Fully Automated Trading Journal - $50k per month goal

10K a day! 3.65 million a year!!

Hi there Alec Baldwin, to paraphrase Ed Harris: "What are you doing here wasting your time with us bums"
Rest assured, there are people here making more than I and/or for less risk than I take.
 
Wow 2.5 million a year!
Order entry is manual, always.
I use APIs for live data and calculations.
I do not day trade, and hold for 2-6 months.
Event driven investing and arbitrage.

For such strategies, it may be hard to achieve such consistent return stream of 10k a day. Are you referring to average over the year? Any delta hedging involved for your strategies?

What's the risk capital involved?
& performance characteristic like sharpe, sortino, calmar?

You are correct in being sceptical and I am right in being private here. I have nothing to sell and will not be raising money from investors (not very ambitious).
 
what are you using ?
broker api ? data feed api? language ?
any special platform/technology used ?

I am not that tech minded nor interested in execution speed or automation. I try to make the best with whatever is available, namely IBKR tools exclusively.
The only other thing I use is a little tool called QuiteRSS to track announcements.
I spend my days reading SEC fillings instead.
