The 'semi' part I am thinking of is, 1) confirmation of entry, as there are times when quantified conditions are met, while obviously not a good time to enter, for example, a rebound after a 30 points run; 2) which exit rule to be applied; this involves some chart recognition, which I am not...

Well, I switched from C# and NinjaTrader (bought their life long license). It is a long story. Ninja can not give all the flexibility I need. And I encountered some error that the support team can not debug.

yes, I need the chart. And it will be great if I can code my strategy in the background.

Hi elite traders, Some 3 years ago, I am informed by a guru here to learn some Python and do the research and trading, as this is "what the professionals are doings". Now, I am done with the research work, and seem to find a pattern in the ES 1 mins intra-day data. So, now I am looking...

As for my own experience, 1 year for my spare time. Some basics about python, some time to familiar with packages like, numpy, pandas, bokeh(for plotting), backtesting packages like backtrader, backtesting.py...

Hi, grzegorz3, Read your post just now. And I guess we share some common interest--Python and IB. So, I am curious about how do you deploy your system? I am done with research with python, and about to start the simulating trading. What I am looking for is a way to integrate my system with...

Well, as for my own experience, I am done with Ninjatrader. I spent some time learning to code in C#, which is the language their platform use. Then, one day, I run into some error that no one can tell why. They have a support team on their forum, some of whom are professional programmers. But...

So, this seems to be a dead end. I think I should avoid this way of thinking.

It is 1 minutes bar.

So, suppose I have a standard to distinguish between choppy and trendy market conditions. For example when price < SMA(12), it is considered choppy. But this will have some noise, like price dipped below SMA(12) for only one or two bars, so I wanna to wait several bars as to confirm it. But...

Well, in this forum, I followed some guru's advice to learn coding in Python. And it surely payed off. Now, with backtrader or backtesting.py (the top two backtesting packages in python), I can tweak to test an idea within half an hour to see whether it works or not.

Well, not yet. I do not have a programming background. And I have been doing the basic stuff, learning python, and pandas package, and trying out the back test pakages.

Well, I have been using Ninjatrader to backtest for quite a while, until one day I find an error than even the support team can not fix. And can not even explain why that error happened. Confused and I did a lot of home work to figure out what is happening. But after some time, I realize that it...

Then, I guess you are a very experienced C# user. What you have mentioned here is beyond my knowledge. Not sure whether I am dipping that deep into C#. With the same amount of time and energy, I guess Python will be a better choice? After all, I can use Python for other purpose(I am in social...

thanks man, hard to believe it they had such a big flaw in the first place.

see my reply to Morse, you can try it yourself.

In the backtest, same data, same strategy, same parameter values, different results (max net profit). Try it your self, if interested.

Hi Guys, I know there are real guru traders here. And I think I can take advantage of your wisdom and experience by listening to your advice here. The issue I encountered here is that, I spent almost a year to familiarize myself with the NinjaTrader 8 platform. Writing indicators...

Cool, never notice that.

Thanks for the info, have not read that yet.
