Building an Automated Stock Trading System in MS Excel  

This Guide shows you step-by-step how to build a sophisticated automated stock trading model using Microsoft Excel. Microsoft's Visual Basic (VBA) language is used in conjunction with Excel's user interface, formulas, and calculation capabilities to deliver a powerful and flexible trading tool. The Model includes five proven technical indicators (ADX, moving average crossovers, stochastics, Bollinger bands, and DMI). You are guided in a detailed fashion through creating worksheets, files, ranges, indicator formulas, control buttons, DDE/Active-X links, and code modules. After building the model, you simply import the data you need, run the model automatically with a click of a button, and make your trading decisions. The model incorporates both trend-trading and swing-trading features. The swing-trading feature can be turned on or off, depending upon your investing style. The system operates with your choice of FREE ASCII .TXT files available on the internet, or a subscription data service (with our without a DDE link). The model can be used alone or in conjunction with your existing fundamental and market analysis to improve investment timing and avoid unprofitable situations. A complete PDF Guide is provided along with a step-by-step Online Course so you can choose how to learn in the most comfortable way. A separate pre-built Backtesting Model is also included for historical analysis and testing various stocks and time periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will I learn in this course? Is it something I can learn somewhere else?
This course teaches you how to build the components, code, formulas, and data handling architecture for a functioning stock trading model. While it is possible to learn each part individually, no book shows you how to integrate all of these skills into a functioning trading model. The Course provides tremendous savings in time and money by alleviating the need to discover and implement the knowledge it takes to build institutional-level trading models in Excel. The Course focuses directly on building trading models without the unnecessary or over-generalized content found in most Excel and Visual Basic books. The knowledge is transferable to any type of trading, investment, statistical, or economic models.

Does the model have graphs or visual indicators?
Yes, the models contain graphs to show historical performance and trade signals versus price. The automated trading model you build is calculation-based, rather than a graphical charting tool. The greatest strength of the model is its ability to calculate trading signals on hundreds of stocks rapidly.

Can the model backtest using different scenarios and indicators?
Yes. In addition to the course materials, a separate backtesting model is provided for download so you can test various stocks.

Do I have to build the model from scratch or does the course come with a finished model?
The purpose of the Stock System course is to teach the skills and techniques of building trading models in Excel. You are required to build the model as part of the course. For convenience, the Course includes a complete pre-built backtesting model incorporating the same indicators and logic. There is no substitute for building a model from the ground up in terms of knowing how it works in actual trading conditions. This is especially important for investment professionals, who must know all the details and nuances of their tools in order to meet risk and disclosure requirements.

Are the trading rules and logic provided?
Yes. The course discusses the trading logic in significant depth. The model is not a "black box". You are taught how the system logic works so its strengths and weaknesses are clearly evident.

Does the course come with technical support?
Yes. Two methods of support are available: 1) An online Frequently Asked Questions section is included within the course, and 2) If the FAQs section does not answer your question, email support is available at no charge. The FAQs section is updated on a regular basis to ensure it addresses all issues related to building and operating the model.
