanced analysis tasks yourself, then this course is for you.
 
Matt Radtke, Director Of Research for Connors Research taught the same AmiBroker programming techniques Connors Research uses in order to create and build high performing strategies. By the end of this course, you will have the ability to do your own high grade testing and analysis that so many professional traders rely upon to improve their trading and investing returns.

By harnessing the full power of AmiBroker, you can simulate historical results for a system that mirrors exactly the way you trade, and thereby gain insights into how it might perform in the future. In this course we will teach you exactly how to do this.

This course is designed for traders who want to use AmiBroker to create complex backtests and optimizations using the Custom Backtester (CBT) interface. At the completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Determine when to use each of the three levels of the Custom Backtester. Within minutes customize any system to fit your personal trading style, psychological profile and risk preference. Get into the nitty-gritty details of system development to build your private trading system. You will learn how to customize your own position sizing, your own hedging strategy, your own trade timing, and your own scale-in strategy.
• Add custom metrics via the Custom Backtester. Flesh out more robust trade results so you can compare different trading systems using customer metrics like Trade Quality. Integrate annual breakdowns of trades or annual breakdown of returns into your results. Verify that your system will perform consistently month after month and year after year, and remain robust through both good years and difficult years.
• Develop your own trading model from scratch so that you can evaluate how your ideas would do under historical trading conditions.
• Use some of AB’s more powerful functions. Now you can refine and improve your existing trading system, lower your risk, and improve performance.
• Perform correct optimizations. Avoiding the pitfalls for "over-optimization" develop historically validated enhancements to your trading system.
• Utilize multiple time frames, such as using weekly bars in a daily bar test. Further improve your system's accuracy by trading along with short and long-term time frames.
• Scale into positions. Build into your trading system, the same proprietary scaling-in methods of Connors Research's best strategies.
• Take portfolio considerations into account in your coding. Find ways to lift the performance of multiple positions in your portfolio, taking into consideration the overall performance of your portfolio.

Starting with Wyckoff’s fundamental law of Cause and Effect, where the P&F count within a trading range represents the Cause, and the subsequent price movement the Effect, Roman and Bruce will cover:

• How to construct a Wyckoff-style P&F chart
• Basic Wyckoff P&F count guidelines and modern applications
• P&F Phase Analysis to predict shorter- and longer-term price objectives
• Using P&F counts in conjunction with bar charts to help time trade entries

You will also learn about two powerful Bollinger specific indicators to help interpret the information presented on the bands. You will discover a way to identify explosive trades just days before they explode, and also how to identify when a trade is complete and about to reverse.

Serge Berger : Candlesticks for Swing Trading

Candlesticks for Swing Trading : Profit from Market Moves (1 DVD Video)

A veteran trader has simplified this proven strategy to read the minds of the market and quickly spot bigger gains.
 
This unique approach to interpreting investor sentiment makes it much easier to be ahead of the next big move. The market may act like it is on a stumbling, aimless, random walk but Serge Berger has identified how to anticipate trends and position yourself for big returns. The market is just other traders, and its moves are dictated by their actions. How traders act is surprisingly predictable when you have the right information and Serge has taken his 15+ years’ experience to interpret what moves tell him exactly how his fellow investors are thinking. His system is not only theoretically sound, but is the strategy he uses as an independent trader of client accounts!
 
When your money is at stake, you have to use simplicity in analysis to remove emotion, turn profits consistently–and still sleep soundly at night. Serge explains how to:

• Interpret candlesticks to show how the market is moving and how investors will act before they even do,
• Determine the strength of the candlesticks using simple signals to receive a confirmation before the market moves,
• Trade Serge’s most effective setups, and spot them early to fully exploit what investors are thinking and expecting.

No complicated psychological lecture here—just, simple analyses using indicators as easy to understand as moving averages, support and resistance lines, and even the slope of a line.

Top Gun Options : Options Webinar All Levels

Options Webinar All Levels

Top Gun Options 2010 Training Webinars Complete – All Levels, Primary, Intermediate & Advanced Classes + Introduction to options – Outstanding education stuff!
In this high-energy in brief you’ll learn who Options University is and how we transferred the same processes and methodologies that we used in combat situations and applied them to options trading on Wall Street. Trading is a form of combat. You’ll learn how our unique, proprietary training system can take someone who has no idea what an option is, and in a short amount of time turn them into a proficient trader.
1 – What is an Option?
See how we take a ‘building block approach’ to teach the art and science of options trading, starting with the most basic concept – the option itself. You’ll learn about the benefits of trading options, including leverage and limited risk, and the benefits of options over stocks.
2 – Option Contracts
Options are traded in a market and we look at how they work, including a behind the scenes look at the role of OCC. You’ll learn the two types of options contracts: call and puts. We explain the specific characteristics of options including: strike price, expiration, and premium. We also explain the rights and obligations that come with options.
3 – Long Calls
Learn the most basic bullish tactic and how it works for the buyer (holder), and how you must begin your options trading with a determination of your strategic mindset – bullish, bearish, volatile or neutral. Learn how to read the profit and loss diagram, including max risk, max loss, and breakeven. We show a simple example of this bullish tactic using Freeport McMoran (FCX) and how only 3 things can happen to the stock.
4 – Short Calls
We take a look at the other side of the long call, a bearish to neutral tactic known as the short call. Explore the short call in terms of the seller (writer), and the obligations of being ‘short’. We look at the profit and loss diagram of the short call, the risk of assignment, and review the most basic short call strategy, the covered call. We take a look at the other side of the FCX trade.
5 – Long Puts
We roll inverted and explore the most basic bearish tactic, the long put, and how you can make money when a stock falls. We take a look at the profit and loss diagram of the long put and identify the max profit, max loss, and breakeven. We use FCX as our bearish example and how only 3 things can happen to stock and how we can profit using the long put.
6 – Short Puts
The other side of the long put is the short put, a neutral to bullish tactic. We look at what being ‘naked’ means and how it can be potentially dangerous to the seller (writer). Being on the opposite side of the buyer you are ‘short’ and carry risk of assignment. We look at a huge benefit to selling a put – the ability to buy a stock you like at a discount.
7 – Options Indoc Outbrief
In this high energy out brief you’ll learn that Top Gun Options is not for everyone. Investors who join the proprietary Top Gun Options program are a select group who are ready to commit the effort and dedicate the time required to succeed.

Tue, August 03, 2010 Primary Education, 8PM EDT
An introduction to option chains helps to better understand price information. The data is consistent from brokers and internet vendors and the option chain columns are explained including stock, month, bid/ask, volume and more. A discus ion of moneyness for determing which strike to buy or sell breaks down in the money, at the money, and out of the money. This is the relationship between the strike price and the current price of the underlying asset. Intrinsic or real value of an option is calculated and time value concept is explored. Calculations for ITM, ATM and OTM show the importance for increasing probability.
Tue, August 10, 2010 Primary Education, 8PM EDT
The importance of a trade plan is discussed as a discipline tool. The components of this plan are laid out to have an objective approach for each and every trade. An example of Google is used based on our expectations. A directional long call tactic is introduced to build and executed a trading plan. Goldman Sachs is evaluated technically and the expected volatility calculated to select months and strikes. Varying scenarios are evaluated to watch strikes and greeks reactions for different options.
This session began with the How and Why options are priced and the factors that effect them. A brief history of pricing models lays a foundation for the six factors that influence the price of an option. The ITM, ATM and OTM comparison for separate inputs changes in pricing variables. A more in depth discussion of these factors introduces the option “greeks” and sensitivity measures. When buying or selling options this information is used to anticipate how the price will react in varying market conditions. Volatility as a critical input is discussed at length using the bell curve illustration for historical volatility. Implied volatility helps indicate expectations and weather an option is expensive or cheap to select proper trading tactic. This class finishes with an introduction to the VIX and how to determine expected volatility.
Wed, August 11, 2010 Primary Education, 8PM EDT
Put tactics are introduced. A review of long put basics looks at OTM, ITM, and ATM strikes. An IBM option is evaluated using stock technicals, expected volatility and greeks. This information is used to compare strike payoffs and premium action from time and stock price changes. The trade management plan examines the risk control and position moving both for and against us. The protective put as insurance analogy is used to protect stock positions. A strike comparison shows the coverage of this tactic. An example of a significant stock profit in Sandisk looks at different levels of protection and the cost and payoff. Married puts have tax implications that are important to to be aware.

Synthetic Long Stock
By trading long calls and short puts in combination we can create a position that acts just like a long stock position – with all of the risks and rewards. One difference though, which is neither a benefit nor a detriment, is that you do not receive a dividend. But synthetic stock can often times be purchased with a much smaller capital requirement than buying stock on margin.
Synthetic Short Stock
Just the opposite of synthetic long stock, again with all the risks and rewards of a real short stock positions. Both synthetic long and short stock trades can be used by themselves, or used as adjustments to positions.

Tue, August 24, 2010 Intermediate Education
Short calls
We take a look at the other side of the long call, a bearish to neutral tactic known as the short call. Explore the short call in terms of the seller (writer), and the obligations of being ‘short’. We look at the profit and loss diagram of the short call, the risk of assignment, and review the most basic short call strategy, the covered call.
Short puts
The other side of the long put is the short put, a neutral to bullish tactic. We look at what being ‘naked’ means and how it can be potentially dangerous to the seller (writer). Being on the opposite side of the buyer you are ‘short’ and carry risk of assignment. We look at a huge benefit to selling a put – the ability to buy a stock you like at a discount.
Wed, August 25, 2010 Intermediate Education
Bull Call Spread
We look at another bullish tactic that combines a long call and a short call in the same expiration month. Call spreads offer limited reward and limited risk, and also protection from a drop in volatility. Call spreads can also be traded as higher probability trades by moving the spread deeper in the money.
Bear Call Spread
This is just the opposite side of the Bull Call Spread that can be traded when you think a stock is moving lower. Also a limited risk, limited reward tactic, and can be structured as a higher probability trade by placing the strikes out of the money.
Tue, August 31, 2010 Intermediate Education
Bear Put Spread
We cover this tactic for bearish trades. The spread is created with a long put and short put with the same expiration month. Put spreads are limited risk and limited reward just like call spreads. And the spread offers protection from a drop in volatility.
Bull Put Spread
This is just the opposite tactic of the Bear Put Spread. Created by selling one put short and buying a long put, again with the same expiration. Bull Put Spreads also have limited risk and limited reward. This tactic offers a low risk alternative to selling puts naked.
Wed, September 01, 2010 Intermediate Education
Calendar Spreads
This neutral tactic is used for stocks that you expect to stay in a trading range. Money is made with this trade from the time decay. Call Calendar Spreads are created by buying a longer term call and selling a shorter term call with the same strike price. Put Calendars are created the same way. And both tactics offer limited risk and limited reward.

This is an extra class on the topic of collars. The recording can be seen using the link below:
Wed, October 27, 2010 First Advanced Class
The initial advanced options class dove right into volatility, straddles and strangles. The class initiated with an overview of the different types of volatility and how they affect both your risk and your selection of tactics. We reviewed and compared volatility with ATR and BETA offering a three pronged approach to analyzing volatility in its different forms. When employing a neutral tactic, it is paramount to understand the movements of your stock in addition to the implied volatility of the options.
From there we examined the most straightforward volatility tactics, the long straddle and strangle. We went into detail about the limited risk and unlimited reward characteristics of each as well as the effects of the time, volatility, stock price change and gamma of each. Short straddles and strangles are a way to express negative views on volatility and neutrality in stock, which will be explained in the next session. We discussed the less risky alternatives to naked short selling and will get into more depth in session two. We finished the class with several real life examples of the 2 strategies.
Wed, November 03, 2010 Second Advanced Class
This week’s session was all about straddles and strangles. Straddles and strangles are used to express a neutral sentiment in the marketplace. We spent quite a bit of time quantifying exactly what ‘neutral’ means and how straddles and strangles can be used to either express a range bound sentiment or a potentially volatile move in one direction or the other. The Greeks, namely Vega and Theta are extremely important when it comes to straddles and strangles, as they both can have dramatic effects on your P&L. Delta and Gamma play a role when determining not only where you will place your strikes, but also how your position and risk will change with changes in the underlying stock price.
Straddles can also be used to measure the option market’s expected move over earnings. Next Week we will reduce risk by learning butterflies.
Wed, November 10, 2010 Third Advanced Class
Wednesday’s advanced educational session was a detailed discussion on butterflies, in all of their forms. long, short and iron, using both calls and puts. We reviewed not only the risk/reward characteristics of each strategy, but went in depth on the Greeks and behavior of the tactics, while you were in the trade.
Long regular butterflies and Short Irons were the main focus, and we went through several real life trade examples. The limited risk/reward characteristics along with the breakeven levels are important to analyze (visually) before entry.
Using live examples, we formed our trade checklist, from creating our strategic mindset to exiting the trades.
Next week we will explore modifying those trades into broken wing butterflies and ratios.
Wed, November 17, 2010 Fourth Advanced Class
In the fourth Advanced class we learn about broken wing butterflies and begin by reviewing standard butterflies. We cover the changing risk profile and some inside tips on looking at how to choose the best stocks to employ call versus put broken wing butterflies. We cover the Greeks in depth and walk through several real world trade examples from start to finish.
Mon, November 22, 2010 Fifth Advanced Class
In the fifth Advanced class we learn 2 critical tactics: condors and iron condors. We start out by reviewing butterflies and compare the butterfly tactics to condors and iron condors to compare. We cover how these new tactics change our risk profile. We cover both call and put condors/iron condors and when to employ which tactics. We cover the Greeks in depth and walk through several real world trade examples.
Wed, December 01, 2010 Sixth and Final Advanced Class
In this final Advanced class we started by reviewing calendar and vertical spreads and how these tactics morph into a tactic called a diagonal. We discuss how we can use time decay and direction to morph into a credit vertical. We also cover how a diagonal can be a cheap covered call substitute. We cover in detail the criteria we use, especially risk versus reward, and step through several examples in depth.

Kerry Given : Adjusting the Iron Condor

The iron condor options trading strategy is very popular, but it has a dark side. Iron condors are often established with a high probability of success and a correspondingly low probability of loss. But that improbable loss can wipe out months of successful trading profits. Dr. Duke will review the variety of ways the iron condor may be configured, the variety of possible adjustments, and the trade-offs of these adjustment techniques. Trading the iron condor successfully is in fact quite feasible, but robust risk management is the secret. Knowing how to adjust and when to adjust the iron condor is critical for success.

John Ehlers : Effectively Trading the Stochastic Market Structure

Effectively Trading the Stochastic Market Structure (1 DVD Video)

Models of the market structure are critical because they formulate your approach to trading. Random variables are difficult to understand, and several successful market models are described using various approaches. One of the more important concepts is that the market is fractal. This fractal model is used to show why optimum filtering is critical for noise reduction. A unique new SuperSmoother providing optimum filtering is fully described.

The fractal model also includes Spectral Dilation, an effect where cycle swings have different amplitudes. A unique Roofing filter is described that controls the effects of Spectral Dilation, and is further used as the critical component of swing trading indicators. The indicators are then used to show techniques to make them be predictive.

The results of trading systems are also more or less random. Evaluating equity curves and Monte Carlo simulations are described so you can avoid fooling yourself with results that can be just a random event. A portfolio approach to make the probability of an annualized loss be vanishingly small is described.

Ken Calhon : Trade Mapping

Trade Mapping (7 DVD Video)


How professional traders visually have their entries, stops, and price targets firmly in mind before each trade...   and how active traders can use a similar well thought-out approach to figuring out what I call the "Trade Mapping" process, before making a trade (this one "mapping" concept alone is a complete game-changer!).
Quickly being able to figure out what do to at each step of a trade's life, from pre-entry, during the trade, and exiting your position, can potentially make a big difference in how you approach each week's markets.
           
How to map out your "Before-During-After" trading as a thoughtful, defined process.   Think of your trades in these three steps can completely change you from reacting to price moves, to a more in-control process that helps you figure out what to do at each step of your trades. (it's just that good... and important to learn, if you're an active trader).

Why trading on entry signals alone can be devastating to your trading account.   Using software or alerts to just manage the "entry" side of the equation can cost you a fortune, either by a) leaving too much money on the table with premature exits, or b) failing to recognize and exit a losing trade fast, with a small professional-quality stop loss. Trading visually with a quick process that helps you map out how it works, can completely change how you trade the markets.
           
How to pinpoint the top trading setups in minutes, and easily map out how to manage your trades using ATRs, Cups, new "Trade Mapping" tactics and more.   The hallmark of a true trading professional is being able to routinely grind out winning trades, while keeping stops as small as possible. By combing several easy-to-spot patterns, you'll be equipped to manage your trades from start to finish, thanks to my new "Trade Mapping" process you'll be learning about.

Whether you're a stock, emini or forex day or swing trader, these setups and the process you'll be taught, for rapidly "drilling down" to make a trading decision are all vitally important for you to learn.
This is a "must see" trading video series if you're an active stock, forex, e-mini or ETF trader.
