Welcome to the quoTrader network. I started this site with my stock trading system that I have developed over more than twenty years. Since about 1990 I used to summarize the key points of the system so that I always had a check list for my trading. Over time there piled over 500 versions up of this "trading manual". The system evolved, but it was more a tweaking than a redesigning. During the last years I played with the idea to make out of the few lines that comprised the whole thing a real book. Much work waited for me and so I hesitated to do it. But finally I found that these micro versions of a book that I produced with my own mindmapping software may have restricted my understanding or better my internalization of the trading style that I tried to execute. As an experiment I started writing the book with the idea in mind that I would have it then for myself and that I also could sell it and make a website around it. This potential double benefit incited me to finally finish it. Soon after that I realized that it is not easy to find a name for the whole endeavor, mainly because all good domain names are already registered. Among some others I eventually settled on the name quoTrader, an artificial word made up of quote and trader, indicating the technical emphasis of the system. To be honest, I was glad that, after screening the universe of possible short names and finding only very few that were left, I got one that could be interpreted loosely the right way. One critical point for any good stock market operator is "the right selection" of stocks to be currently interested in. Traders tend to neglect this aspect while investors have "the wrong timing". The combination of both is the way to go and for that I added a blog to this site, highlighting interesting chances in the stock market. This is what has happened so far. Either these two complementing pieces of the trading puzzle, system and signals, are enough for this project and I just have to put continuously work into the blog and make it better over time, or I will add some additional parts. I have written my own trading software and there is the possibility that I polish and then publish it somewhere down the road. But there are also reasons not to do so. Bringing a program from the laboratory state that is sufficient for its developer to a real product suitable for everyone and then maintaining it is real work. For instance, just the adoption of all common data feeds and the burden to quickly react to changes of their data format or authorization process intimidates me. Predicting the future of stocks is hard enough, so I am going to concentrate now on that and stop speculating about the future of this site. Here are some links for a further understanding of this project:
