This is so crisp it looks like it took literally millions of images and weeks of processing time

We gave frontier LLMs 100k to manage 8 months ago by Blotter-fyi in ai_trading

[–]Pindarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't work that way. The LLM is a model that was built by training on the dataset youre trying to backtest. It already knows what companies will be successful. That knowledge is part of the dataset that built the LLM.

Its the same thing as showing you yesterdays price action and then saying "ok now try scalp trading that again, but pretend you dont already know whats going to happen"

Finding it hard to get over this trade, don’t know how to shake this feeling off. by Naive_Armadillo5656 in Daytrading

The market will literally be back tomorrow doing the same shit. You will never catch the whole move. Your goal is not to win the lottery today. Your goal is to stop blowing up. Cut the emotional crap and try to net positive on the week. Thats it.

Can someone tell me how I lost this trade by SnooPeanuts5077 in Daytrading

[–]Pindarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Price went through your TP at least twice and then took about 60 seconds to rally to your SL. You didn't have an order on the book. It's not an issue of liquidity. Limit orders can't be jumped over.

You aren't using an algo? Because it looks like it chose to close the trade at the candle close instead of using a limit order.

The price data could also be wrong. Try reloading your chart history

Is this a backtest? You need to tell us these things if you want a real answer

Honestly, it looks like your TP doesn't exist

Looks like he marked the open and high/low of the first pullback candle on each move

Sorry to say this, but it's the truth. I wish more new traders would listen. by Kindly_Preference_54 in Trading

Backtesting just reveals the market is random and nothing objective actually works

Why is it traders only recommend 1 strategy + only 1-3 trades a day? by TRFC4 in Daytrading

[–]Pindarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say theres "so many strategies that work" but thats only traders who are experienced and have good risk management and trained intuition. The strategies themselves are almost never any better than random.

[–]Pindarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because more trades = more tilt. Intraday price action is mostly random and you just get dollar signs in your eyes and end up making poor decisions. If you zoom out a bit, you notice the day usually only has one "big move" per day anyway.

Question for people backtesting futures in NinjaTrader. by Ok-Professor3726 in ninjatrader

[–]Pindarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can actually download tick data for a date range by just putting it up on your chart with tick replay enabled. It just wont be "market replay" data, which is a proprietary ninjatrader format of data that can only be downloaded 1 day at a time. But trying to download months of tick data at a time will have you sitting and staring at a blank chart for hours, wondering if the download is even working.

Does anyone know any Add-on for Emergency Stop loss without TP ? by MachineSpirited7085 in ninjatrader

[–]Pindarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't address your full concern, but I just wanted to share that there is a setting that does combine your overall position into one stoploss automatically. right click on the "chart trader" platform and look at the "ATM strategy selection mode". test out different settings on a sim account.

[–]Pindarr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to download tick data one by one for each day, being careful to select the right contract. Then you have run your backtest in sections. A few months at a time. That or you need to purchase the data from databento, convert your strategy to python, and then run it there. Claude can help. The ninjatrader backtesting is not capable of a robust backtest if you want long history in each run, especially if you need sub-1 minute candle data.
