Easing Into EasyLanguage: Day Trading Edition Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 12 ratings

This surprise installment (I had only planned on 3 books) of the Easing into EasyLanguage series will focus on entering and exiting on the same day; also known as day trading. The topics covered in this book should apply to any volatile market where selling short is as easy as buying. The book will focus on volatile stocks, mini and micro versions of the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones. This book concerns itself with teaching the proper programming techniques to help the reader take their own trading ideas and transforming them accurately into EasyLanguage. The universe of day trading algorithms is rather large, but the core entry and exit techniques can be distilled down into just a few examples.
  • ORBO - open range break out - a technique made famous by John Hill, Larry Williams, and Toby Crabel.
  • Zone Trading - monitoring market movement as it moves through pre-defined zones (think Camarilla) and then making trading decisions on the market's journey.
  • TBO - time based break out - things like the break-out of the first 30-minute bar or trading the break-out after lunch.
  • BO and FBO - break out and failed break out technology will be used to try and capture the volatile moves that occur frequently.
  • Indicator based entry and exit - RSI, Stochastic and others.
  • Pattern recognition prior to day of trade execution - think Day Type (Buy or Short) Day
  • Trade Management - remember its the exit that determines success of failure
    • Protective Stops.
      • Fixed $ amounts.
      • Dynamic volatility-based amounts.
      • Built-in and user coded functionality.
    • Profit Objectives.
      • Fixed $ objective.
      • Dynamic volatility-based profit amounts.
      • Built-in and user coded functionality.
    • Trailing Stop with Ratcheting.
      • Chandelier type trailing stop.
    • Break Even Stops.
      • Provide market more room to trade while locking into a free trade.
  • Pyramiding and Scaling Out
    • Add on to existing positions in direction of initial trade or at better prices.
      • Pyramid up to three or more positions.
    • Scale out of portion of position at profit or loss levels.
      • Scale out to make initial trade a free trade.
All code should be compatible with Multi-Charts as we will not lean on OOEL. Several tutorials will be presented and will manifest into complete trading algorithms. The book contains nine chapters with over 100 illustrations.

Publishing Timeline:

Fall and Winter of 2024 - The Trend Following Edition of Easing... will be published. Keep checking back as I will provide the exact subject matter and expected publication dates. Unlike my first three tutorial-based installments in the series, this will follow the Day Trading edition with exact trading algorithms that fit into the trend following genre. I will also discuss some of the legends of our industry - like Murray Ruggiero, Keith Fitschen, Randy Stuckey, Michael Covel, Andreas Clenow and a few others.

June 2023 - The Day Trading Edition of Easing Into EasyLanguage - the surprise installment to the series. This book was just begging to be written. Day trading is yet another tool you can have in your arsenal to gain a technical edge. This form of trading is attractive due the absence of overnight risk exposure. But don't kid yourself, there is plenty of risk during the 9:30 to 4:00 trading day. This book discusses and evaluates the ideas that have made day trading, over the years, a successful venture. Ideas such open range break out - momentum and time based, volatility-based break out, zone trading including Camarilla levels, pyramiding and others. In addition, the book discusses trade filtering using range compression, NR4, buy and sell day configurations, time of day and day of week analysis. As important as getting in, getting out might be even more important. For this reason, protective stops, profit objectives, trailing and breakeven stops with their associated code is presented. The often-overlooked scaling in and scaling out of positions has an entire chapter dedicated to this form of trade management. Like most of my Easing Into... books, all code is Multi-Chart compliant.

July 2022 - Advanced Topics Edition of Easing Into EasyLanguage. The third and final book of the series. Take your programming skills to a higher level and learn about Seasonality, multiple time frames, text graphic objects, programming a Radar Screen. Step into the world of data structures and create your own Hash Table and token generation. All code is 100% basic into - no OOEL.

April 2022 - Trend Following Systems - A DIY Project - Batteries Included (2nd Edition). A Python based approach to Algorithmic trading. Updated and refactored TradingSimula_18 [2022] + Simple Charting Package + Updated Performance Metrics on the most famous Trend Following Algorithms of the 20th and 21st century.

December 2021 - The HiRes Edition of Easing Into EasyLanguage. I named this book Hi-Res, because it provides the necessary tools and shortcuts to apply your trading algorithms to minute bars (high resolution data). EasyLanguage is one language, but programming daily bars versus minute bars is a totally different paradigm in that processing small time frames must be handled in a different manner. All of your indicators that you have used on your daily bars are now applied to minute bars and the results are vastly different. You must scale your ideas down and use different algorithms to calculate your daily indicators all the while working and interacting with minute bars.

June 2019 - The Foundation Edition provides the new EasyLanguage programmer the "foundation" to build their trading algorithms upon. This edition provides professional advice on the TradeStation Development Environment, the basic building blocks of creating Strategies, PaintBars, ShowMes, and Functions. Different backtesting paradigms are discussed and examples are provided via the content in the book plus over four hours of video instruction.

And now onto my bio:

I am George Pruitt, and I reside in the mountains of western North Carolina with my wonderful wife, Leslie, and our two children, Brandon and Emily. I hold a degree in Computer Science from UNC-Asheville, a place close to my heart. The synergy between trading and computer expert systems is continually growing, and I firmly believe that successful trading is impossible without some form of systematic approach. With over 30 years of experience in the managed futures funds industry, I've seen it all.

This belief led me to write three books as an author for John Wiley & Sons: The Ultimate Trading Guide, Building Winning Trading Systems with TradeStation (first and second editions), and The Ultimate Algorithmic Trading System Toolbox. In my latest book, I aimed to provide practical examples of how to program in EasyLanguage, AmiBroker, VBA, and Python, offering these systems as platforms for further research and development.

Currently, I’m focused on developing longer-term methodologies that offer non-correlation to other trend-following strategies. Given the recent market volatility, I’m also working on filtering out low-probability trades while minimizing the impact on profitability. I’ve just completed writing The Ultimate Algorithmic Trading System Toolbox, which includes much of this research.

Good luck!

George

    The second book (Hi-res) was a tough read to say the least..For this book, I am only a chapter in, but from what I can gather it is similar info (thus far) as book 2 but explained in a more concise manner in better detail with out all the additional (extreame) "House keeping" that can really confuse you. I recommend this book to someone that has picked up the second book and has subsequently put it down because you struggled to get through it and/or for the person that has just finished his first book I would go straight to this one. I am really happy I discovered this book this morning. As with all his work, it is worth every penny. Georges' work has been impactful on the community and he is a great coder and explainer, and not to mention a great individual. Thanks George!

    Good book from George Pruitt.

    Considering the cost/quality ratio of what's generally out there in the EasyLanguage/Tradestation world, this book and examples are a supreme value. Another great offering by one of the pillars of EL development.
