I really like this post! Some people advise to pick one market and know it inside and out. That will result in low capital utilization because most of the time the market will not be "moving pretty". Best to study what "moving pretty" is (can come in many variations), automate it, monitor it...

Any reason why you are limiting yourself to options strategies? What about intra-day directional futures strategies? If the end goal is a good return on capital, why not go after opportunities with lower cost of acquisition (cost as in obtaining and cleaning data, research, etc.).

I am shelving the StockSharp idea. I asked to confirm that their training package would include samples utilizing multiple time frames in a strategy and they said no as multiple time frames in a strategy is not trivial for backtesting but works find for live trading. Uh...OK.

AlgoTerminal acknowledge the bug (which was recently introduced) and it should be fixed in a few weeks.

I believe it was bought by Fidelity and you need a Fidelity brokerage account to use it.

A brief testing of StockSharp looks like it might work as it supports testing/executing a portfolio of strategies. They now offer an app (S# Shell) which uses their APIs and all that is required is to write strategy code. I think I am going to roll the dice and buy the app ($490). If it does...

How about getting out of your house and go talk to people face to face. There...problem (loneliness) solved.

That works fine. The problem I am experiencing is minute data converted to 1 hour data is causing problems with the futures markets closing at 4:15 eastern where the last hour of the day is not included in the data set. I am using regular trading hours (9:30 to 4:15) so I expect the data...

I am now generating strategy code from my system which can be "dropped" directly into AlgoTerminal and executed. That being said, I have discovered a show stopper data issue in AlgoTerminal which if it cannot be resolved, I will have to abandon this platform and look for an alternative for live...

This could be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency. That van is going to plastered all over the news from now until election day. If Republicans fair poorly on Nov 6th, they will be able to point directly to this incident, especially if poll numbers start trending down in the next...

Looks like a nice product! One comment I have is to show how the product is actually going to help the user make money trading as that is the core problem to solve.

Yep. Him, Bill Krystol and George Will are the three stooges of MSNBC.

Do you have a rule that outlines when you move a stop to break even? If so, then you either followed your rule or you did not. If you do not have a rule, you really should, otherwise you will continually find yourself in your current situation.

Notice how they have fox news showing on one of the big screen TVs. I can hear the convo now..."Turn on fox news before the reporters come in so they don't think we are only targeting users/groups favorable to conservatives."

Using my parents as an example, they are mid to late seventies and the house is paid for as well as the cars. My mom still sells real estate part time just to keep busy but they definitely don't need the money as they are able to pay most of their fixed monthly costs with just one social...

So sorry for your loss. The previous owners of our house just buried their 9 year old daughter due to an aggressive form of brain cancer that has a zero percent survival rate. Life can be brutal. Hope you find some relief.

This incident took place in my hometown of Lakeland, FL and Polk County. The sheriff of Polk County (Grady Judd) does not play games as seen in this video: The above video is a text book stand your ground case. The shoplifter shot in the back...not so much.

I don't know how MotiveWave is designed but I assume it is an event based architecture. I have used another product where strategies can be grouped together and you can attach a RiskControl script to the work space. When backtesting the group of strategies, the risk control script...

The thread is working.

Because the guy worked for the Washington Post (was "one of their own"). That being said, the US has always dealt with murderous thugs when it suits our interest. Everyone is acting like this is some new development under Trump.
