Trading-The Basics

Craig Galea — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:48:58 +0000

Trading can be a highly lucrative profession, but what assets do successful traders have in common? Exactly what skills are necessary to perform the job well? It turns out the skills required to be a proficient trader are the same as those required to stand out in any field.
One needs to possess a thorough understanding and keen knowledge of the subject matter. A strong work ethic and self discipline are also necessary as you devote time to learning a new skill set. But ultimately, your desire to succeed will be your most valued asset.
The Green Cube Trading System describes the following three key fundamentals, all of which must be mastered by the successful trader:
• Knowledge of the material (trade tactics);
• Sound psychological base;
• Solid risk management strategy;
These fundamentals could be compared to the building blocks of a bicycle. The back wheel (knowledge) consists of trade tactics, technical analysis, reading charts, understanding of the index you are trading, prices, etc. The front wheel (risk management) consists of stop loss management, target design, runner management, risk & capital management, etc. Finally, the operator (trader) puts the wheels in motion. They must possess a sound psychological base, a strong sense of direction, good balance, discipline, patience and a strong work ethic. All three components are interdependent. Each must be mastered to ensure your success.

Trading Tactics are the Key

Craig Galea — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:14:45 +0000

In developing the Green Cube Trading System I have developed a complete system; all you do is read the system’s mechanics and add the discipline to follow it. The Green Cube Trading System covers the entire process of trading, incorporating sound trader psychology, trading tactics, and solid risk management.
The Green Cube Trading System is not an autopilot system that simply feeds into the greed, laziness and primitive thinking that leads to trading failure. This is a rule-based system to be executed by disciplined professional traders. This rule-based approach helps traders plan and execute trades according to strict and clear cut rules. Unlike some technical methods or fundamental analysis, our system defines a set of rules that determine all trades, leaving minimal discretion to the trader.
The Green Cube Trading System is an algorithm. It is a step-by- step procedure, a mechanical formula.
The Green Cube trading system requires no overnight positions. Overnight positions present

Trading=Freedom+Independence+Income

Although you should enjoy trading, it is not a hobby. The lone goal of trading is to make money: there is no other objective. Therefore trading must be treated like any other business.
All of the important ingredients that go into creating a successful business are relevant to the trader. Mundane tasks such as bookkeeping, recordkeeping, accounting, organization, discipline, hard work and focus are all important.
The first 3 month period (30 days, 60 days, 90 days) in any business are challenging, and tasks that will seem simple in future months will be time consuming at first. These must be made “second nature” as quickly as possible, and this is the purpose of the Quick Start Guide. Using this simple plan for the first 30 days of trading, you will be able to master the fundamentals of successful trading in your first month.
One of the key objectives of trading is the preservation of capital, and this is especially critical in the first months of trading. Therefore (as you will see below) you will be trading only 1 contract the first month. Mistakes are going to be made (that is almost certain) but mistakes will be limited to small amounts of money when trading only 1 contract. If you can successfully manage 1 contract, you will soon be trading 10 and generating significant revenue.

The life of a successful trader is one of freedom and financial independence, but a sound psychology is at the core of all successful traders. Professional traders understand the importance of controlling emotions and treating trading as a business.

The market does not know you exist, and you can do nothing to influence it or control it. Similar to a sailor on the open water who cannot control the weather or the ocean- only his actions can be controlled. Control your actions and behavior, and ultimately your success as a professional trader will come.

Remember: trading is not gambling, nor is it an effort to derive excitement. Trading is a profession.

The Green Cube Trading System appreciates the importance of the trader’s mindset, and provides advice and guidelines on mastering the mental side of trading. From the patience and discipline required to trade by our system, to an explanation of how your mental skills interact with the trading rules and technical analysis, you will gain the traits that separate the winning traders from the gamblers.

Trading System Great Results

There is no magic wand to create successful traders, no holy grail, and no secret Wall Street insider manual. The goal of The Green Cube Trading System is to present you with a step-by-step guide and a mechanical procedure to trade the market successfully.
Your objective is to read the complete Green Cube Trading System (this manual, the Quick Start Guide, the Terminology Guide, and your tactics of choice) and thoroughly understand everything that is presented. Trading is a profession and like any profession, hard work is required.
This Trading Manual is written in an easy to understand format. Unlike a book which tends to be subjective, this system is purely mechanical. In fact, the trader is encouraged to “check their emotion at the door”, and follow these mechanical rules at all times!
The manual is intended to present you with all the information you need to make a great living trading independently from home. This can be accomplished in only 4 hours per day, but can be used all day if the trader prefers.
We will begin with a few charts taken from the TradeStation software trading environment. These will be used at first to illustrate general concepts, and throughout the manual to illustrate topics as we introduce them.
Also, please refer to the web site (www.greencubetraders.com) as there are many free resources available!

The goal of the Green Cube Trading System is to provide you with a step-by-step guide and a mechanical procedure to trade the market successfully. When traders abide by the system’s clear, strict rules, much of the guess work is removed from the trading equation.

The Green Cube Trading System employs technical analysis for effective intraday trading. Technical analysis is the study of past financial market data, primarily through the use of technical indicators. Technical indicators are used to forecast price trends and to develop sound trading strategies.

The Green Cube Trading System provides a number of technical indicators:

The Green Trigger is an exponential moving average;
The Yellow Zone incorporates the Bollinger band analysis technique;
The Green Wave is a custom setting for the Commodity Channel Index;

All have been customized and tweaked for use with The Green Cube Trading System, and were developed to compliment the system’s fundamentals and financial instruments.

Risk Management

Craig Galea — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:37:12 +0000

A sound risk management strategy is absolutely critical, yet most systems on the market offer the trader very little support in this area. Losing traders spend too much time on technical aspects and not enough time on this critical element. Risk management is one of the key skills of any successful trader, along with their Technical Analysis and a sound Trader Pyschology.

The Green Cube Trading System features a comprehensive risk management strategy as one of the core fundamentals of the system. This is not just a high-level strategy, but a specific alogrithm that maximizes conservation of capital—the number one risk management responsibility. Specific instructions are provided for:

Understanding risk capital;
Stop-loss management;
Runner management, and how to ladder out of a trade;
How to trade after a win or a loss;
Trade goals for the day, and when to stop trading;
Risk anaylsis and metrics for how much capital to invest in a trade;

With The Green Cube Trading System, you won’t trade more often. You’ll trade smarter—and for a profit.
