Emiri

The author of “The Philosophy of Successful Trading,” who also runs a system-trade school alongside system-trade trading, and Takayoshi Murai, President of Excellent Horse Co., Ltd., who is the author of “Stock Trading Becomes Easier with Automated Trading,” and the developer of the automated trading tool “Autore,” we were pleased to have Hiroshi Matsumura, President of Automatic Trade Co., Ltd., join us.

Matsumura

For about ten years I have been running a system-development company that automates investments. The reason I entered this field was that the billiards hall owner where I worked as a student used the money earned from stock trading to frequently travel overseas with his family, which made me want to try it too.

After becoming a working professional and an engineer, I started system trading that manually executes stock trades according to fixed rules rather than software automatically doing things. Because I am a technician, I wanted to write programs to automate it, so I developed automated trading software.

I have lived in Fukui Prefecture, both in the past and now, but I wanted to start stock system-trade, so I attended a seminar at a school in Osaka. It was a seminar on manual stock trading according to fixed rules, so I wanted automatic trading and began developing my own system-trade software.

After improving the finished software and making it profitable, I decided to sell it to customers, and started running a system-trade school.

What is the Stock/Futures/Options API,and with the appearance of the Stock/Futures/Options API,how has stock trading been improved?

Matsumura

Before APIs appeared, we were building automated trading software for system trading, but we constructed a system that analyzes the broker’s Web trading system and automates tasks such as manual order entry, thereby achieving automation of stock trading. This method required constantly updating the system whenever the broker changed the Web trading system, making it very demanding to keep trades possible.This method would become unusable whenever the brokerage changed its Web trading system, so we were constantly rushed to modify the system, which was tough.

au Kabucom Securities was the first in Japan to publish an API to individual investors, so the automated trading system finally stabilized.

Our company, Automatic Trade, is the first to contract the au Kabucom Securities API.

We provide software for stock trading capable of automated trading to investors, but we do not provide the actual logic that performs automated trading. It is software that allows people who have ideas for trading stocks or the Nikkei 225 futures to build their own automated trading rules.

KENSHIRO-225, offered by Murai's company, enables customers to backtest Nikkei 225 futures trading using historical data to build system-trade software, and provides sample logic as well. Automated trading can be performed using the tool “Signal de Order for KENSHIRO-225,” which connects with the au Kabucom Securities API developed by Automatic Trade.

Emiri

What are the differences between MT4, which is commonly used for automated trading in FX, and stock/futures/options APIs?

Murai

MT4 is mainly for FX. The stock/futures/options API can trade stocks, Nikkei 225 futures, and options, but MT4 runs on a home computer to trade.

Automated trading software connected via the stock/futures/options API runs in the cloud, so you don’t have to start the software yourself to trade. Also, MT4 is software created by one software company that FX companies implement and provide to customers; it’s the trading system of a financial services provider (FX company). In contrast, automated trading software connected via the stock/futures/options API is a system freely designed by external development firms like ours, and thus is built more from the investor’s perspective.

Matsumura

GogoJungle’s stock/futures/options API page lists many products, including Autore, and Kenshiro-225 also has a free version, so please try them at least once.

Murai

In the future, we plan seminars, so we hope you will participate in person or watch the web seminars to experience automation of stock and Nikkei 225 futures trading.
