Hi, I took a look at the daily correlation between 2008 and 2022. I used a rolling 21-day correlation as this corresponds with the average number of days in a trading month. The correlation was calculated based on the daily return of the index (CLOSE to CLOSE). The highest correlation I found...

Buying stocks that are going up can be difficult and counterintuitive but in my experience it's the best way to make money.

You can also configure IB Gateway to automatically reconnect each night. This way you only have to reset the connection once per week which is far less annoying. Instructions here: https://www.systematic-investors.com/ib-gate-disconnects-from-apm/

IB has an opening order which allows for participation in the opening auction. I've never had an order like this not fill.

The Nasdaq 100 index is down over 20% from its peak in November. On November 22nd it hit an intraday high of 16764.86. Today (Mar 7th) it closed at 13319.38. This is a drop of 20.55%. It has taken about 71 trading days to do this. The last time it dropped more than 20% was back in March 2020...

The only way to know is to test it. You need all the historical earnings dates for the universe of stocks you're looking at. You will probably have to buy this data from a company like YCharts. Once you have the historical data you can set up a backtest where you're buying just after earnings...

I saw a press release earlier today for a company called BITMANU: https://bitmanu.com/ Their products are eerily similar to a company I first saw a couple of months ago in another press release, Asicway: https://asicway.io/ The product pictures on these websites look like a photoshop of the...

The current version of Excel 365 has a stock data type which allows you to insert ticker symbols into the spreadsheet and the stock info you include (price, volume, etc.) will update automatically. Also the TD Thinkorswim platform supports realtime data (RTD) where you can insert an RTD call in...

If the trade was a loss your ACB will go up not down since the ACB is used to calculate the capital gain. Higher ACB means a lower gain which makes sense in the case of a losing trade.

Yes a LEAP is simply an option with a longer term expiration. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/leaps.asp

Siblis Research may have what you're looking for: https://siblisresearch.com/ I've purchased Nasdaq 100 and TSX historical constituent data from them in the past, but not the Russell 2000. They mention Russell on their website however.

It looks like extra long-dated LEAPS were added specifically for the S&P 500: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cboe-options-exchange-list-three-190000498.html Based on the OIC options expiration calendar, the next iteration of LEAPS are added in September...

You can do this with the IB API. To avoid programming I suggest you look at something like Alera Portfolio Manager (I use this software, I'm not affiliated with them). https://aleratrading.com/ There's a free version that works with your paper trading account.

You may want to look at doing backtesting with in-sample and out-of-sample data. During testing you want to make sure that the strategy performs well on historical data but it's very important to remove periods from the backtest and see how the strategy performed during these out-of-sample...

They have a free service but the amount of data you can pull on a monthly basis is very limited. I tried the API with C# and made a little bit of progress but I found it cumbersome and haven't looked at it for a few months. So yeah I wouldn't know if they were down or not.

I was able to get historical data for bitcoin back to September 2014 on Yahoo. Here are some quick stats: Maximum drawdown of 83.4% on 12/15/2018 (yikes) Current drawdown of 47.7% as of 1/23/2022 Last high was on 11/8/2021 Return YTD is -23.7% Compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) is 80.7% over...

I recommend not using any leverage. 95 trades is a very small sample set. Despite having a nice looking backtest I guarantee you will have future periods where your performance is worse than this and you will question your strategy. If you use leverage you may have nothing left after a long...

I do like VectorVest and have gotten their 1 month trial several times. I've never actually pulled the trigger on a full monthly subscription since their software is very closed and there's no ability to export anything other than a watchlist. I like doing my own data analysis so this was a deal...
