  1. Hello SunTrader,

    I disagree.

    The back test of an algo says it can be done forever.

  2. Hello hilmy83,

    I seriously envy those can code AND code a strategy with robust Edge!

    Coding is easy, finding Edge is not.

    This is not the fault of VPS. Even if the VPS tripped the circuit for a few seconds and price skipped over your stop during that time, your stop should still be able to get you out once the power is restored.

    Are you and your wifey using the exact identical algo on the same timeframe, tick by tick? It just doesn't add up.

    Do you know a good coder he can hire to help? We could all pitch in on this thread so he can get it double checked and potentially fixed.

    you just found 1 flaw lol i stopped counting at 1000 - all platforms have these quirks that you must know how to work around better than the developers know their own program.

    Not off the bat, but there is a community of freelance coders out there who will be happy to chip in for a fee (you might even find one on this board). However, it's in your best interest to just learn the damn language in the long run.

    C#, which Quantower is written in, isn't that hard to learn. In fact, it's rated as one of the easier ones to learn among high-level programming languages. Or, better yet, let me rephrase that in another way. Even if C# is difficult, you need only learn just enough to code and test your algo and don't have to bother with the rest.

    This is basically the solution i'm going with. Whatever errors the algo is making up to when the PnL alert is sent, i'm closing everything out.

    IT's funny cause I got that snippet of code cause I asked the dev to add a flat rule before session is over. So I'm transferring that logic over the moment algo "thinks" it's done. Don't really care if i lose little/win little due to errors. Just need to have this flattened at all costs.

    Is your algo running ETH or RTH?
    If RTH, closing out at 15:55 or 16:00?
