BOOK YOUR FREE STRATEGY SESSION NOW >>Hi guys, hi from Andrea Unger! Today, I’d like to talk a bit about my trading infrastructure, that is to say, how I am personally structured, as this is something people often ask me about.
To avoid problems in case of internet connection and power supply issues, I host my trading software on a cloud server.
The trading platform in my infrastructure is MultiCharts. This doesn’t obviously mean that MultiCharts is the best choice for you as well. There are many other good software – Tradestation, Ninja Trader, Trade Nagivator, and so on and so forth – that can be good for you, as long as they do what you need them to do.
The reason why I use MultiCharts is that I’m familiar with it and I like the flexibility it offers.
I have a large number of strategies. Every month, from my software Titan, I get a list of the strategies that will go live on the coming month. These are the strategies that I put live on the platform.
I usually divide them into different worksheets, but this is just my personal choice. For instance:
I test all my systems on the first Saturday of each month. On the tracker, I have a list of systems featuring some information about positions. When I check this, I verify that broker positions correspond to the sum of the contracts on the tracker. I can check this easily on the platform and also have a glance at the whole portfolio.
In my infrastructure, I use real-time data from IQFeed. I don't get the data directly from Interactive Brokers, which is my broker, because I prefer a more detailed feed, instead of the snapshots that Interactive Brokers offers. However, this is a technical point I may explore more in depth in the future.
IQFeed covers most of the markets I need to trade. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't provide data for the Italian future. So, even if I live in Italy, I don’t have any strategies on this future. I could take the data from Interactive Brokers, but I don't like mixing data feeds. When I did it in the past, it made me feel uncomfortable, so I dropped those strategies.
I would also have some strategies on some Asian markets, such as the Hang Seng future and the Nikkei, but they, too, are not included in IQFeed data. However, I'm considering getting equipped for these markets, as the results are quite interesting.
This is more or less what I wanted to tell you. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to write your thoughts.
I wish you a nice week!

BOOK YOUR FREE STRATEGY SESSION NOW >>Andrea Unger here and I help retail traders to improve their trading, scientifically. I went from being a cog in the machine in a multinational company to the only 4-Time World Trading Champion in a little more than 10 years.
I've been a professional trader since 2001 and in 2008 I became World Champion using just 4 automated trading systems.
In 2015 I founded Unger Academy, where I teach my method of developing effecting trading strategies: a scientific, replicable and universal method, based on numbers and statistics, not hunches, which led me and my students to become Champions again and again.
Now I'm here to help you learn how to develop your own strategies, autonomously. This channel will help you improve your trading, know the markets better, and apply the scientific method to financial markets.
Becoming a trader is harder than you think, but if you have passion, will, and sufficient capital, you'll learn how to code and develop effective strategies, manage risk, and diversify a portfolio of trading systems to greatly improve your chances of becoming successful.
