How it works?

  1. Just FYI there was no image attached (at least none that I could see).

    How long did it take you to develop this approach?

    Trying to attach as a file this time. Here is a link if it doesn't work.

    Automation itself - about 3 months. Mostly troubleshooting.

  3. Awesome. I meant more like the whole process of deciding what signals to use, what kind of things you would trade, etc.

    A couple of years to get to something meaningful. I didn't deviate much from Equities though, they made more sense to me than Futures or Forex, which is very subjective of course. Also, it takes a great deal of time to learn even one thing. I just guessed that it will be less of competition when it comes to automating those because there will be fewer people capable of running them on a large number of stocks (let's say 3000-6000), especially when it involves real-time monitoring of hundreds and a very short window of opportunity to get in.

    Fewer retail people capable of doing that + markets not liquid enough to put the institutional size in one go without moving a price a great deal = profit

  5. I have written a few automated strategies that work. They don't make as much money as I can make trading manually, but they do work.
