Hey Mo08 nice trading week again! Do you have any idea what your annual returns are, ball park?
You don't need to know about Stocks on the Move because you have strategies working just fine! But FYI it's by Andreas Clenow who previously wrote...
Hi HobbyTrading. Just letting you know I have read this entire thread and find it endlessly interesting - particularly as I am following the same...
Don't suppose anyone reading this has experience of the python zipline library (I think it came from Quantopian)? Got two examples of strange...
Just letting folks know that I am still here and still busy with this project - in the spaces between my life obligations at least. But things...
Hi again Mo06. What about spread-betting? From what I can see it is conceptually the same as CFDs but just measured differently. I.e. it's a...
Cheers Mo06. Subsequent to my question I have gone through this entire thread and understand your approach better (rainy Sunday)! I like how you...
Hi @Mo06. Am I right in thinking you only trade the FTSE100 index and a handful of large caps? How have you come by this universe? And pardon my...

Great nuggets here. I haven't caught up on all responses so I don't know if someone has already said, but another danger of writing your own...

Right you are! I'll give that a go. I'm working off EOD data in principle but there are some things I want to code up such as watching my...
Hey userque you sure you can get intraday at tiingo? I had a look at their API and it looked like just EOD.
Great to see it themickey. Kudos re the small caps but I'm staying away from that stuff for a while. I've had my ass burned pretty bad by a couple...
It's great to read this themickey. This is the way I have been drifting with the automation - using it not to do the whole thing but to support me...
For me volume is a key bit of info in a breakout. E.g. is the price move on heavy volume? Also volume feeds into my measure of liquidity which...
Yep already have lost money. But I've gone most of the way to earning it back. Not that I won't lose it again!
Lol themickey! But, erm, that is ultimately what these things are meant to be, is it not? TBH I think the enthusiasm comes from the feeling...
Been a lot of changes, both in the way I use this system, the things it does and the way I am trading. I knew this would happen and I wanted it to...
