Bob, thanks. i do think differently. from my experience, getting fills should not be a problem when trading strategies as slow as mine. and if it became necessary, i could modify the limits to buy at the ask and sell at the bid; the stocks i'm interested in are the most liquid and the entire...

yes. i use higher time frames and my strategies make 1 or 2 trades per week, i have backtested them extensively and seen the results in real time for months. i want to automate the execution to get myself out of the way and let the strategies run without interference.

good day to everyone. i am working on developing a setup to trade options automated with interactive brokers' api and i could use a lot of advice. i have been doing some research into this matter and i now think that c# or python are programming languages that could allow me to create a...

nah. that's not the way to develop profitable strategies. i have created hundreds of strategies. i have 10+ that are consistently profitable. i know because i always use ample data (4 to 13 years) to create my strategies and then evaluate them on ample out of sample data (at least 2 years). i...

i sent this by email to a friend, so here are some backtests for three symbols, for all of 2018 to date, trading one share in all cases. all three are profitable if they had been traded on options, and on aapl and nvda the largest individual losing trades were on positions held around earnings...

your post is very interesting, i fully agree with your experience regarding developing automated strategies. i would be interested in reading any further information you felt like sharing about your systems (what platforms do you use, whether your systems completely automated or you place...

you have been shown a couple of actionable, profitable, credible trading systems and couldn't be bothered to approve of any of them. let's see your superior, unbeatable systems then. show us better results on the qqq for the weeks i sampled or stop wasting everybody's time. show us your...

i'm looking for help - collaboration from strangers with a shared interest in trading, i chose to be open and honest about all the relevant factors in this case from the start. i am indeed a hard worker, i hold two university degrees, i speak 5 languages going on 6, i'm passionate about finance...

i can't backtest the systems in positions in options, but it is possible to backtest how the systems would have performed if trading equities and then just make an approximation of the resulting value of options.

i have previously exchanged messages with Aquarians, he's a cool guy. i will send him an email with further information about the system i have in mind. he does know how long options are priced and how risk is perfectly defined in that kind of positions, so that shouldn't be an issue. the...

i have developed hundreds of strategies. i have backtested all of them to be able to tell what works and what doesn't. retail traders have a good chance to make good money with rather simple strategies on high enough time frames. as long as prices continue to be bought higher and sold lower in...

for illustrative purposes, here is a sample of the trades my system would have taken on the qqq etf since the last week of september. it's important to note that qqq, and all other instruments that follow indices, would be the worst to trade as they are the least volatile and also suffer from a...

jaja. hilarious. today was a market holiday. i used it to wash and wd-40 my bicycle by hand, cook and to create this post at 2100 hours. so much for laziness. i have developed some winning systems and will make the necessary adjustments to overcome the obstacles that are keeping me from...

the strategy i'm interested in executing typically places between zero and two trades per symbol per week. it also requires small discretionary adjustments after big gaps in price, so it wouldn't be the most conducive strategy to try and automate. also, i have some experience coding on...

folks, regards to everyone. thanks to months and years of hard work i have developed a number of robust and profitable trading systems. for the last few weeks i have been trying to trade them by hand but i, personally, have been the weakest link in my setup and my own biggest obstacle to...

i want to point out some facts about nflx that the member who started this thread must give a lot of consideration to: - nflx has not been profitable in years, its free cash flows have been negative for tens of consecutive trimesters and they have no horizon to even begin to reverse this...

hilarious. this member urgently needs to go back to primary school to learn the very important skill of reading comprehension. - in 2009 the s&p bottomed somewhere around 900 points, by 2018 it has consistently been trading above 2,700 points. - meanwhile, in the usa there are pretty much the...
