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.
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.
Setting a stop-loss and committing to it will provide a level of safety when trading with a new system. The ETF moves in 15 second intervals during the trading day. A lot can happen very fast. A person who is trying to figure out a new system, and monitor a sector at the same time can miss opportunities to move at the most opportune time.
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.
When you are looking at the different types of ETF trading systems that are available, they will have a risk rating. A person who is just beginning ETF trading will be more successful working in sectors that have clear trends to track and have a risk rating that is medium low to medium. There may be some low risk systems, I just haven't seen any.
Any system that has trend following in some part of it is a good way to learn the structure of ETF trading and make effective use of the trends that are happening in a sector. Many new traders start with an ETFA (Exponential Moving Average) system. This system is a medium low to medium risk, easy to use system that basically is about trend following. The trader sets parameters for fast EMAs and slow EMAs and when the lines cross, you move. The system is most effective with RTH, SMH, SPY (long only), XLE, XLF, and TLT.
Tracking a system to see how effective it is will be a huge help when learning systems and strategies. By tracking before trading a person can develop the knowledge and confidence they need to make effective trades proactively. Another advantage of tracking before trading is that a person can track several systems on the same sector at the same time and see the effectiveness of each system for easy comparison. - 23210
