Our Trading Systems

Our proprietary trading systems helped John Pontikas reach financial freedom. He used them on various markets and time frames, from day-trading indexes to options and stock trading end of day; and we make them all available to you.

The point I want to make to you is that all three of his systems work in any market and in any time frame and the reason is simple, they adhere to the most basics of principles when it comes to a trading system. The basics being:

 - determine a trend
 - wait for a pullback
 - enter on an event

As a trader though, you have two other things you have to consider which are, what markets do you trade and what time frames?

To determine these you need to determine your goals, skills and resources, and this is where Pentagonal Trading will help. I can assure you now that your goals, skills and resources will be different to John's now and when he first started out. Let me give you an example.

Suppose you have a goal to become a day trader and create an income from trading, and income that will enable you to quit your job. Suppose also that you have limited capital, which may preclude you from day trading just yet.

What can you do?

Well first, you can build up your capital whilst you still work your job until such times as your capital base will allow you to day trade with confidence. To do this you'll need a system that suits this, such as an end of day system that will only require your attention maybe 30 minutes a day. Because your goal is to build your capital, your results over a medium to longer term are more important than trying to make a profit every day or week.

Second, once you have built your capital base to the size you want it; you can then implement a day trading system that will enable you to make income over shorter periods of time. What's more, you could still use your longer term system to continue to build up your asset base while using your shorter term system for income.

I'm sure you can see now that both scenarios require different trading systems that operate over different time frames and as such may even be suited to different markets. For example, John liked the index futures for his short term trading and preferred options and stocks on the ASX markets for his longer term trading. You will need to determine your goals, skills and resources so you can determine your markets and time frames and this is where Pentagonal Trading helps.

All of us trade based on the basics mentioned above, and when I say all of us, I am talking about us at Pentagonal Trading. What is different between us are all the factors I mentioned above; we all have different goals, skills and resources. We don't trade the exact same system as each other, because we are all different, but if you broke our systems down to the basics, they are all the same. Remember a trading system is not just a set of rules, it is the market you trade, the time frame you trade and the money management you employ to ensure you do reach your goals.

What Pentagonal Trading does is help you to take the basics of trading with our ready made trading systems and ensure you are able to implement them in the right markets and in the right time frames to help you reach your goals. This is done by:

 - assessing your goals, skills and resources
 - teaching you the different markets available
 - giving you our trading systems….

And they will allow you to marry the three to reach your goals, but it doesn't end there....

You may have heard that over 90% of traders fail. Well this statistic is true but what many people don't realize is that this statistic is true for many things, not just trading. There is an emotional bias in people that prevents many having success and unfortunately it doesn't matter if someone has the best trading system in the world, or the best business model in the world, if they are not ready for success both consciously and sub-consciously, they will inevitably fail; but here's where Pentagonal Trading helps...

Emotional control and discipline are of more importance to trading success than most care to realize. At Pentagonal Trading we have a two pronged attack to deal with these issues. We can assure you now, that if you are able to deal with any emotional control and discipline issues, you will be 80% of the way there to success.
