share the EA , you could get some great feedback from experts , and no one would use it before proving it.. you can only gain from sharing ... and the openness will provide confidence ...

It is a personal HFT with pattern recognition, neural networks (AI self-tuning), automatic "skimming" of trends, it is doing well. Have two offers, negotiating over the weekend, likely it will be sold to an individual or software company and I'll become a consultant to them. No options at the...

10% of balance per week is what it is doing now

The program has been doing trades (real) for months (as a trade assistant, providing recommendations and single button buy/sell/stop loss transactions). Finished the first production version last week (Monday) with the full automation. Now it is running on its own. It is returning about 10%...

over 10K profit today of all days ... P (>$2) and RLYP (>$1.50)

What a poor decision... stop orders are NOT the problem... They should address the real problem, the only people who ever lost money are those who placed orders ... they should just eliminate orders , call, put, buy and sell and no one will lose any money

In poker I often I see guys get extremely upset (like when they lose with pocket aces) at a loss, then throw money away trying to win it back with worse hands. My view is you have to see the bigger picture and realize you'll win and lose, you can't play well if you don't plan on the losses as...

I will add a function to my program to twitter it's transactions ... I'll post the user id when I test it.

I have been a semi-professional poker player. (I don't consider poker gambling like slot machines.) I think that experience helps my day trading, I learned in poker you can't base decisions on what you wish will happen .. only on the data you have (math and reads on your opponents). No bluffing...

The next step for my automated trading was a pleasant surprise. My program recognizes 5 patterns very well. Over the weekend I decided instead of adding new patterns myself, I'd have the program search them out. I feed in hundreds of days of historical data. The program would look for the...

FFT would be useful just for the optimization, to be useful on trend analysis, you have to take it to another level, I'm not extracting sine waves and I'm not working with periodic functions ..... you only have partial waveforms and are extracting non-sine waveform fragments, slopes... may be...

I'm adding patterns that I know and use. The most basic first such as 1) trend, 2) trend with pullback and continuation or breakout 3) reversals The patterns are graphs (outlines) then stored in tables, each table represents one pattern. The actual values are interpolated so they can be...

I started with Ninja Trader but switched to IB API C# and C++ several months ago .. first I built a TWS assistant (day trade assistant) that could buy and sell with single key entries .. it sets stop-loss and profit takers and can scale in/out .. that I've been using for about 6 weeks .. then I...

I'd like to share with programmers design and results of algorithms for automated trading programs. Currently I have my own program running well, it scans for stocks that are volatile , capable of large changes for intraday trading. The stocks are watched for trends and reversals. The program...
