Just for fun, here are next weeks trades. I'm not doing this live yet. The goal is to get in as close to the open price as possible. Long: WYN PCAR INTU BHI EMR HAL WM ZBH AME NWSA Short: RF VNO NDAQ MDT DPS CPB SLG TSS SYMC INCY

Also, got short EURGBP at the close.

I was checking the markets this morning and didn't like the look of my GBPUSD long so took a loss on it and went short USDJPY, got lucky with the news release for a pretty nice profit that I closed out with my phone at work and got long GBPUSD again by the end of the day. I'm still getting the...

Closed out the trades at some profit today, switched to GBP/USD long.

Yeah I did a month with kibot for that reason.

I'm downloading about 1000 symbols a day. They go back 6 months give or take.

I let the algo get me in to some positions today. EUR/USD short and EUR/GBP long triggered, which of course makes me short GBP/USD, which was my third bias I had the algo running on but it didn't trigger. I'm not sure what that means lol but I am up 50ish pips on the two positions right now...

And finally here is the day by day average cumulative % return for long/short the top/bottom 10 with numbers ran on 3/1/17 (a big reversal day) and positions opened on 3/2/17 so pretty bad timing.

And slow... :)

Here are some interesting charts for you guys. For each chart the x axis is time in days and the y axis is % return. The return is the average for going long and short the top and bottom x # of stocks from the sp500. Series 1 top/bottom 10, series 2 top/bottom 30, series 3 top/bottom 100...

I guess it just depends on how you want to use it. As long as you understand what the level represents...I personally haven't really found much use for the levels. I am going pretty much entirely off NLs. I keep the levels on my charts and am always brainstorming ideas but I haven't found a...

I ran my autotrade stuff last week on 5 minute charts to find any bugs. It got lucky and managed to make a few pips while I fixed a few little problems but I don't think it can make money on that fast of timeframe. I'm shifting it to the 4hr chart I intend to run it on. I'll make some choices...

Regarding all the programming stuff, I found openpyxl to be very useful. It helps you to work with excel files in python. I don't trust any of my code so I like to verify each step visually in excel and this library made it pretty simple.

Also, I personally only use daily levels to generate NL scores. I have one daytrade method that trades off daily levels in forex I am autotrading right now but I suspect it will only be useful as a means to get a better than random entry when I want to open a longer term position. An approach...

Sounds kind of like a weekly level. Why not just use that? I think its great to try out new ideas like that though.

I was worse off than you when I started as I had never even done anything remotely advanced in excel. I bought several books and found them pretty useless for what I wanted to create. They did help for learning the basics of the language but later I found free websites that were better. The...

Sorry I didn't really explain it very well. The bottom 4 rows are the ones that I am really using. They represent the ratio of some different categories of NL's. I don't know yet if it is an improvement over advancers/decliners. I need to check that. The program is one that I have developed...

These will be under $1 one day. Bitcoin is worth nothing. It is useful for making transactions and that is it. It is not acceptable as a store of value due to volatility and vulnerability to theft. If I was criminal I would right now be seeking and robbing bitcoin holders in real life...

Speaking of stocks... I'm still going hard on my ACD programming adventure. I've got my software scoring all the components of the sp500 every day with the idea that I'm going to use it to manage my meager investment account. To date I have put all my money into the sp500 on a monthly basis...
