Scalping_My Way with ACV

[Daniel.a]

Here are the results for the Minis - scroll above to see the Micros. Using a Large Margin per Contract - for the size of the account. While this Algo can trade up to 20 Contracts - because of the Large Margin - it takes longer to add another Contract - which makes for smarter and therefore - safer trading - in my opinion.

I am curious about understanding, if your posted absurdly good looking back test reports, is also possible to execute in live trading against a broker or its just fantasy... 1: Are you trading this algo you posted with real money ? 2: During any of these zoom or skype events, do you execute the algo against real money account ? 3: What is your average trade usd using @es#c?

Obviously you are not in any way forced to answer, but if you want anyone to view your MC backtest reports as not just pure fantasy, it would be nice to see that you deliver similar result trading them live against broker.

Multicharts reports have its flaws, and execution engine also, making it very difficult to execute your type of algo as efficient as your backtest report in mc.

I am very interested learning from fellow experienced quants, so happy to change my slightly negative bias against fantasy backtests..

I know you dont "backtest", but you are showing a backtest report only, to display results.

I agree - Multicharts has its flaws - and so do most of the other platforms. I have stated before - personally - I am a Discretionary trader - as I do NOT fully trust - Full Automation. That may sound crazy - but there are too many things that can go wrong and I almost guarantee - if you are NOT watching - then something bad could happen. I just trade the Algo generated Signals - and I trade a Maximum of 2 hours each morning. If I make my Net Daily Goal in Dollars - great - if I don't - great.

I do have big clients - which I have mentioned previously - so I won't get into that here - except to say - they trade the Algos - Discretionary. I warned them in the beginning - if they go Full Auto - they accept the risk.

Yes - I trade the Algo with Real Money - but that is NOT what the Zoom meeting is about. I offered some Free Help - on a Discretionary trading method I have used for years - which I still trade at times. While I do trade my Algo Signals - I still love trading my old method. You actually need just One chart - and know where to add your Support and Resistance Lines. NO DAMN INDICATORS - other than the S&R Lines.

I am NOT selling anything to Retail traders - I just offer Free Help at times.

I am a Scalper mainly - just go for a couple ticks - but sometimes I will do a Scalp_Trend combination trade - depending on what I see. All this has been explained in this thread - so I suggest you look farther back in the thread - if you want more information.

As I have also said - this thread is like my Playground. Most Retail Traders will lose - and go out of business - why - because they make things way to complicated. I add things to this tread at times - just to get traders to "THINK". I find MOST Indicators and charts with a bunch of lines - almost TOTAL BS.

By the way - even though it may say "Back-Testing Strategy Performance Report" - it always says that - whether you Back-Test or NOT. While I can Back-Test - the pictures I have added - have NOT been Back-Tested.

So - if you or any other trader - wants some FREE Help - contact me - I may be able to help - when I have time.

At 3pm - Pacific Time Zone - about half an hour ago - the Market opened here in the USA - kind of Slow - but here is a picture of the Auto Signals just generated. I added a Vertical Line for each chart - for the 1st trade. If I was trading today - I would Enter when I see the Arrow - that Simple. My Algo will Automatically - CLOSE the trade when it hits is Profit or Loss - again - that Simple.

I will NOT be answering anymore questions - if you want to watch sometime - and if I have the time - I can bring you into Zoom or Skype.

Again - I am NOT selling anything nor am I looking for Retail Clients.

any real result???

any real result???

I don't know if you remember or not - but go to Page 31 of this thread - at the Bottom - you commented. You watched the Signals in Real Time.

If you have time - I will bring you into a room - let you watch again. You will need Skype. If so - send me a Private message with your Skype Name.

I have a lot of big money clients - that use my Algos. I am NOT looking for Retail Clients though. If you want some information - be glad to offer some help.

 

[darkray707]

Yes I watched the signals in real time. A lot of folks here are asking two things I guess.
1. Can this be profitable in realtime with autotrade function from MC
2. Is the signal real?

For number 2, I watched in real time how the signal pops up on the chart. I don't think it is lie at all.

I'm just curious about the execution part which is related to the number one question above.
Real trade and backtest result could be drastically different when the range bars are small or when the market moves super fast. Sometimes market moves without filling traders order thus thats why there is like a one-tick-confirmed-function on MC's backtest. If it moves one tick above my TP, filled is confirmed. I was just curious if there is real result came out following through your algo in live trading because popping signals on chart doesn't guarantee my orders were filled.

 

[Daniel.a]

I dont think "the signal is not real" but seeing a backtest report specially using a tick chart, with a this amount of trades, not knowing the execution logic and you explaining the algo you are using (I dont mean just saying that its created without backtest, and looking at this bar only), order types and settings in MC, to create this backtest report. When is order sent to broker, next bar at open, this bar on close, limit orders or market orders for entry exit and stops ?, commissions included ? slippage ? anyone can show an incredible backtest. But to achieve the backtest in live trading, is a total different thing, and even try to replicate the backtest by copying trades by hand (since I understand threadowner does not trade these backtested algos live in automation, but rather trying to replicate it by hand?!). I am curious, what is your average trade? in backtest AND same for live trading ?(not winning trade).

These are questions that might help threadowner convince readers, that backtest reports is not just fiction, which most backtest reports are.

It is obviously not needed if thread is just to impress with backtest reports.

If you can replicate efficiency in live trading, i will take my hat off to you sir.

While the Performance Report does say - "Back-Testing Strategy Performance Report" - they are NOT Backtested - although it can be should I decide to do that. All I do is put in - the Profit Target in Ticks - my Disaster Stop - my BreakEven Stop - how many Contracts to trade etc. The Report - ALWAYS says that - I cannot turn that off.

As far as your first question - I do NOT Autotrade - I am a Discretionary trader.

If you want to come into Skype sometime - I will show you - I just tell the Algo what I want - it does the rest - with absolutely NO Backtesting. I call this code - my Dirty AI. I have mentioned in previous posts - why I call it that. Hint: help from some Programmer friends of mine at Microsoft Campus and Google Campus - who have offices near where I live. As far as Microsoft goes - I am near their MAIN complex - for the WORLD - LOL.

By the way - I have been to the Microsoft Campus - for Meetups - before Covid happened. Believe it or not - some of their Programmers - also trade.

 

[Daniel.a]

Thank you for explaining about Microsoft Campus and Google Campus, you dev friends, and that you live close by.

So you are a discretionary trader, that only show backtest reports, of an high frequency algo using tick charts, that you dont trade. With execution logic and backtest settings, that is not explained.

Imho, there is no chance that a discretionary trader would be able to replicate even close to the same efficiency as that backtest report, so what is the point with that backtest report, that is impossible to replicate in real live trading ?

Again, I would be happy to be proven wrong here, and I would congratulate you if there is any substance of these reports.

NO - I use Range Bars - lot different than a Tick chart.

Tell you what - I see you are in the UK - but you are Online now. Do you have Skype and some time right now? You will need a Headset_Mic - to talk - otherwise - there will be Feedback - which is not good.

 

[darkray707]

Range bars has ghost ticks which makes it differ from the Kase bar.

Thank you for your words for offering me to attend your Skype session and to the others to attend the sessions too.

Simply because of the fact that the backtest result are based upon the 'full auto way', all of our question is, will it be profitable when it works on full auto way in live market with real account not SIM account.

Also since the backtest options are hidden, especially without tick confirmed function, we just think that the real result might be very different from the real one. I'm pretty sure MC submits order faster than human does even though it might be slower than HFTs out there.

So do you assume that running your algo on real account with real money, the result might come out very different from the backtest result which you have posted?
