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.
Most successful ETF traders agree on two things. The learning curve for ETF trading is about two years. And, if you get through the first year with a 0% loss you’ve had a really good first year. With that in mind, setting realistic goals for the first two years will help to keep you grounded and out of hot water with trading. Creating a safety net that allows you to try different systems and strategies without suffering losses is a great way to learn the intricacies of ETF trading.
The safety net will help you to stay afloat in a very fast moving trading medium. The ETF is moving at 15 second intervals. If a person has committed to the wrong system, in the wrong sector, they can lose gains before they have finished their first cup of coffee. So, setting a stop-loss will help you to avoid those kinds of losses.
Another helpful net when beginning will be to set buy and sell points or set take profit prices. This will be a huge help until you have got a good knowledge base of how ETF trading works. Once you know how to do the technical and historical analysis that makes any system and strategy you use work more effectively, you will be able to have less structure in your safety net. But until you feel very comfortable with ETF trading, the stronger your safety net is, the more consistent your gains will be.
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.
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.
