ATS Is Changing Focus
ATS was started in January of 2021. Since then I’ve published over 80 strategies and I think it’s a good time to start transitioning ATS from a focus on strategy development to research. I’ll be doing this by introducing a new newsletter: ATS Research (formerly ATS Mini).
What’s the Difference Between ATS & ATS Research?
The mission of ATS was/is to find the holy grail of automated trade strategy. The mission of ATS Research will be to improve the performance of ATS strategies.
I’m not a quant, programmer or mathematician—I’m just a simple trader. But over the years I’ve had many observations about ATS strategies and I think it’s time to explore those observations.
In other words, instead of publishing new strategies, I’ll be focusing on how to improve the strategies we’ve already created in ATS. I’ll also be focusing on ways to inspire you to create/improve your own strategies. I believe this iterative approach will not only make the process of discovery faster, but it will amplify the impact of insights made across the portfolio.
What You Need To Do
You don’t have to do anything. We’re still on the hunt for the holy grail of automated trade strategy. This email is only to inform you that:
ATS Mini is changing to ATS Research. The transition will be completed on April 30.
ATS Research is a new newsletter that will focus on automated strategy research.
All content on ATS Research will also be published on ATS. In addition to ATS Research, I will be updating ATS with many items including strategy updates/variations, software/platform reviews, strategy descriptions, templates and downloads for other platforms, but no ‘new’ strategies will be added after April.
Strategy 81 will be published between April 1st and April 3rd, and Strategy 82 will be published between April 15th and April 18th. Starting May 1, ATS will focus on research and the application of that research on ATS strategies.
I will be creating/auctioning off new strategies to a select few, but I will no longer publish any new strategies on ATS or ATS Research after April. If you would like for me to create a customized strategy for you, please contact me at the email below.
Why Am I Doing This
I am doing this for several reasons. Originally, I wanted to publish 100 strategies before making this transition, but every week I am notified of more people selling ATS strategies as their own. What’s truly galling is when the people that purchase those strategies from fraudulent vendors ask for my help. Until I can figure out a better way to control distribution, I will only share new strategies with a limited few.
That said, it has always been my overriding mission to make automated trading accessible to everyone. I love trading and I want to share it with others. So, the mission of ATS Research is to focus on research that helps all of us grow. My sincere hope is to build a standalone publication that inspires everyone reading it to create their own ‘best’ strategy. And, hopefully you will inspire others as well.
As a way to help with the transition, I would like to offer a subscription to ATS for 80% off of the annual price.
You can also sign up for just ATS Research today for only $49/month.
As an added incentive, ATS Research currently includes 40 ATS strategies (leftover from ATS Mini). All of these strategies will be removed by the end of April as I transition the newsletter, but you will have access to them over this limited time period. Sign up today before they are removed on April 30.
If you have any questions, thoughts or concerns, please send an email to AutomatedTradingStrategies@protonmail.com.
