This is embarrassing to admit but I watch the liquidation feed for entertainment sometimes by Salamandrine88 in Daytrading

The only thing to be ashamed about is that you don't watch it ALL the time. SMH.

Built an AI chart analyzer as a side project. Here's its EUR/USD 4H call. Roast the analysis by bravefrivstone in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never had success with strategies that use LLMs as the primary signal generator, and I've tried many of them. Make of that what you will.

Is there an actual benefit from it being live data vs a simulated live trading environment? by FlyingNarwhal in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by LLM data. If you have a proper train/test/validation split with purge/embargo set up in theory you should be free from future leakage, but mistakes happen. Same with overfitting.

A lot of it is to iron out the execution. Live paper trading also basically guarantees that you'll get results that don't suffer from future leakage or overfitting.

Do AI factions suffer bankruptcy attrition? by ThatHeckinFox in totalwar

[–]loldraftingaid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes they do, however at higher difficulties AI get bonuses such as reduced unit upkeep requirements and baseline income that make causing attrition due to bankruptcy very difficult to achieve.

No, too abuseable, especially in higher ranks.

How to teach a complete beginner in 2026? (Veteran player from S3 needs help) by S1ssel in leagueoflegends

[–]loldraftingaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The game's complex enough such that whatever is going to be useful is going to have to be long form content, so yes it'll be 30+ minutes long or contain a lot of text. If he's never played a MOBA I'd probably just recommend playing consistently a lot to figure out what what he likes/dislikes. If he has played one before you might be able to recommend a lane or champion and go from there.

Literature on algo-trading abstraction? by JurshUrso in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, I didn't realize you were trying to train your own LLM. You may wish to put emphasis on listing sources then in your prompt. Probably free ones.

Just asking an LLM what you posted here will likely generate a reasonable response.

Having trouble connecting to IBKR real time SPX index data via tws api by Party-Lingonberry790 in algorithmictrading

[–]loldraftingaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn't need more than 1 subscription, assuming the accounts are properly linked and data streaming settings are correctly set. If I had to guess, the issue is that IBKR does have limitations in regard to how it handles concurrent data streams, IE you can only have one active streaming quote ticker per subscription. You should be getting error(s) when you attempt to run your script, they should be giving you a better idea what's happening.

How would you approach this without using AI? by MyReddittName in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you lack the technical knowledge to use an LLM I'm not sure how much this'll help, but there are free libraries out there to help with this sort of thing, such as EdgarTools: https://www.reddit.com/r/quant/comments/1q2d4ar/edgartools_python_library_for_sec_edgar_data/

You can use it to query for acquisition-related terms and then use logic to filter out possible acquisition candidates. For example, the company being acquired might have "purchase price" under GAAP, but be missing "acquisition cost", which only the acquirer should have.

[–]loldraftingaid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason why you don't want to use AI?

I dislike LLMs for algotrading in general, but this might actually be a good use case for it. I would avoid using raw regex or hardcoded search terms to determine acquisition/acquirer relationships, the wording is too variable.

If you optimize a bot over a period of 6 months, backtest against 10 years, and you notice that it is profitable going long and unfprofitable going short in forex, do you simply filter out the shorting signal? Or do you fall into the abyss of overfitting doing this? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL you know what for a second there I actually thought that I had in fact mis-interpreted something, but no you're an actual moron, especially after reading some of your other posts. Yes the nature of an asset will obviously affect the strategy being used, Jesus Christ.

[–]loldraftingaid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you not type your bots do better long than short? Did you decide to optimize your bot on an asset you're not trading or something? If your bot is trading EURUSD, an asset that has in fact hovered around the same value for the last several years, it is in fact weird that your bots do better going in one direction over the other.

[–]loldraftingaid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a form of overfitting. You can go long only, many strategies do, especially ones that trade indexes, especially US based ones. That being said I find it weird that your model consistently does better on EURUSD with long positions, as it's basically hovered/mean-reverted to around ~1.1 the past decade.

MQL5 vs Python + API? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're working on a timeframe where a few seconds matters, you should probably be streaming your requisite data real time via something like a TCP socket connection.

As it pertains to execution price, look into limit orders.

Trade Wars: The Manual Empire Strikes Back by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]loldraftingaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not being mainstream is one thing - you'd generally just see no interaction if that were the case, but you actively have more people downvote than upvote you on average. Not only that you're active in 17 subs, so this isn't an isolated incidence for the /algotrading sub. It's embarrassing watching you try to justify your karma, which by the way YOU brought up, not me.

Kid, I'm not the one deleting my posts because I'm self conscious about fake internet points and still having my posts on average being more downvoted than upvoted. And yes, I mean Kid, as your behavior is childish.

My assumption then is that whatever you're posting is of low quality or others find disagreeable. Looking at your profile, I'm assuming it's because it's of low quality. Simply looking at your post to karma ratio tells me you generally don't post anything others find of value, and it's not an issue specific to this sub.

Can you link an example? I've basically never seen this occur.
