Looking for an Edge !

Been trading for over 20 yrs, trading full time for 3 or more years...
Lately I have some lower latency strategies that I have traded manually w some success.
But I need someone to work with that has the coding/programming/backtesting ability to help me dial these in & figure out if the success I have had was random. These are fairly simple that someone w coding ability could do in their sleep. Been in this plenty long enough to know there is no holy grail, si I am not some pie in the sky greamer fwiw. Just wanting someone to collab with & help me flesh this out...
Thanks in advance
 
There is a distinct edge in this chart ....... see if you can spot it.
Here's a tip..........it's in the blueish line.

I do stock and long only for past 10 years. I look at daily charts(about 4000 charts) every day. Boring! :rolleyes: Each chart takes less than a second. Spend a bit more if the trend catches my eyes. I use 4 simple moving averages (14, 50, 100, 150 and 200). I learn to be patient and once the trend is right, I am in and keep watching. If it breaks trend or side way for a while, I am out. Getting out and accept loss protects the account. Just keep repeating this boring steps again and again. :)

4000 charts each day manually? Sounds very inefficient? Isn't there any way to filter through them on certain conditions with some code?

I also have a daily strategy that can be applied to all stocks, however instead of having to screen through thousands and thousands of charts each day i coded some filters, things i would normally look for manually and by doing so i can limit the charts i have to screen manually.

Even if you can just eliminate 50% automatically, that would save you a lot of time. Like for example only show stocks that closed green yesterday or only show stocks that are trading above MA, ...
 
I'm looking for an edge…

It must have few indicators or variants

It must work on all counters/stocks bonds , indices , currencies , commodities etc.

It must not need any backtesting . . . All past potential trades should be clearly visible.

It must eliminate lag in moving averages

It should be able to withstand stress-tests

Technical analysis should be mathematically verified.

It must be able to scalp , day/swing trade and pick long term tops and bottoms

It must not die on me.

You forgot to add.
It must be workable for someone with one day's experience because that's all I have..
