Wow... if this is the type of "rigid' thinking that goes into "professional" shops. I may have under estimated another edge my system has.

The fact you claim to be in the field of Machine Learning but your hung on semantics of ML vs deep learning is troubling... Yes, Deep Learning is a subset of ML. Would you consider IBM to be a reputable resource on ML? Quote from their site: "As we explain in our Learn Hub article on Deep...

I use the term Machine Learning as a catch all. It's easily recognizable by most without getting overly semantic. Deep learning is simply a subset of machine learning. Yes, what I do would be more considered deep learning.

I don't disagree that being sufficiently capitalized for your style of trading is not important. It certainly is. For all the reasons already discussed such as not panicking over draw downs, to being able to diversify your strategies to be profitable under more conditions. However, there are...

I see there has been quite a few new posts. I'll attempt to address in one response: #1 It's rare in ML to really understand what the "black box" is doing. It's complex. In my mind, the point of machine learning is to identify patterns that I can't see myself. If I was able to "see" those...

When I look at my system, I believe the top contributors to my edge are: #1 The dataset/data manipulation #2 The unique way I am training my strategies #3 Strategy diversification (trading 450 different strategies). Creating a smoother equity curve which helps with #5. #4 Position sizing...

The unrealized swing trade profits is sitting at roughly $34k at the moment. The bot took some off the table today, but vast majority is still unrealized. The numbers given for the week are only the realized profits.

Results for the week: Swing Trades: +$8,652 Daytrades: +$3,898 Total: $12,550 Pretty routine week... All trades this week were posted live on Twitter. Hopefully seeing an automated system posting live for the week was helpful to you in some way. I don't see much value in continuing to post all...

For me its the opposite. I get the strongest urge when I have had a string of wins. I know that a draw down is due and is around the corner. I start wanting to "protect" profits. Especially large unrealized ones like I am sitting on right now. For me, when I am in a draw down, I don't want to...

I am sitting on over $30k in unrealized gains from the swing trades opened earlier this week. The hardest part of having an automated trading system is sitting on your hands and NOT intervening. Its so tempting to make it close the position and lock in those gains... especially when the...

My platform is all "self developed" - not using any off the shelf ML software. Therefore, to do what I am doing would require a lot of coding experience. However, I think there are decent tools out there that can be used with less experience. Its less about the "engine" training the strategies...

Interesting.. however not sure I see the benefit (to me) in broadcasting a live feed of all my trades via youtube? What reasons would I have for doing so?

In all the systems I have designed, I have never seen an arbitrary "stop loss" improve the results I care about. All of my systems are designed to have a "reason" on why it gets out. This "reason" may be a black box as far as my understanding of it, but the models were trained to create that...

No, none of the strategies use any stop losses. A 10k swing is only 1.25% move in the account.

I have a substantial amount of trading knowledge. However, I rely 100% on the strategies produced by the machine learning/AI. Most of the strategies running now, I haven't even attempted to "understand" why or how they work. I trust the process. The signals and execution are all 100% automated.

On a side note, is the Live Twitter feed serving any useful purpose to anyone? Today obviously gave everyone a bit of a look into a production automated trading system - but not sure it serves much additional purpose?

Today's results: Daytrading Strategy: -$6,297 Swing Strategy: +$2,785 (closed PL) Total: -$3,512 (closed PL) The swing trading strategy did open quite a few long positions which are currently underwater. However, these typically have a way of working themselves out over the coming days/weeks...

No

For anyone who is tracking the trades on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlphaStratLab The system is pretty long at this point. It generally doesn't get too much longer than it currently is before it starts to unwind some positions or open some shorts to counter balance. These moments always make...

Overall, I would not say my strategy is mean reversion. I have nearly 450 independently trained strategies. Each identifying "different" characteristics of the market. Some are mean reversion, some are trend following, some I frankly don't know what the hell they are doing. Almost appears random...
