Developing "Spartan"

I've started storing IB scanner results:



For example:

 

News trading is where it is .. in FX.

 

Lots of money recently in GBPUSD!

 

Implemented tracking this stuff, just started letting it run. Will be interesting to keep track.

 

I remember watching a YouTube video a long time ago in which somebody made code to analyze Twitter feeds about sentiment related to certain stock tickers. He used that to place trades. I don’t remember whether the outcome was profitable.

 

I doubt that it's profitable just like that. This is more just to see how things shape up during the day and whether I can use the information in some way. Probably not, so it's just a fun exercise I do when the market is not moving.

 

Just curious....before taking on this mammoth task of creating your own trading platform, did you first get a chance to review Ninja Trader ? I am not a subscriber, but I've witnessed some really impressive charting and indicators using it.

 

Yes and every few months someone posts about a limitation in NT that justifies my decision.

 

PS: not a mammoth task.

 

So just a quick update on how useful this data has been so far this morning:

1. Identified SCS around 9:25
2. Entered SCS long at open
3. ???
4. Profit

Of course, trading 100 shares is nothing lol.
