Just moved over to Tickblazer from another platform, and as always migrating over from one platform to another is never an easy ride, but i am happy so far and their support team is very helpful and working with you and your developers to ease the process. Being able to use polygon.io without...

Forget about why it happens, accept that it can happen, and make sure you can handle being on the wrong side n times in a row or to some reasonable risk management.. you cant avoid these, no matter what universe you're trading, you need to accept it, and size accordingly.

May i ask, what is a "hidden divergence" ?

Is it not amazing, that most of the things relating to "forex" trading is just a big scam :)

Just stay away from these types of "brokers" why on earth does anyone want to use these unknown types of entities/brokers etc... why not just chose a broker that has the highest chance of not go bust or turn up to be a scam ? pick the most well known broker brand, that you can open an account...

Why dont you just start to test it? papertrade it, then live, check your real slippage compared to your assumptions.. test slippage as 0.1 perhaps instead of 0.01.. you are going to get 324234 million opinions in here anyway. Start and test it small if you believe you have something. Good luck

But thats not that bad for an intraday strategy, so thats your margin for error in your assumptions. If your strategy buying breakouts etc your slippage will be higher than for example Mean reversion types, Anyway, test it, connect it to your paper trading account and check if your assumptions...

From my own experience, its not so much strategy breakdowns that causes most issues, its poor execution of the strategies that you chose to run. This causes a lot of drag and can eat up a lot of your Avr trd %.

Myself i am not that worried as most will tell you that (yes it has been working just because its been the words best bull market etc) if it works now and outperform, it works, does it not ?, then squeeze out what you can from it until it does not work anymore, its not more difficult than...

I would not be to worried about not going further back than 2004 (i assume your intraday data has limitations, but i would try to get some more history to get you some hints about other market types) i would also look at average trd%.. i cant see that here, but your AB should output that in...

That Quora thread you are linking to, contains much valuable information for any systematic trader, especially for new ones to be business.

Hi, No impossible incorrect word, if you lhave time to manually map each one of the 150 symbols to IB:SMART etc, and you are fine with having no option to handle symbols in mc database more than exchange A or B etc, so in database you cant sort symbols in for example sp500, nasdaq100, DJ, etc...

Trdetune, your backtest results in portfolio trade, cant view intrabar.. IOG is not avaliable in portffolio trader, as it is on chart. Trading ajust a few symbols using PT in mc is great, but dealing with lots of symbols mm, iits not the right tool for the job i believe,.. anyway, i do use MC...

Used Multicharts Portfolio trader for years, but it lack a lot when it comes to equity trading, each symbol needs to be manually mapped to IB, exchange etc. There is no good way to handle sublists of symbols etc in the database, which is a pain, and portfolio trader cant use anything intrabar...

Happy to see polygon.io data is possible to use now, will start testing this. Is adjustment for corporate events, dividends and splits handle in same way in platform as IQ.Dtn ?

Multicharts does

Ohh ok, i was under the impression that it was 100k, well... i assume its good business for them.. and largest reason is the trail max dd, i i think thats they key metric in their business plan :) And the trail is based also on open equity, not closed... well well

Trailing drawdown on a 100k account of 3500usd, 3.5% i mean.... thats not realistic for any serious trader to work with... its insane....

In the process of moving my Equity portfolio trading to Tickblazer from Multicharts, very excited. (With the kind help from fan27 as consultant)
