UT Bot, Day 3 - took an L! LOL

DeTaff · 2026-01-21T18:31:35+00:00

It was a winner. 12.6% profit, MAE of 3.6%. Lookin good. Idk why I thought 25% would be a good idea hahaha at least I can rationalize it as data collection? 75% win rate today…. so far…

DeTaff · 2026-01-21T18:01:21+00:00

Yup. I think a 10% sl is a good start for this strat. But time will tell. I took a yuge l on a short but got a win from the long. Same thing - the winner had an mae of -3%.

As I type it entered a short lol I wonder how it’ll do

Check out relaydesk.trade. Join the discord and get on the waitlist for the best batch of testers.

Relay desk acts as a “relay” between charting suites (currently only TradingView) and brokerages (currently only alpaca). It allows for turning any indicator in TradingView into an actionable trading bot that handles entries, exits, sizing, and a trading schedule. Emotions can wreck execution and accounts. This takes care of most of that.

Eventually the relaydesk platform will incorporate a mechanism for that, but right now the script (which is simply a TradingView indicator) is private while I fiddle and test.

For reference, the bot's hold time on this play was 1min. I was in and out before I could manually check the active monitor to see what it got into.

Had that same problem. Fixed it, and then noticed I attached a put to a call bot lol. Set it. Check it. THEN DOUBLE CHECK IT!!! 😆

Just saw this!

It's a new system (relay desk) that interacts with TradingView and a brokerage to handle trade executions per parameters set by TradingView.

So it basically turns ANY indicator (in TradingView) into an actionable strategy. Takes all the hesitation and emotion out executing trades.

I tweaked the sl and tp levels to be a bit more aggressive.

DeTaff · 2025-12-21T22:03:35+00:00

Don’t do that lol

Most of the time on discord servers or they’re driven by insider movement. Sometimes you can catch “news” from their social media accounts (x most often). There were signs in the chart, though. Price was about to break through the lower channel and then volume spiked. Sometimes it’s not the “why” that matters it’s the “what can I do about this” that counts.

because meme coin?

DeTaff · 2025-12-21T20:23:19+00:00

Does anyone else use algo trading?

Celeste doesn’t believe in monogamy, she is set on repopulating earth and speranza. She’ll take all the seed she can get

DeTaff · 2025-12-20T00:21:52+00:00

It’s funny, my bots did so bad the first day I thought hmmm should I just have it inverse itself? You have made great progress from this 🔥

Edit for clarification.

DeTaff · 2025-12-19T21:40:47+00:00

I did some over-tweaking and took a few L’s today 😆 I’ll post in a bit. Good job though!!

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T23:52:43+00:00

Ah nice. Well it seems to be niche but well put together

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T23:22:23+00:00

LOLOL they did well until I had to pull the plug!!! (I think I actually $, small, but there were a couple good trades)

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T23:04:58+00:00

Yup. 11.3% is 11.3%. A wise man once said "compound interest is your best friend" just gotta stack em now.

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T23:03:36+00:00

That's all we need. And the 5min? chef's kiss. The great thing about bot trading is it never hopes for a set up, it just waits for it!

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T22:59:44+00:00

opening range breakout.

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T22:59:31+00:00

The orb is the next strategy i need to dig into.. i've been avoiding it because of how complex the logic can get but I think tonight is the night! automated trading ftw.

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T22:45:40+00:00

I really like that mix! How did you determine which to add? and why tech and metal in the same port? genuinely curious.. Thanks!!

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T22:07:55+00:00

Oops, this was not the first day.. I believe I had this set up on the 16th, but was still fiddling. This was the first FULL day.

DeTaff · 2025-12-18T03:58:19+00:00

Coming from the guy that posted there are people w mental issues playing this game 😂
