Automated trading with statistical scalping algorithms

Thank you very much for the compliment traider :)

I do not wish to abuse the hospitality of this great forum to advertise.

Let's stick to actual contents here :)
I do automated trading as well on the side for some trading ideas I want to test. And I discretionary trade as well.

With automated trading

My testing plan is simple for me:

1. Program a trading idea
2. Back test , play, test and optimize from 2011-2016 for 45 degree curve
3. If pass step 2 forward test 2016-2020 for good results
4. If pass step 3 market replay 2021
5. If pass step 4, trade live money.

lol, I am still on step 2. Oh well, just doing the best I can with what I can.

I only one that made it to step 4 and it failed. oh well.

That means it was a good idea to include the "forward test" :-)

"45 degrees curves" for pnl do not actually exist :-) those are merely backtesting artifacts :-)

"just doing the best I can with what I ... " :-) this seems taken from a video of mine struggling with backflips, lol :-)
 
For now, I have "loaded" under watch only 4 instruments:

CL FUT 202202 NYMEX 1000 Light Sweet Crude Oil [ CLG2, 256019290, mult: 1000]
ES FUT 202203 GLOBEX 50 E-mini S&P 500 [ ESH2, 461318816, mult: 50]
BRR FUT 202203 CMECRYPTO 5 CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate [ BTCH2, 517004249, mult: 5]
SI FUT 20220127 NYMEX 5000 NYMEX Silver Index [ SIF2, 405978963, mult: 5000]

I have activated auto-trading only on the CL "layer" so far. A bit more than one day has elapsed.

The orders so far on the CL layers are represented in the following picture (bue=buy, red=sell):
