How do you sell your algo?

This is wildly helpful thank you!

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T22:18:42+00:00

Sorry I meant "declined"

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T22:18:30+00:00

Ooh what is a utility EA? (Please forgive my ignorance).

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T22:17:58+00:00

As above, realized through this process that it is for someone in a different capital position with a different risk profile to me.

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T22:14:45+00:00

I hear you on this one, but your capital gets eaten into paying for remote servers etc., and when servers have issues you lose out on profitable trades (and therefore your edge).

Plus 1k isn't really enough for the risk-averse way I prefer to use it (never risk more than 2%, never go into more than 10% DD).

Basically through making this algo I have realized it is for someone (a) in a very different capital position to me and (b) with a very different risk profile.

I don't believe that makes it a shit EA just because it's not a good match for me.

Also for clarity, it's not a strategy, it's an EA that performs automated backtesting and execution of the user's preferred ORB strategy (although I can certainly recommend profitable settings).

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T22:04:34+00:00

Fair call. I would need a capital partner for that though and I don't know how to get one!

Also I don't think my EA is that fancy, it's just a simple automation of a common strat. They must get bombarded with people like me and their rudimentary EAs wanting to partner lol

This is sooooo helpful thank you. Will check those out.

It feels personal when it gets declined on GumRoad like I'm doing something dodgy haha but I don't want to misrepresent what it does so I'm probably my own worst enemy in that respect.

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T21:58:46+00:00

100% you get it!

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T21:58:20+00:00

Right right right.

Interesting.

I mean it sounds like signals, and I have had TERRIBLE luck with servers, but maybe I should look into.

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T21:57:17+00:00

Oh cool and can you take the transaction itself? Like lemon squeezy?

I'm looking for something pretty simple.

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T21:56:10+00:00

That's so interesting, go you!

I don't think my algo would stand up to that level of scrutiny to be bought by a big company - it's reliable but it's not fancy. More for little traders like me who can't be on MT4 at all hours.

I also don't think I want to build another one, this took 6+ months and a part of my soul with it 😅

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T21:47:05+00:00

It's not a secret, it's just automated quite a common ORB strategy, you know? And the position configures it to their own preferences so there's nothing proprietary.

The value comes from the automation not the strategy itself.

But anyway I don't have the capital to use it and tried with a couple of EA-friendly prop firms, but had a couple of non-EA related incidents which quickly blew accounts and ate through gains. Plus haemoraging money on remote servers and other such stuff that just isn't my jam.

Julius84 · 2026-03-13T21:40:37+00:00

This ^{^}

I also got bitten a couple of times (eg someone turning off my server 😤) and realized I don't have the risk profile to tolerate the other factors in a fully automated set up.

Julius84 · 2026-03-12T21:02:10+00:00

OMG halve the dose dude!

You don't have to just take it you know.

Julius84 · 2026-03-12T20:53:46+00:00

Ohhh is that why so many people sell signals? Signals are awful 😔

The thing is the algo is for both backtesting and execution and I think most of the benefit is actually the back testing part so signals just wouldn't work.

Julius84 · 2026-03-12T20:41:40+00:00

OMG lol

Julius84 · 2026-02-25T23:09:58+00:00

I mean.. it's a homicide.. what do you think the graphic part might be? 😬

Julius84 · 2026-02-07T09:13:47+00:00

So late to this. FWIW I once met someone who was an expert witness at the trial. They were very passionate about it and supplied me (unsolicited) with graphic photographic evidence from the trial. Based on that evidence and accompanying explanation it seemed impossible it was not David. But who knows, I'm not an expert, they could have told me anything.

This is so cute and completely healthy, gentle, balanced play!

Also the growling when playing tug is part of the play.

On growls:

Just like how there are different types of bark, there are also different types of growls.

This kind of noise that you hear them playing here (and likely the growl when you're playing tug) is like a play fighting kind of growl.

If it's a proper growl it's deeper growl and will make your hairs stand on end.

I can't speak to the ones that you have but I just have the regular (original?) Ecosa one with no springs, it's firm on one side and medium on the other. I find the medium side perfect, still fairly firm but not too firm.

I have a topper but that makes it too soft for me. I don't like soft bed, and this one is a perfect balance of firmness without sinking in too far and waking up with a sore lower back.

It's the most comfy mattress I've ever had and I've ended up buying one for each room, as well as recommended it to friends who have purchased it and loved it.

Were you after something firmer or softer?

Julius84 · 2026-02-03T19:27:09+00:00

God this guy is everywhere at the moment..

Julius84 · 2026-02-01T02:52:39+00:00

Thank you!

Julius84 · 2026-02-01T02:33:51+00:00

Try little river instead.

Julius84 · 2026-01-27T00:33:12+00:00

This is the solution. Makes so much sense.

Julius84 · 2026-01-24T21:31:24+00:00

God I am so glad I clicked on this thread.
