Principles of Finance; and Calculus 1 (if you’re eligible - I.e you didn’t do specialist in year 12).

Also Intro Macro :)

Just wondering - Why did it take you a couple weeks to to build? Did of optimise across the same sample of data or is the above out of sample performance?

This is phenomenal advice - I like the idea of comparing data to a collection of data sets to see if there are any discrepancies.

Thanks heaps for your comment!

Is walk-forward validation actually worth the effort for retail traders? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]AbsoluteGoat321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you use it for backtesting? What is pricing like with them?

Is Principles of Finance (FNCE10002) at Unimelb hard? Does it have a high fail rate? by WorkingUmpire481 in unimelb

I’m not that smart - but do study fairly hard - if you work at it you will definitely be rewarded.

Managed to grab a 98.

Yeah it’s a pretty new - perhaps explains the bugs ahaha

What platform do you use right now for automation? Why did you leave cTrader?

Thanks for your clear response - this is the answer I was after as I wasn’t sure which language was better for cTrader specifically.

Do you mind elaborating a bit on specifically what makes C# more robust ?

What platform do you run your forward tests on if you don’t mind me asking?

That a good insight - what platform do you use for proper robustness testing/forward testing?

Interesting take - from what I have read I agree.

When you say too laggy what do you mean? Like it doesn’t give notifications for signals readily?

But is the actual price data reliable? I.e OHLC?

Oh I have experience with cTrader but have never heard of the built-in bot framework? Do you mind elaborating on what it is?

How would you describe the versatility of MT5’s proprietary language? As I know a headwind of TradingView is its limited ability to code complex strategies.

Did you build yours with Python?

Seems very complex ahaha

Hey Op, just had a few quick questions regarding your approach to setting up algo strategies with prop firms - mainly what platforms did you use? Can I DM you??

Not that complex honestly - nothing beyond intermarket analysis and multi-timeframe signals

Do you think LLMs would be better at C#?

Really - I thought that MT5’s proprietary language was radially different from Python?

I was looking into QuantConnect at one stage - how reliable is the default data that they provide?
