With the ts there wasn’t a very good curve in the first year, while with the breakeven it becomes smoother.
Hope you can check it and confirm my assumption.
Here you have the old version with the trailing stop and the new one with the breakeven. US TECH 100 5MIN TFOver the years you didn’t succeed to have a nice income with automated systems?
Yes you are correct … I didn’t! 🙂
I gone full circle, a few times even. I am not good at coding (only ever done PRT) and while I was chuffed when I started at actually getting my own Systems running and even making small profit, I soon realised they were rubbish!
Then, in my naivity (sp?) I thought complex strategies (which I couldn’t even understand) must be better than my own simple efforts. Well some deffo are but so many are not!
Then I thought … I’ve made it! I’ve got x number of Systems (mixture of my own and off here) making money. Then I hit a bad patch and it all goes downhill once again!
But after Demo Forward Testing what must be approaching 3000 Systems (it was > 2000 at last count of System .itf files on my PC about 18 months ago) I feel like I have 10 to 15 Systems that I may start trading Live when V11 comes out from IG.
But who knows I may hit a bad patch again before we get v11 and then it might be back to the drawing board again!? 🙁
Apart from < 20 trades (Manual trades on the IG Platform) I have not traded (on PRT) since May 2018! I deactivated PRT Live in May 2018.
PS
So 3000 Systems Tested with 15 okay … that’s 0.5% … which is a similar ratio others have mentioned on here.
A long hard road to travel isn’t it!?
I would have given up had I not found this Community! Well done Nicholas!!
@Grahal I can feel you… Same story, I was convinced that I had found the right way with manual trading.. 1.5k in 15 days, then I lost everything plus another k.
And now I’m here, as you, trying to find the best algo portfolio in order to save my butt from the boring job that will wait for me after my master’s degree.
In one month I found 5 or 6 algos that I think would perform well in live, but as you said.. Who knows what can happen?!One thing is sure, people become rich with algo, so it’s possible.. much more than with the manual trading that I think is more like a “scam”.
Let’s continue to collaborate and let’s hit those profits 😀1 user thanked author for this post.
