The theoretical part simply takes the reader through some successive decisions like the selection of applied analysis, selection of the market, trading system and other aspects necessary for profitable trading. In the practical part of the thesis, I introduce a trading system by with it is possible to trade profitably while giving attention to all of it's rules. After a detailed description of all specific parts of the trading system, we come to an analysis MAE / MFE, which helps us to determine the position-exit strategy. In the chapter of backtest, we test the trading system on two futures markets, E-mini Nasdaq and E-mini Russell2000. At the end of the thesis, I try to use the trading system and trade with virtual money. I compare the results from backtest and papertrading, and i try to characterize the difference between these results.
