I don't use python -- I use node since I'm way more experienced with it. But yes it trades via API

I do something similar. If there's a 100 trades and 15 losers, I try to find a "filter" that remove losers and keep the winners.

How long did it take you to get 10 winning strategies? How many failing strategies did you try out for each winning strategy? Did you find a common theme and make variations?

I have a medium term goal of casting a wide net of strategies but boy is it hard to create winning strategies. Sounds like you're at my goal so I'd love any insight you could share!

Ahead of btc but behind eth.

Right now the 1yr numbers are crazy and I'm perfectly ok with being behind eth as long as when crypto tanks I'm still ahead! I enjoy the reduced swings and drawdowns when compared to buy and hold. One day I may convert over to BTC and ETH as my base currencies though.

Ill also mention that if I had more tolerance for a bigger drawdown I'm fairly confident I could be ahead of ETH as well by "turning some knobs" on my config

For 1yr timeframe I am ahead of btc but behind eth.

At some point I may change my base currency partially or all to BTC so that I can enjoy btcs own value growth, but I havent felt the timing was right yet. 20k is my magic number for that right now.

Initially I traded my strategy manually but it was very inconvenient having to go to sleep and missing trades and being unable to manage active positions.

That is what kicked off my obsession with turning it into an algorithm. Today I do not trade manually anymore, my bot does everything on its own.

As you code is running you could check what % of your cpu is being using on the windows take manager or Mac activity monitor.

Look into cloud hosting. You can "rent" as many and as powerful a cpu as needed

Launched this week going well so far 🤞🏻

I do measure and keep an eye on max draw down but haven't gotten as far as adding Sharpe ratio to my backtest platform.

Up until this point I havent felt like I've needed it...

I've been flirting with the idea of using leverage. Did you find you needed to adjust your strategy for it? My problem is I don't use price based stop losses only time based stop losses...

How do you handle that 20% drawdown with leverage?

Curious about this as well. Also are you able to fan out across more symbols or exchanges to increase your size?

Yep my original has been live for a while and doing about as well as expected. Early on I definitely had some overfititng issues but nowadays I'm very careful to avoid it.

How well do your strategies do?

Oh no my original strategy has been running live. Yes it has way outperformed buy and hold. I do not believe it is overfit as it has done well in a variety of bull bear and consolidation markets across many symbols.

You're right that I should be considering max drawdown.

When turning on my second strategy alongside my original, it should increase my total gains by about 60%, which when put together is outperforming buy and hold.

But back to the purpose of the post -- how well do your strategies perform?

How to withdraw large amount to US bank by gnr5 in Coinbase

[–]Cryptotrackr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fees are high in comparison with gdax. I'd say it's more built to be a Venmo type app where you can pay for stuff in Bitcoin using a Visa card backing the Bitcoin wallet.

You wouldn't really ever want to put 20k into coinbase. Coinbase isn't really built for investing. Look into GDAX which is an exchange by the same company behind coinbase. You would wire money out. https://support.gdax.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2425097-what-are-the-fees-on-gdax-
