Algo Trading 101: Community Intro & Understanding Risk (VaR) | Online
Details
Welcome to the very first session of the XAUMoney Algo Trading Community! Whether you are a seasoned quantitative trader or a developer looking to break into the world of automated finance, this is the place to be.
In this inaugural session, we will be laying the foundation for our community and diving deep into one of the most critical concepts in algorithmic trading: Risk Management.
What to Expect:
- Community Introduction: Get to know the vision behind XAUMoney and meet fellow traders. We’ll discuss our goals, the tools we use, and how we plan to grow together.
- Technical Deep Dive (The VAR Concept): We will demystify Value at Risk (VaR). If you are building trading bots (especially for volatile assets like Gold/XAU), understanding VaR is non-negotiable. We will cover what it is, why it matters, and how to use it to ensure your algorithms don't blow up your account.
- Interactive Learning: This isn't just a lecture. We want to hear from you, answer your questions, and start building a knowledge base together.
Agenda:
- Welcome & Intro to XAUMoney: Who we are and what we are building.
- The VAR Concept: A breakdown of Value at Risk—how to calculate it and its role in protecting your capital.
- Q&A & Open Floor: Ask questions about the session, the platform, or general algo trading strategies.
What to Bring:
- A laptop (recommended if you want to take notes or follow along with any examples).
- Your curiosity and any questions you have about algorithmic trading.
- A notebook/pen for jotting down key risk formulas.
