Probably most of the people in this forum are familiar with famous historical financial bubbles, where the last one, 2007-2009 almost derailed the whole system. Watching the US stocks market performance this year might cause "Vertigo". However, I see a big difference in regards to regular...

Get the free platform Ninjatrader and you'll be able to do it

I don't really understand this. You don't want to share its channel cause "he's been burned" in youtube, but at the same time you say: "........ I've validated his edge myself. But he doesn't sell anything. " So what is it? Why has he been burned if he has an edge?

So, it's a combination of bracket and trailing orders, at a certain time of the day...etc, but the only thing that he isn't saying is which "Percent profitable" of trades his method does. I could understand that you open positions after the initial opening rush, but trading at a certain time of...

INMO, yes, a retail trader can succeed in Algo trading. It'd depend on his strategy. On the other hand, I don't put much trust in M.L because it depends on pattern recognition and markets are always changing them. It's more useful to have a more global abstract idea that could work regardless of...

- Avoid indicators and learn to trade based on price action and perhaps trade volume - Always put a stoploss order with your position. If stopped out, take it as a learning lesson. - Begin with few broad-market ETF or most liquid futures as E-mini o Micros-mini - Try to learn the fundamentals of...

Perhaps this story might help you to create some ideas. Obviously, the chart is not the same but there are some useful ideas if you trade options: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-17/a-guy-on-reddit-turns-766-into-107-758-on-two-options-trades

My suggestion: I've seen pretty often the advantage to have a stoploss order triggered by the system logic and not by a an arbitrary amount. Perhaps include some logic in the core of your system to generate these signals might be more efficient. By the way, this what I did. Obviously there's a...

Can you tell if the market will go sideways? that situation could destroy an account under trend following strategy. Don't get me wrong, I try always to stick to the trend, the problem you'll never know when the trend is really changing, so there's a toll to pay when you're positioning in an...

Possible certainly it is because all you need is reading the tick by tick data and applying your strategy's rules. But practical or even that you might finish a minimum timespan of data is other matter. Unless you have a strategy that trades a few times a day, perhaps. Still, it doesn't seem...

TWS doesn't have any backtesting tool. You'd have to program your own backtesting engine. Since it might take you some time to develop it how you wish it, I'd rather suggest you try Ninjatrader. Be aware there are actually two versions, 7 or 8. The 7 version is lighter and functional but it has...

If you're using IB for more than 10 yrs, clearly you must be aware that they reset their servers at that time ( 12:00am until 12:20 aprox, it varies sometimes ) . So, it's normal you see some disconnection ( pink lines...etc ) until it reconnects automatically. But you might have some issue, if...

IBKR is the ticker of the company in the exchange. It's the same company. You just have to look the version Lite. By the way, all that plans of Zero commission is cause it works in a more "open" spread Bid-Ask.

Thanks for your interesting view and tips. I think I'm gonna redesign my Algo to include all data, still not convinced that letting out 45 mins is a smart move.

That reason seems to make some sense, however, knowing that E-mini futures is one of the more liquid and watched instruments of the broad market, it seems an arbitrary and suspicious rule; supreming the day last 45 mins of market action left everybody scratching their heads and of course the...

As you know the Globex trading hours for these products go like this: Regular hours --> from 6:00pm until 4:15pm next day AND from 4:30pm until 5:00pm So, according to this session trading hours, the expected is to have...

Futures decisions on the markets by all participants are unpredictable ( a random component, the free will of any sentient being ) but the key here is the actual general market trend is possible to read it through statistics and it keeps certain inertia until it changes once again. It's just a...
