Looking for an experienced trading bot builder/mentor

Exactly. So I take what you say with a huge grain of salt as I do with any other content. Certainly would I not shell out 110 dollars for a book of yours unless I had some better ideas about how you professionally perform. Why should I?

Let me ask a different question. To anyone who reads *my* books, and is reading this thread, why should you believe anything *I* say, given I have no verifiable trading track record?

All finance types who actually work in the industry can't trade. They are lucky if they can generate 6% a year trading their own account.

They may look intelligent, sound intelligent, smell intelligent, stand intelligent -- but they can't trade for their lives.

Not true.

He is a fund manager and so has an audited track record.

WTF is a 'trade room'?

Disclosure: I wrote a chapter in that book.

Rob

don't tell me, show me his audited track record...
and a trade room is the opposite of a book salesman.

3 books is tons?

I wouldn't trust that trend following works just because one guy has made money doing it. That's a sample of one. Insufficient data.

books are obsolete before the ink dries. You can trade or write books and be a book salesman, like Al Brooks

Bad once are. For the sake of staying on topic - Howard Bandy and Lauren Bensdorp have still performing trading systems in their books published years ago. I haven’t read Rob’s books only skimmed thru, but spoken with couple of people here who based their trading entirely on his systems laid out there and are satisfied with results.

Neither demeanour or track record alone lands credibility in my book. Occasionally, few bits of unrelated information together create a high probability that I found a gem of a person worth listening to on a subject. Often it takes years to get to that point, as forward testing of their ideas is the best judge.

I think for a sole trader, full automation or even partial automation is an impossible task.

Apparently I've been doing the impossible for decades. Thanks for the ego bump.

You keep on dodging my questtion: what lends him any credibility. Why should anyone take his content seriously?

I guess it depends on if one believes what he writes about himself.

This site is maintained by Andreas F. Clenow, Chief Investment Officer of ACIES Asset Management AG.

A Swedish national based in Zurich, Switzerland, I have had the pleasure of taking part in several hedge fund enterprises. Having been a co-founder and partner of both onshore and offshore hedge funds, I’ve had quite an interesting ride so far. With a grounding both in trading, quant modelling and programming, my core strength lay within cross asset quantitative trading.

Located in Switzerland since 2002, I’m currently trading futures and equities for individual accounts as well as hedge funds. My career started out as a magazine salesman at age ten and continued with my first company start-up as a teenager, where I provided consultancy services in computer security solutions, enterprise networking and programming during my university studies.

I later joined Reuters Consulting in Stockholm as Nordic Manager for Analytics Consulting division, covering Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Baltics. After an offer from the Reuters European HQ, I moved to Geneva as Global Head of Equity and Commodity Analytics Modelling and later Global Head of Institutional Charting and Technical Analysis before I left to start up my first small hedge fund with initial seed money of around 30 million dollars and I have been expanding in the hedge fund space ever since.

My first book, Following the Trend, quickly became an international best seller.

This website will host information and resources related to cross asset trend following futures trading, a subject I believe myself to know a little bit about. It’s my intention that it be a no hype, honest look at how this segment of the market really works.

Nothing on this website is meant as offer or advice to buy or sell any securities. This site is explaining quantitative financial ideas, concepts, models and approaches, and no recommendations of any kind are made, explicit or implie

writing is just words, and words suffer from the weakness of words - insstead show me his track record, not where to find it.

Hey ph1l, ValeryN, and other codemeisters, (that excludes me) good to see you chime in.
I have non-urgent question, gratitude, and patience, lol.

For a noob non-coder phase, any example strategies' profitability seems subordinate to a
foundation of methods that can be modified by a motivated newbie and result in functional tools
alongside picking up some Python foundation.
If the attached marketing sheet accomplishes its intent, then for that foundational phase, from
starting out, to gearing up, to setting up and running a couple of modified scripts, profitable or not, how long would you think something like that process might take, Ballpark range? a year, 3 years, more?

Thank you

By that rule of thumb Trump should be in his second term right now....
