What broker are you guys on where you don't pay any fees? I was on TOS. Do you need to trade futures or forex because your algo needs really liquid markets to get in and out without too much slippage?
I was going to try forex, but I can never figure out the lot sizes and pnl potential.

Yeah screw the brokers, they are the financial equivalent of real estate brokers. The fees are what make it hard to turn profits in trading, not the trading.
my guy...let me pat you on the back. You´re the dream of every market maker.
More like their nightmare, as I'm typically a bottom dweller, never sell for a loss...only average down. Fees though...they suck.
Good Morning globalarbtrader,
Thanks for the response.
I have no idea @globalarbtrader. You are the master at algo building. I simply do not know how to build a successful algo that makes money every year and back test. So, I will just stick to what I know.
From my experience with algo testing, I honestly believe curve fitting is the honest answer to get rich from trading systems.
Just curve fit the entire data series and go for the best.
How would you characterize "best?"
So I see IKBR offers an algo api or something. It looks very complicated from a brief look at the documentation. Isn't there anywhere I can say create my own algo and actually trade on the same platform?
Here is what I want:
Here is what I want:
- I open an account.
- I deposit funds.
- I select CREATE ALGO.
- I choose parameters such as buy if rsi is below 20 -----> sell if rsi is above 40
- Then I list the stocks that I want to apply the algo to, and the time frame.
- I turn slider to activate algo from off --->on.
- I wait, rubbing my palms together for my next Lambo.
