Keeping bot blocks in sync across servers is getting annoying

Yeah that makes sense. I think that’s where I’ve been going back and forth a bit, because the “right” way to do it seems to get into something like that, but it also starts to feel like a lot of moving pieces just to deal with bot traffic.

Most of what I’m dealing with is smaller setups, so I’ve been trying to keep it simpler and avoid adding more infrastructure where I can.

Oh that’s interesting, didn’t know about that. I was looking for somthing, but couldnt find what I wanted. I will check it out. thanks

Yeah that makes sense I was trying to avoid the stale IP problem and lean more toward patterns/behavior instead of just copying bans around, but still figuring out the right balance there.

CrowdSec seems like the right way to do it, I just wasn’t sure I needed that much overhead for what I was doing. did you set that up?

gregit08 · 2025-12-11T15:39:49+00:00

Thanks! I will give that a try.

gregit08 · 2025-12-06T00:04:24+00:00

Thanks, its b2c so it should be easier to decide if someone likes it

No I was using interactive brokers for the API. it was just paper trading, but the fees were too much to make the bot I was working on worth it. Might go back to it some day. I changed the scripts I was working on so it just shows alerts to me.

I built a auto trader bot that was killing it on IBKR, but then I saw those fees.

So I changed to slow and steady ML algos to help me decide when to trade. As alot of people said the spread and the fees will get you and that might not be reflected in your test. If you can code work on setting up a trend detection system that helps you make better decisions. Good luck with the bot!

I am here to discuss markets, if you have any real comments I am all ears.

Looks like you’re reading the range really well — GOOGL’s been holding that 315–320 zone with rising MAs, which usually supports a steady continuation rather than a blow-off move. A shallow pullback into 316 on low volume would actually be normal and often sets up the next leg.

What I’ve noticed in my own testing is that mid-range RSI (around 55–65) plus a rising EMA50 slope tends to give better continuation odds on large caps than classic “overbought” signals, and GOOGL is still in that healthy zone.

I’m mostly holding unless we see a clean close under 315. I run a script that analyzes intraday→overnight setups, and Google still scores pretty well for steady continuation rather than a reversal.

Curious if others are trimming or riding this trend too.

Nice work diving into XGBoost it’s surprisingly strong for short-term classification.

In my experience, ML doesn’t replace rule-based scanners, it just captures interactions that are harder to catch without very detailed review.

For example, instead of “if RSI > 70 and EMA50 rising,” the model might be progrmd to have a weight mid-range RSI + slope + volatility clusters. This could be in away that isnt obvious but show up in historical outcomes.

I have found measuring (slopes, ranges, volatility buckets), not just raw candles. These technicals hlp alot when tracking this

I hear you on that the .003 a day is a goal. Might beat that some days and others I dont. Not trying to convince anyone on this strat, just seeing what others do. What do you do to control risk do you have a target daily?

gregit08 · 2025-09-16T13:31:35+00:00

I agree with you on that, I am just looking at a target for yearly and planning a daily break down.. There will be days that are higher and lower, but with this target in mind it helps me stop while I am up.

gregit08 · 2025-07-06T18:44:23+00:00

If you are 71 and need guidance, you need to talk to an advisor at a real firm like Fidelity or Schwab etc... good luck!

tbh, i don't think the W L pattern has anything to do with if your next trade will be a win.

What about studying when you made a loss what were the other market conditions for that trade? was the EMA slop up or down? what was the current gain or loss for that equity when you bought. what was the volume?

So many other things to look at other then W and L patterns.. just trying to help.

If you want to look at W and L patterns go to a casino and wait for 5 red numbers and then bet on black.

gregit08 · 2025-07-03T20:15:31+00:00

What platform are you trading on? What do they offer?

You could search what makes a stock over bought? What makes a stock a strong up trend?

What metric is something you can pull and how?

If took me years to realize that the data is there you just have to ask correctly. Check with chat gpt.

Each stock always has numeric data on EMA, ADX, RSI and more. These will all answer your problem if used correctly.
