Track ‘n Trade Live Review

strategy back-testing and feel comfortable with the performance of your strategy, the last step is to go live and let the Track ‘n Trade software start automatically executing your trades’ strategies, which can be done in both your real-money account and you simulated trading account. One of the best things about the Autopilot Plug-in is that it is very easy to operate. Unlike many of the other automated trading systems, the Autopilot Plug-in for Track ‘n Trade does not require any computer programming, which means that practically anyone should be able to quickly start implementing their trading ideas. Lastly, the Autopilot Plug-in is completely customizable, allowing you to specify multiple different Autopilot settings, which includes both indicator settings and entry/exit settings. For example, you are able to specify the settings of the technical indicator(s) being used in your Autopilot trading system (you are able to specify up to two indicators, where one indicator is the “primary” indicator and the other indicator is the “conditional” indicator), the times that you want your system to trade (which includes the time of the day and the days of the week), and the type of order that is placed (i.e., limit order, stop order, trailing stop, jump stop, etc.). If you aren’t sure what setting is the best and would like to select the settings that had the best performance over your analysis period, the Autopilot Plug-in has a “Q-Calc” button (“Q-Calc” stands for “Quick Calculation”) that will quickly optimize most of the various Autopilot system settings. Candlestick Auto-Recognition Plug-in The Candlestick Auto-Recognition Plug-in automatically recognizes multiple different candlestick chart patterns (ranging from the Harami pattern to the Evening Star pattern), quickly highlighting those patterns so that you don’t have to spend time looking for them. Since the size the candlestick that is needed for certain candlestick patterns can vary, depending on which market you are analyzing, each of the candlestick patterns has user-definable settings that allow you to specify exactly what you are looking for. Additionally, the Candlestick Auto- Recognition Plug-in is fully integrated with the Autopilot Plug-in so you are able to select your favorite candlestick pattern and place trades automatically as soon as it occurs. This also means that you are able to use the “Q-Calc” button to find what candlestick setting had the best performance over your analysis period, which is a great feature to have when you aren’t completely sure which setting has had the best performance, historically. Seasonals Plug-in The Seasonals Plug-in is used to determine the seasonality of the markets that you trade and it includes the Seasonal Trend indicator window, Market Probability indicator window, and the Historical Averages chart overlay. The Seasonal Trend indicator window gives you the ability to quickly determine the seasonal bias of the markets that you are trading. You are able to quickly compare the current price action of the market to its own historical average price action (i.e., seasonal price action), in order to help you make more informed trading decisions. The Market Probability indicator window, on the other hand, displays the historical directional probability of the market that you are trading (i.e., the historical probability that a given trading day will be either bullish or bearish). Lastly, the Historical Averages chart overlay is a chart overlay that displays the average historical price in the same window as the price bars so that you are able to compare the current price to the average historical price. The Seasonals Plug-in is only available for daily charts. Commitment of Traders Plug-in The Commitment of Traders Plug-in gives you an idea of what each of the main groups of market participants (i.e. Large Speculators, Commercial Traders, and Small Speculators) are buying and selling by displaying a color-coded histogram that shows you the “volume direction” of each group, helping to identify volume and position changes from one period to the next. This plug-in is completely customizable, letting you specify exactly how you would like both the Commitment of Traders indicator window and the Commitment of Traders buy and sell indicator arrows displayed. Although The Commitment of Traders Plug-in is now available in both Track ‘n Trade futures applications, Live and EOD, the CFTC only provides data for end-of-day charts. Track ‘n Trade Live Trading Platforms and Charting Software are offered as a free 14-day trial.

When logging in to Track ‘n Trade Live, you have the option of logging into a “real” account or a “demo” account. The “real” account option logs you into your real-money trading account and will allow you to place real-money trades, whereas the “demo” account option logs you into your simulated trading account and will allow you to place simulated trades. Lastly, in order to help you get started, there is a wealth of education to help you get up-to-speed in no time. Once you are ready to start analyzing charts and researching potential trades with Track ‘n Trade Live, you will be able to back test your strategies with large historical databases and then make trading decisions with live streaming data. Track ‘n Trade Live also has multiple different charting options, where you can select from any increment of one minute charts, plus, daily charts, weekly charts, monthly charts and range charts, and this is just one of the many ways that Track ‘n Trade Live is highly customizable. Other ways that you are able to customize the platform include selecting from more color options that you could possibly imagine, choosing your favorite type of price bar (e.g., OHLC, HLC, close, open, and candlestick), scaling each individual chart horizontally and vertically (or simply selecting the “autoscale” option), adding or removing buy/sell indicator arrows, and basically every other software feature customization that you could possibly need. After you have decided which trade to enter into, you will be able to place your order (real-money or simulated) with the Track ‘n Trade Live Drag ‘n Drop order placement, where you can select from either a limit order, market order or stop order. Once your order is filled, closing out your position is just as easy as it was to enter into your position (i.e., you can also use the Drag ‘n Drop order placement feature to place a sell order, which can also be either a limit order, market order or stop order), and, if you need to exit your positions more quickly, you also have the ability to exit all of the open positions for the current chart or exit all open positions within an individual Track ‘n Trade Live platform. In addition to LIVE Futures, LIVE Forex and LIVE Stocks, there are also LIVE Options (Futures), which can either be used to increase leverage or to manage risk. In addition to LIVE Options, the Track ‘n Trade Live platform also has multiple specialty plug-ins, which includes the Bulls ‘n Bears Advantage Plug-in, Autopilot Plug-in, Candlestick Auto-Recognition Plug-in, Seasonals Plug-in and Commitment of Traders Plug-in. Track ‘n Trade Live Plug-ins: Bulls ‘n Bears Advantage Plug-in The proprietary Bulls ‘n Bears Advantage Plug-in includes both the Bulls ‘n Bears indicator and the Advantage Lines indicator. The Bulls ‘n Bears indicator is a color-coded indicator that changes the price bars to either red (bearish), yellow (neutral) or bullish (green), and displays both bullish and bearish indicator arrows, identifying both entry and exit points, respectively. The Advantage Lines indicator is an indicator that uses two “Advantage Lines” to identify entry and exits points (based on two customizable period settings), which are displayed with buy and sell arrows, respectively. Autopilot Plug-in The Autopilot Plug-in gives you the ability to design, back-test, and execute automated trading strategies within the Track ‘n Trade Live platform. When designing your strategy, you are able to choose from multiple different technical analysis indicators, including the Bulls ‘n Bears indicator and the Advantage Lines indicator (assuming that you already have the Bulls ‘n Bears Advantage Plug-in), as well as set your own entry and exit specifications (which includes limit orders, stops orders, trailing stops, jump stops, etc.). After you have designed your strategy, you are then able to back-test your strategy using historical price data, in order to see how your strategy would have performed in the past.
