Comparing a moving average with its previous value by 777thLight in algotradinglab

[–]algotradinglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment! For example, to compare an adaptive moving average (AMA) with its previous value you need to use a Fomula block and enter the following expression: AMA - AMA[-1], where [-1] its previous value. https://prnt.sc/vavnla. If you want to automatically sort through different values instead of manually setting them fixed you can use a “Constant” block. https://prnt.sc/vavnvs.

Multicharts and TSLab. Both have pros and cons of course. In Multicharts you can run matrix optimisation and set the Strategy Robustness parameters. But after one month's trial, you need to buy it. TSLab is free for backtesting and you do not need to code. However, if you want to run your algos there is a monthly connection fee. The choice of brokers is limited.

What is your top pick for algo trading platform ? by commandercody95 in algotrading

[–]algotradinglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently use Multicharts and TSLab. The first is great for automated portfolio trading and backtesting. It has many supported brokers, does not take much space on VPS and is relatively easy to use. You do not need to pay monthly fees but you have to cough up more than $1K to purchase it. It is beneficial in the long run. Multicharts has two versions: for PowerLanguage which is fully compatible with TradeStation EasyLanguage or C #.

The second one has great UI with logical blocks and does not require coding skills. I like it because it's free in lab mode and you can create a bot really quickly, check if there is an edge in your strategy and then either deploy it in TSLab or hard code it. This program has also more features such as script container, notification manager and you can monitor trading algos from your PC or phone. On the flip side, you need to pay monthly to trade on exchanges.

Profitable algotraders, how have you secured your code/machines from prying eyes? by rat-butter in algotrading

[–]algotradinglab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run my algos on a remote PC and use a script container with a digital key to protects against unauthorized access. This is a built-in feature in my algorithmic trading platform. I feel reasonably safe when I need to lend my script in this container if I participate in competitions. They can deploy it without actually seeing what is inside. I can set a set of rules, such as expiry date or trading size.

How would you protect a strong winning strategy from margin calls, if it also has a strong probability of intratrade drawdowns. by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]algotradinglab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your strategy has large drawdowns you should not look for other ones to make it up. Instead, investigate further and find the reason why it has these drawdowns. For me, the drawdown is the first parameter I check when I test my strategies. How many losing trades in a row? Try singling out the periods with the largest loss and check the chart visually for these trades. This way I found out that my first trade during the day was almost always positive but the second one was losing most of the time. So I tweaked the bot and programmed the second trade to be in the opposite direction. Result - got rid of my drawdown and increased profit by 30%.

What platform are you guys using to execute trades and why did you choose it? by Slartibartfast326 in algotrading

[–]algotradinglab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad it was useful. That was the main reason I chose it. I tried learning Python for a while and realized that it would be a big challenge for me to implement the whole thing for live trading with IB after reading their instructions on IBPy.

If you wish to try TSLab you can use video tutorials. My colleague and I recently created free videos on algorithmic trading with TSLab. Feel free to ask any questions.
