In this podcast episode we’re going to be talking about strategy design and different ways to look at the markets, and joining us as our special guests is Rikard Nilsson from Autostock.

Rikard trades all different styles and markets, and has even built his own trading platform with some interesting features he’s going to share with us.

Plus he’s going to share some interesting ideas on how he looks at the markets, some of which you may not have heard of before, including:

• The 'Predictive Average' indicator – how it can be used to indicate potential market behaviours over the following days/weeks and months,
• Validating strategies across different instruments,
• Excluding certain parts of the day based on data,
• Adaptive 'Backtrack Technology' and how to filter trading signals and position sizing dynamically based on past market behaviour,
• Plus loads more, so let’s jump over now to my chat with Rikard

A huge part of algorithmic trading is all about stacking the odds in our favour.

Finding statistical edges, identifying times when probabilities indicate that market conditions are either favourable for a trade or perhaps unfavourable for a trade.

And although probabilities aren’t certainties, they can still be an important guides for traders, so joining us as special guest for this episode is Scott Hodson from Probable Trades.

Some of the things you’ll discover in my chat with Scott are:

• How to apply probabilities to trading strategies and why looking at cross-sectional probabilities across multiple dimensions of data can potentially enhance trading results,
• How a Probability Almanac can help track the performance of a trading strategy over certain time periods,
• Why it can sometimes pay to have a fundamental knowledge of the stocks you’re buying instead of just blindly following trading signals,
• How analysing risk to reward of past trades can help to determine at what point taking more risk is not beneficial,
• Why you need to care for your ‘emotional capital, just as much as your ‘trading capital’,
• A specific type of stop that can reduce the length and size of drawdowns,
• Shorting strategies as a hedge to smooth out the equity curve and reduce drawdowns,
• And much more.
