    It's a algorithm, it's a strategy, it's BOTH an algorithm and a strategy

    FORGOT to mention... i have done the daily back tests on single companies spanning 15 years... they all come out... i am hunting for failures, but quality companies all come out even the ones that got stuck for ages, as this is balanced in doing long and short

    It's a algorithm, it's a strategy, it's BOTH an algorithm and a strategy

    Thats why i am working on getting it going in quantopian or quantiacs.. TD doesnt have that capability.. and thats why i am at least cautious not claiming whoo hoo ya ya... though its worth paper trading manually to see as i work on python code and mastering how their system works... the...

    It's a algorithm, it's a strategy, it's BOTH an algorithm and a strategy

    oh, i agree... but the amounts its off is not a lot. not any worse than a human reading it and entering the trade... i am in the process of getting the code in python.. no harm in paper trading it to see.. we did find losers eventually, but only in day trading.. I am confident in it due...

    A strategy that is a secret

    Ah... well the system is not predictive... it doesn't look forward... it determines what condition its in... which is why it gives by and sell signals.. ie at the moment... However, a promise is a promise and here is what the past year would have been like using it (as far as i can tell given...

    Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what the title should be, sometimes its hard to figure out what category something should go under… This is one of those times (and I am sure there will be more of them in my future) Ultimately what I have is an algorithm that encapsulates a strategy. The major...

Some days i can do better (occasionally doing real trades), but i am still mostly doing paper/sim trading to build up...
