Excessive drawdown is probably one of the biggest causes of trader failure.

So what can we do to ease the pain of drawdowns, sleep better at night and live to trade another day? Andrew Swanscott from Better System Trader is going to discuss 7 practical tips you can use to reduce drawdown in your trading strategies.

Speaker: Neil Godwin

Topic: Medium Term Investing with Long Term Trends

This presentation explains how a medium to long term portfolio can be established and managed. Long term share investors without the skill to read price patterns in the market typically say they will hold their investments for 5yrs to 10 yrs because “nobody can predict market behaviour”. But is this really the best return you can get on your capital or is it a cop-out for not having been able to do better at using technical analysis themselves?

He will reveal tried and tested tools for improving your control, discipline and practice. Wouldn’t it be great if you were aware of your own support and resistance levels? Wouldn’t it be great if you used this information to your financial advantage?

Speaker: Des Bleakley

Topic: How I Trade

Like many ATAA members, Des strives to invest in the stock market in a methodical and systematic manner, minimising discretionary involvement. Over the years he has refined his trading style, through analysis and "trial and (many) errors? to arrive at a system which provides clear stock selection criteria, coupled with entry and exit signals, in a mechanical manner. In this presentation he will describe his strategy, how it has evolved over time, and he will explain how his signals are calculated. In particular he will introduce the TROC indicator, a variant of the Rate of Change (ROC) indicator and show how this is a better measure to use for those who trade. He will also expose the trading results of this system to the members for your critical analysis. 

This talk is practical and real world and shows how one ATAA member approaches trading in the stock market on a daily basis. For those of a like mind, there may be aspects of Des' approach which may appeal to other members.

Speaker: Kalvert Clark

Topic: Anti-Fragile

Previous talks at the ATAA have been on Cycles, Volatility and Planetary Forecasting. Although he was going to talk on these matters again, he realised that there was something more important that needed addressing. He was introduced to the concept of the Black Swan during the March meeting at the ATAA. Following the thoughts of Nassim Nicholas Taleb the author of the Black Swan, it became clear to Kalvert that he should talk about Taleb's ideas on ANTIFRAGILE as they relate directly to risk in the market.

Speaker: Gary Glover

Topic: Stock Market Cycles and Seasonality

Gary will show the importance of understanding Stock Market Cycles, how often they occur and the effect on the market.

1701_Glover, Gary

Wouldn't it be good if we could take a list of stocks (your own stock universe) and sort the list so that the strongest performing stocks (ie. the most bullish) are at the top of the list? And then invest in those strongest stocks in anticipation of the best price performance? We could also note the stocks with a low score near the bottom of the list and avoid them (or remove them from our portfolio).

Many people are familiar with the teachings of Stan Weinstein from his book "Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets". Stan talks about several things, including the importance of the 30 week Moving Average (MA), and noting whether the share price is above or below the MA, and whether the MA is rising or falling. There are many indicator observations like this which we could use to easily identify bullish (or bearish) stocks. But what are they? And how can we use them? Should we use daily charts or weekly? Does this take long to do? Can it be automated?

In this session Robert will describe many technical analysis indicator observations, and a way to attach a useful score value to them, and to subsequently rank a list of stocks by their degree of bullishness. The discussion will also cover the pitfalls to be aware of.

Ranking Stocks using Chart Indicator Features - Robert Brain

Like many traders one of the main requirements that we have when looking for stocks to purchase is that they rise strongly in price to maximise capital gain. Another requirement is that they are well-behaved so that this price rise is smooth and regular rather than thrashing about and triggering stops. A third requirement is that any stocks we own should be financially strong to avoid as far as possible those most likely to crash and burn.

To this end we have created the indicator of Velocity. It measures the rate of price growth based on the compounding rates of price increase from three separate time frames. A second indicator we have called Behaviour, that assesses a type of volatility that is not captured by traditional methods, allows us to select stocks where price growth is smooth. These two indicators, together with criteria that limit us to stocks that are financially sound form the basis of several systems that we use to build our portfolios.

Using Velocity and Behaviour to Select Stocks for your Portfolio - Bernard Chapman

Trading technology has evolved from the preserve of stockbrokers and major trading institutions with their large Trading Rooms, to a wide range of cost-effective applications running on Home PCs and laptops, through to now a myriad of applications for today's smart phones and tablets.

Relatively low cost 3G and 4G services plus quite common Wi-Fi data services have made trading on mobile platforms a worldwide phenomenon.

This presentation will extend and build upon the July 2016 version of this presentation. It will only summarize what has driven some of this change (please refer to the 2016 presentation) and then focus on a few of the latest (2017) application options which are readily available on most Smart Phones. The idea is to provide similar functions to the Windows Applications below.

Windows Applications David presently uses, or has used, include: Ninjatrader, ButtonTrader, Interactive Brokers TWS, WebIRESS, CMCMarkets, Omnitrader, CQG, eSignal. Numerous Websites, Windows, Mac Tools, iPhone, iPad & PDA style apps.

The March of Trading Technology - 2017 - David Coe

Volume At Price (VAP) is an extremely useful, easy-to-use visual tool that confirms other visual indicators. It has not been given much coverage in the field of Technical Analysis. Paul will outline both the theory behind the indicator and its practical application.

Session 2: Options, like sharks, are feared because they are largely misunderstood. Paul believes that options trading should be a part of any portfolio. Paul will be demonstrating some of the proprietary tools that have been developed by Enhance Your Options that makes the understanding of options behaviour and strategies a much less arduous task.

Volume at Price: Not All Prices are Equal - Paul McLaren

Selling naked puts is a very popular option strategy which can be used by either a conservative investor or an aggressive trader. This strategy can create a steady stream of cash flow when it is properly implemented. But if you use it in a wrong way it can lead you to disaster. That is why it is very important to learn it in details before you implement it in practice. So, please attend this event to discover all aspects of selling naked puts.

What we will cover during this presentation:

-         When and why we use this strategy.

-         How we choose an underlying stock for this strategy.

-         How we choose a correct duration of an option contract.

-         How we choose a proper strike price according to your risk tolerance.

-         What returns can we expect from using this strategy.

-         Risks and limitations of this strategy and how to reduce them.

Pros and Cons of Selling Naked Puts - Igor Vasiliev

Heiken-Ashi Candlesticks look just like normal Japanese Candlesticks, so how are they different?

In the 1700s, when Munehisa Homma developed Heiken-Ashi Candlesticks, what were his objectives in designing a modified version of candlesticks?

Some traders (and in particular FX traders) claim that Heiken-Ashi Candlesticks are a very powerful tool towards identifying the direction of the trend.

In this presentation, we will look at how Heiken-Ashi candlesticks are constructed, and why they offer a very different approach to normal Candlesticks towards making your trading decisions.
