Hello Trading Friends! Of the many evaluation firms, are there any you'd suggest I look at particularly for automated trading approaches? Here are some considerations I have: - I need to use exogenous order signals generated from data science models (Python or R) - I think I can do this using NinjaTrader or MT4/5 - I have data feeds and historical data from IB - In retrospective backtest, I have hold-times that average around 20 minutes and use signals from minute data in the modeling - it's not very high frequency - I would like a situation where an eval would lead to "A-book" trading where trades reach the market and trader interests are aligned - I would like to trade major indices and commodities/futures, with crypto/forex and SSF being a bonus TradeDay may meet these requirements, but I'd be interested in other suggestions.
Have a look at APEX. But I would rather trade CFDs and go with FTMO, which is best prop firm around. Actually have a 10% discount offer.
Thanks for your reply. Apex does not allow bots and based on what I have read, FTMO is all sim trading. I won't make a value judgment on that, but I want actual alignment with the firm and to avoid a setup where my success costs them money.
