Several months ago, I stopped using my favorite charting platform - Meta Trader 4 at the time - to do all my technical analysis on TradingView. After being asked on several occasions, I thought it was time for me to come up with a TradingView review and to discuss the things I like and don't like about the online charting platform. What Is TradingView? To start with, I just want to ensure I eliminate the confusion about what TradingView is and isn't. In short, it's an online portal with charts...but it doesn't stop there. TradingView is an entire social/trader's network where anyone can publish a trade idea. For some notable people to follow (if you have any recommendations, let me know!): Akil Stokes - https://www.tradingview.com/u/Akil_Stokes/ Jason Graystone - https://www.tradingview.com/u/J_Graystone/ Etienne Crete (yeah, that's me) - https://www.tradingview.com/u/EtienneCrete1/ The first thing I must point out is that TradingView is accessible pretty much anywhere (by that I mean it isn't blocked in China, and you can access it even from a mobile device). 3 Reasons To Use TradingView Ability To Draw Anything On Any Chart I'm a really visual person, and I felt kind of limited by the idea that I could only draw horizontal/vertical lines in Meta Trader 4. I know there are a couple of different shapes and other tools in Meta Trader, but TradingView is way ahead. Whenever I want to explain something to someone or draw for my own reference (where I think the price will go), I take the pen inside TradingView to draw freely. Not only that but literally all the trading tools you could ever think of placing on your chart are there. Not that I'm a fan of complicating things, but I know people who have complicated trading styles. Although it can be challenging to draw with a computer mouse, you end up getting used to it, and that allows you not to forget anything anymore. Ability To Split Your Screen Into Many Synced Up Charts Depending on your trading style, you might need to look at multiple time frames prior to entering a trade.  That can be a real pain! Often you need to click a button and switch back and forth between the time frames. Or, you can open up multiple charts in advance, in which case your drawings/indicators will only appear on one chart. TradingView makes looking at the timeframes much easier by allowing you to see multiple charts on the same screen. What's even better is that your drawings can be synced up on all charts if you choose to.  Then, whenever you look at various currency pairs from your watchlist, you can lock the timeframes you selected so that they remain the same whatever you look at.  That's probably my favorite thing in TradingView! But there's one more thing I want to mention...   Accountability By Publishing Your Trade Ideas Accountability is precious. I've personally seen traders significantly improved when they started sharing what they were doing with other traders.  Some experienced traders even go as far as sharing their stats every month with their wife or husband. That way they feel accountable to someone, and it pushed them to work harder. What's great is that, in the case you don't have anyone to keep you accountable, the online world becomes an amazing resource. TradingView has a social function through which you can publish trade ideas. Those ideas are images of potential trades based on your analysis. Publishing those trade ideas forces you to make sure that you respect the analysis part of your plan.  And the fact that TradingView is such a big platform makes it very likely that people will interact with your trade ideas, perhaps creating an opportunity for you to learn from other traders as well.   3 Reasons Not To Use TradingView You Have To Pay For Some Basics Features As TradingView offers some amazing features, a fraction of them is reserved for paid members. For instance, a screen with multiple charts will require you to purchase a Pro subscription.  For me, that's not much of a problem because I expect I'll need to pay if I want a very solid tool. However, it has to be mentioned as one of the reasons new traders may abstain from using TradingView. You'll Need To Have 2 Platforms At All Times TradingView by itself isn't a trading platform through which you can place trades. While it is true that TradingView associated with some brokers like Oanda and FXCM, in most cases you won't be able to enter your trades from the charting platform itself. That means you'll be required (pretty much all the time) to use your broker's platform in addition to TradingView. It can be a bit confusing at first, especially when you're used to doing everything with one platform. Charts Don't Always Sync Up One of the troubles I have seen on TradingView is that you never really know whether the drawings you made on your chart got saved. Sometimes, closing your browser too fast makes you lose all your recent analysis work.    TradingView Plans Right now, TradingView offers 4 plans with different advantages.  Although I am aware that these plans might change, here's a quick breakdown of what they include at the moment: Free: good for one chart at a time with indicators. Pro: great option to start and add a few more features to your experience (at $9.95/month) Pro Plus: pretty much all the features a trader could need and it's unlimited (that's the plan I'm on) Premium: includes a couple of fancy features such as SMS alerts   Is TradingView For You? For me, I think it became a must. When I travel, there's no way I'll run Meta Trader 4 on my Mac as it consumes way too much battery. Having a website I can easily access makes it easier to load a chart quickly and close it whenever I want. I can draw anything and share it with "anyone" (I include my trading journal in 'anyone'). However, if you're always trading at home or on a PC, TradingView might not mean the same thing. It's up to you to see whether you'll truly benefit from it - although I doubt you won't. You Turn... I hope this TradingView review has helped you understand what that tool was all about. I could go on and on talking about the things I like about the platform, but there are also other things not to like. That's why I need your help! Are you an active user of TradingView? What do you like/dislike about it? Comment below and we can chat! Disclosure: I am not paid by TradingView to write this post. I just love the tool :) This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a small commission if you choose to purchase something from a link we post. Don’t worry, it won’t cost you anything. This small percentage just helps me produce more content and shows me you care about what I do. I'll always appreciate your support!

¡Muy buenos días a todos! Bueno, pues el podcast de hoy es un poco catastrofista para algunos, y para otros ya sabreis de que estoy hablando. Hoy voy a hablar de una de las cosas más temidas por los traders, por las grandes gestoras y por los gobiernos en general. Estoy hablando de los cisnes negros. La teoría del cisne negro está explicada a través de la aparición de una serie de sucesos negativos y inesperados en la economía. Estos sucesos son de gran impacto y es por eso que digo que pocos economistas quieren oír hablar de ello. Les aterra pensar en los últimos y en sus consecuencias. Hoy me gustaria repasar los últimos cisnes negros y ver como han ocurrido y porqué. Pues dado este improbable suceso, pero que a veces pasa en los mercados financieros, tengo que decir que lo que más me “gusta” es que son improbables e inesperados. No os penseis que soy un cínico y que quiero que ocurran constantemente, sino que digo que me gustan porque te hace demostrar que no todo es bonito, que no todo es bueno en este mundo y que para muchas personas que estan haciendo malas praxis, un cisne negro puede colocarlos en su lugar. Ahora veremos porque lo digo, pero sobretodo, tened en cuenta que lo más importante a tener en cuenta en un cisne negro, es que todos y cada uno de nosotros tenemos que saber y pensar que no estamos exentos de eventualidades inesperadas. Por eso tenemos que estar constantemente alerta y estar como cuando los neandertales salian de la cueva a cazar. Muchas veces por suerte volvías sin un rasguño y con la comida recién cazada, pero a veces, por sucesos inesperados, sales más malparado de lo que esperamos y eso nos hace estar atentos a todo de forma constante. Pues bien, voy a desempolvar los libros de historia y me adentro a explicar los últimos cisnes negros de la historia: 1. El lunes 19 de Octubre de 1987 se produjo un crash en toda regla. Uno de los más importantes de la historia nucna visto. El índice Down Jones, uno de los más seguidos por todos los traders actualmente, cayó un -23% en una única sesión. Increíble. Fue tan rápido que no dió tiempo ni a ejecutar los stops de seguridad de las posiciones, provocando un desliz entre el precio del SL y el precio de salida real. Esto hizo que mucha gente acabara con su cuenta a 0. 2. Atentados de las torres gemelas del 11 de Setiembre del 2001. Dado el ataque más bestia producido en la capital bursátil americana, la bolsa americana cayó en picado. Con ella, la acompañaron muchas otras bolsas ante el desplome no solo de las torres gemelas sino de todas las bolsas a nivel mundial. Las divisas, los índices e incluso acciones de empresas se desplomaron produciendo así que mucha gente que tenia posiciones alcistas y que obviamente, no se esperaba el atentado, vieran como se iban a 0 sus cuentas. 3. En el Julio del 1997, en Tailandia sucedió el desplome de su moneda (el baht tailandés), lo que produjo que las piezas del dominó empezaran a caer una tras otra. Fluctió el Baht, afectando así las divisas en Malasia, en Indonesia y en Filipinas. Esto afectó a otras divisas asiáticas produciendo una avalancha de caídas seguidas que hicieron que toda asia tuviera que replantearse su economía. El colapso que se produjo en asia fue espectacular y eso hizo que el FMI (Fondo monetario internacional) disponiera de paquetes de ayuda para todos los afectados y aunque fue insuficiente para tapar el gran agujero del 97, pudiera parar la sangría que se había producido durante pocas horas. La verdad, desde entonces, partes de asia han pasado a ser países denominados pobres y no con proyección al desarrollo. 2. En el 2008: La caída de uno de las compañías más grandes de la historia americana: Lehman Brothers cae. Este gigante financiero se dedicaba a la gestión de inversión, banca y otros servicios financieros que no dejaban de ser uno de los abanderados del sueño americano. Pues se esfumó en cosa de horas. El 15 de Setiembre del 2008, se declaró en quiebra técnica por la salida en masa de sus clientes por la devaluación de los activos de la compañía. Antes, por eso, la crisis en la empresa era evidente. Habían de despedir a 1.500 trabajadores porque no daba más de sí la empresa y a parte, porque se veían con el agua al cuello. Fue entonces, en su caída, cuando el huracán envenendao se apoderó de las bolsas. El miedo que produjo que uno de las entidades más grandes, importantes y con prestigio de USA se desplomara, hizo que todo fuera un caos. Todo cayó. La divisa americana, sus índices y muchas empresas se vieron en caída con mayor o menor medida arrastrado por este gigante financiero. La verdad es que nadie se lo veía a venir, ya que aunque hay momentos buenos y malos en algunas entidades financieras, siempre te imaginas que saldrán de esta, pero no fue el caso. 3. El más reciente de todos. En el enero del 2015. Presenciamos (yo incluido) la caída impresionante del Franco suizo. La caída más espectacular que yo he visto nunca y además, la vi en directo. Se produjo a través de que el Banco Nacional de Suiza (BNS) anunciara en una rueda de prensa y sin previo aviso, que abandonaba el cambio mínimo que tenía fijado en 1,2 francos suizos por cada euro y volvía a bajar los tipos de interés medio punto más. Pasando del -0,25% al -0,75%. Esto lo hacia para que bajara la entrada de capital al país alpino. Esto produjo una sacudida a nivel histórico y produjo caídas históricas en las principales bolsas mundiales y sobretodo en las divisas donde el franco suizo participa. La caída supuso más de 3.000 pips para la divisa con el dolar. Para poneros en situación, es más o menos 300 veces lo que se mueve normalmente. Una brutalidad inesperada. Las consecuencias de este cisne negro fueron directos: quiebra de algunos brokers, regulados (como Alpari UK, conocidisimo en el sector y regulado por la FCA inglesa) y no regulados o incluso Hedge funds. Muchos de los brokers perdieron muchísimo dinero, como IG Markets se rumorea que perdió cerca de 30 Millones de euros o uno de los brokers más grandes como es FXCM, con una pérdida de más de 200 millones de dolares. Este fue lo que se denominó como el nuevo crack del 1987. ¿Porqué quiebran estos brokers? Pues la respuesta es por la irresponsabilidad. Por eso decía antes que me gusta de vez en cuando un barrido. Ya que limpia a la gente que está haciendo las cosas mal y que no es previsora ante ocasiones como esta. Cuando un broker tiene mucha exposición con una divisa concreta o con un activo concreto, está expuesto a que si le pasa algo a este activo, quede totalmente a la deriva de lo que se haga con ese activo. En el caso que sea positivo, irá genial. Pero en el caso que sea negativo, está perdido. Y es lo que pasó con el franco suizo. Mucha gente (cuando digo mucha, es MUCHA) tenia posiciones a favor del franco suizo y eso hizo que cuando se fuera para abajo, es decir, en su contra, directa o indirectamente en su moneda o en activos que afectaron a la noticia de la moneda, lo que se produjo fue que esos clientes perdieran gran cantidad de dinero. Pero ¿qué problema hay con eso, sim siempre digo que el 95% de los traders pierden, no? Si, efectivamente, pero lo que no se tiene en cuenta que cuando hay un hecho inesperado y no estas preparado para cortar las pérdidas de tus clientes en cuestión de segundos o incluso menos, quedas totalmente expuesto a que con tu capital, tengas que responder por las perdidas ocasionadas por las operaciones en contra que tenian estos traders. Y por tanto, que si habían centenares de posiciones en contra del franco suizo, todas ellas no fuero cortadas de raíz en el proveedor de liquidez del broker, ocasionando que aunque los clientes perdieran la cuenta, el broker no cortara las posiciones de estos clientes y la herida no solo afectara a los clientes sino al capital del propio broker. Es lo que yo digo, poca preparación por parte del broker. Una insensatez, la verdad. Ante todo esto, lo que siempre os recomiendo a todos vosotros, son puntos claves que creo que tenéis que tener en cuenta todos. Y es que como siempre os recomiendo: 1. No uséis solo un broker. Os he dejado aquí los brokers que yo creo que son más importantes ahora mismo. Recuerdo e insisto que no soy comisionador de ellos. Yo no solo uso estos brokers, uso más, pero no los recomiendo ya que no me parecen suficientemente buenos. Solo os muestro los que creo que son los mejores para vosotros. Los teneis para los suscriptores en las cápsulas. 2. Diversificad no solo en brokers si no que también en activos. Si sois buenos en diferentes activos, aprovechad y no pongáis todos los huevos en una misma cesta. 3. Ponderar el riesgo. No hagáis como los brokers y no dejéis exposiciones al aire. Sed conscientes de cuanto os jugáis por operación y en riesgo de cartera a nivel global. Que sepáis en todo momento cuanto os arriesgáis y estáis dispuestos a perder. 4. Invertir en productos que conozcáis y que no solo os hayan recomendado. Que los hayáis conocido antes vaya. Que sepáis que producto es y que previamente le hayáis podido sacar jugo y beneficio en una cuenta demo antes que en real. 5. Sobretodo. Los cisnes negros son para que estemos alertas. Es lo que digo yo, el rebote del mercado. Cuando hay malas praxis, el mercado pone a sitio a la gente que se lo merece. Espero que no seáis vosotros los que os lo merezcáis, ya sea por incumplir las reglas o por no seguir las vuestras. ¡Y nada más por hoy!

¡Muy buenos días a todos! Hoy vengo a hablaros de las plataformas que disponemos en el trading. Estas herramientas las podemos encontrar en el día a día de cualquier operador y siempre de forma innovadora. Es decir, que siempre estaremos probando técnicas nuevas, estrategias nuevas y probando elementos que nos ayuden a sacar mayor partido a las inversiones. Por eso esta vez vengo a hablaros de varios tipos de herramientas y no de todas, ya que no acabaríamos nunca. Estas son, por ejemplo: – Plataformas para operar: son programas o páginas web que nos permiten introducir las operaciones a mercado. Es decir, que nos permiten enviar las órdenes al broker. Cada vez hay menos plataformas así ya que la gente no entiende que no se unifique este tipo de plataformas con las de graficación. – Plataformas de graficación: son las plataformas que nos permiten visualizar el precio de un activo financiero para decidir qué hará ese precio concreto. Como ejemplo, tenemos a Metatrader 4, Ninja Trader o TradeOrSwim entre muchos otros. También hay las plataformas propias de los brokers como por ejemplo MarketScope de FXCM y TradeStation que a parte de ser el nombre del broker, es el nombre de la plataforma. – Plataformas de análisis de la cuenta: son páginas web o software que se instala en el ordenador que te permiten saber: beneficios y pérdidas de la cuenta, puntos realizados a lo largo del día así como su porcentaje en cuanto a la cuenta o comparar entre diferentes días, meses o años. Es decir, te analiza absolutamente toda la cuenta y por tanto, tu operativa haciendo una foto de todo el estado actual de la cuenta. Esto permite que puedas tener estadísticas y conocimiento en todo momento de tu trabajo realizado para poder mejorar, saber donde eres fuerte y donde eres débil y poder ir a más en tu inversión. Como ejemplo de esto tenemos plataformas web como MyFXBook, FXBlue o FXStat que te permiten conectar una cuenta de Metatrader 4 u otro software y te permite hacer este análisis de forma instantánea. Por otra parte tenemos programas que se instalan como el Strategy Quant que es más avanzado que las plataformas web pero es de pago. Este te permite incluso crear tus carteras y analizar de muchas maneras diferentes tus operaciones. – Plataforma de alertas: son normalmente páginas web o apps para móvil que te avisan mediante mensajes, avisos o correos electrónicos de que puedes hacer alguna cosa en el mercado, como por ejemplo una posible entrada, una posible salida, una entrada institucional en un activo concreto, es decir, es un avisador que va investigando el mercado de forma constante y que lo que produce es una alerta para que tu decidas qué hacer. El ejemplo más típico de esto es la venta de alertas de trading. Estas alertas son entradas y salidas a mercado que te permiten poder hacer trading bajo tu responsabilidad, es decir, que un grupo de personas te avisan que hay un activo donde es muy buena oportunidad entrar (tanto sea en largo como en corto) y que puedes decidir si haces la operación o no. Es un servicio que normalmente se paga y que tiene la finalidad de enseñar en qué puntos es bueno entrar en el mercado y en muchas ocasiones, estas alertas van acompañadas de un porqué, es decir, de una pequeña explicación de porqué esta entrada. – Plataforma social trading: es la plataforma de moda durante los últimos años. Se trata de un sistema donde los traders hacen un ranking. Este ranking puedes ver sus estadísticas, su operativa, su riesgo por operación y ver el beneficio que ha obtenido. – Plataforma scanner: es un sistema de avisos de cuando pasan cosas. Es decir, son programas, muchas veces son plataformas de graficación, donde el trader pone unos parámetros concretos y le dice a la plataforma que cuando pase una serie de cosas le avise. Pongamos un ejemplo: cuando el precio de la acción del Santander, que ahora mismo está a 19,47€ sobrepase los 20€, me avise. Entonces la plataforma me envía una notificación avisándome que este precio ya ha sido rebasado y que por tanto, se tiene que actuar de alguna manera. A lo mejor el trader pone esta configuración del scanner para que le diga cuando tiene que revisar de nuevo el activo, o porque cree que una vez llegado a este punto, la acción del Santander va a subir muchísimo. Cada trader lo configura como quiere y es que hay tantísimas posibles configuraciones en este tipo de programas, que te permiten hacer muchas cosas. ¡Y ya está! ¡Este ha sido el último podcast del año! ¡Si queréis escribirme o ver los cursos que voy a lanzar el próximo año, no os cortéis! Y mientras tanto, os invito a subscribiros al canal y a valorarmelo con 5 estrellas en iTunes y me gustas en iVoox. ¡Muchas gracia a todos! ¡Buen fin de año! ¡Hasta el 2017! La entrada 25.

The Development Of An Automated Trading System w/ Shaun Overton Watch the video interview! Episode 36 of the Desire To Trade Podcast features Shaun Overton, the automated trading system developer also founder of One Step Removed. Shaun started in the forex industry in 2005 working as a broker at FXCM. He led the sales effort for an automated trading fund, which led to his interest into automated trading. He then went on to create his own systems that now allow him to live off them. At the opposite of what I believed, Shaun says developing an automated trading system isn't so complicated. One must learn how to program first. Then, there's a clear process, described during the interview, anyone can follow.  Shaun spends his days researching. This is a passion for him, but his goal is to create more systems that produce positive results. He shared about the exact things he's looking at and the sort of system he has developed. Although this podcast episode appears fairly technical, there's something that can be learned by any trader. Both automated system traders and manual traders must backtest their trading plan. One of the common problem consists of backtesting only for a restricted period of time and optimizing the system for that period. The world of automated can be highly fascinating for traders with an interest for statistics and programming. For more on that topic, I recommend listening to DTTP 011: The Fascinating World of Automated Trading and checking what Shaun is doing at One Step Removed. What’s covered in the podcast? What it's like to be an automated system trader Examples of factors predicting the movement of a currency pair  The steps to develop an automated trading system The biggest mistakes made when developing an automated trading system What type of broker works best for automated system traders Best resources to learn to program And so much more...
