TRADER'S WORKSHOP: Optimizing a trade strategy 11:00 am ET The evolution of a trading strategy begins with identifying a trade setup (usually through observed or learned behavior). Adding in how you might exit a trade, you can then back test that strategy. The next phase in improving a strategy is optimization – determining which settings result in better trading results (on paper at least). Zac and Jeremy of Shark Indicators join Mike Burke to demonstrate the optimization process. MIDDAY WRAP-UP 11:30 am ET Close out your morning with us as we review news and events shaping the futures markets’ price action at the halfway point of the trading day.
