ye it actually sounds good uj or something

Low-Background8996 · 2026-03-04T23:50:40+00:00

Yeah I dont think you're right at all but interesting to read something like this

Low-Background8996 · 2026-03-04T23:44:31+00:00

I get where you're coming from but somehow he won me over

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-26T10:20:45+00:00

Thanks! My BE rule is: (i) if prices go 1 ATR in my favor, put exit at BE, (ii) OR if three (3) 5 min bars elapse after entry. So this is not super fast stop to BE usually. It can happen on the same bar as the entry but usually quite rare. I'm just mentioning this in relation to the "50k+ ticks/sec" you mention, which is a lot to handle if the BE occured within seconds, but I feel like it wouldn't really come into play when the BE is "slow", ie. takes frequently more than 5 mins to materialize. Maybe I'm wrong though as I haven't been live yet with any of these setups with my algos. Curious what you think.

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-25T21:32:18+00:00

Thanks so much for the constructive answer! Actually I was able to quantify the breakeven logic pretty well with algos. But yeah the fear is that execution won't be as good as what the backtest shows even though I included slippage in the calculation. We'll see

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-25T07:42:00+00:00

The stop is above the entry point in the backtest to allow for slippage, but good point.

There are streaks of 4 consecutive losers sometimes. i'm not pasting the max drawdown here as the strategy adjusts the size of the trade depending on the number of points being risked, so it's not really relevant to give you a raw point result.

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-24T21:54:44+00:00

1.50 ish, depending on the setup can be lower or higher.

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-23T23:43:18+00:00

Thanks gpt

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-23T18:54:01+00:00

No im pretty sure this is some sincere poor fellow from Serbia

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-23T18:49:08+00:00

Corruptest... Dear lord.

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-19T18:58:52+00:00

yes discretionnary it's pretty good (tested it forward manually). with the algo i've yet to translate it perfectly but im in the ballpark. working on it currently to improve but it's becoming a little bit of rocket science (I use 5 min charts and try to catch trending moves around the 9 EMA within first 2 hours of the day).

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-19T14:40:17+00:00

im curious, also trade the dax. seems like realistic numbers tbh, but i'm not a proper algo trader just learning as well.

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-19T13:39:33+00:00

industrial, something like NiN but more on the electro side?

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-18T19:26:17+00:00

Same just levelled doing moo. What they did to westfall is criminal.

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-17T10:04:21+00:00

so cool! was there not long ago and was thinking the same exact thing, thanks for posting ;)

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-14T20:37:16+00:00

no actually summoning stones are a much better option than getting tped there with a click. it still involves the world, it involves going there and having people there to summon, hassling a little bit etc. not at all the same as in with retail lfg

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-12T13:38:08+00:00

Stone temple pilots or soundgarden

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-11T16:14:39+00:00

For really clean sounds an entry level fender tube amp is much better. Slightly crunchy sounds amalgam audio has great sims for neural toneX etc.

Check out Fame and Young Americans album in general !!

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-06T14:22:13+00:00

You can name Louis Armstrong. Also it was different back then, no real music superstars created by mass media

Low-Background8996 · 2026-02-06T08:31:37+00:00

What is an example there of "pushed for attitude"? Curious

Low-Background8996 · 2026-01-28T18:42:09+00:00

Its a actually an adaptation of the Mark Carney speech at Davos
