Yeah nice work OP, keep posting fantasy backtests. But hey all, relax, just remember, the backtests posted by OP is NOT backtested ... This is all BS. Again, what is the point, of posting backtest results, that no one, can replicate in live trading ? fantasy ego stroking ?
I think OP blocked me for asking a question on backtest. I didn't know you can block on here but I can no longer see any posts. OP is softer than toilet paper lol... someone needs to get him a box of tissues
Ohh, yeah I am also blocked, .. I wonder why he blocks people calling him out on BS, if there was no BS, since its easy to prove me wrong.
Hello VSTscalper, Thank you for the response. ohhhh, I am sorry. You did state this not backtested with software. Ok cool beans. AWESOME work buddy. Yesss, man I lost alot of darn money when I traded that algo live, luckily I turned it off. Good work on your algo and thank you for showing. Glad you got something working
Hello VSTscalper, Thank you for asking I am using NinjaTrader8 with # C programming. It is pretty good once you know what to do and not do lol
An algo is usually written instructions in a math format on your methodology which is meant to straight jacket you on how you want to trade. So, simply put, it's your system built for you. How it never made money when you traded it.....obviously your method is flawed or the algo writing was flawed or you lack discipline to follow the system.
Hello themickey, Thank you for the comment. I want to make sure I understand you. You are actually correct. When I used the right setting in the back test, the theory failed, so my trading theory/trading idea I thought was profitable, actually was not. Not the software fault, it was my theory just flat out failed. and the backtester proved this. Please help me understand Are you stating that my that a algo/system should be created based on how I trade manually or discretionary trade?
Hello SML. First off, I don't backtest. Once upon a time I did, but the results never pleased me. I used to run Amibroker for many years and backtested extensively. These days I use no Amibroker, I have no charting software, not required for how I do things. I trade manually, systematically and discretionally and use algos, several. How you trade and how an algo should be written should rely on common sense and observation. The algo is like a prompt or railway track, to keep bringing you back, or to stop you wandering. If you have a good working system, for you, nothing will beat it. So why deviate. As you mature, then tweak it. Should you come up with an entirely new system, that's good too, just write it all down in an algo, review it a hundred times, then go trade it!
