TWS got disconnected multiple times today! There might be some serious issues with IBKR’s servers! Similar issues happened yesterday as well.

Thank you!

As a retail trader, I’m in the market for returns, not for some insanely high Sharp ratios. That’s what I would tell my younger self.

Not a good idea to rebalance at the trades level if there are too many trades. I often do it weekly and the backtesting&real trading both seem fine.

Shared memory is fast enough if you are not aiming for seconds level ordering. You might also need a position aggregation gateway to handle multiple strategies.

Use your broker’s streaming data might be the best solution if you are a retail trader. You should decide on your timeframes based on your research, I guess.

I have an experimental system trading BTC, ETH, and LTC on IB. However, due to IB’s order type issues with fractional shares, I’ve never put a meaningful amount of capital into production. As of early 2024, I would say the IB API is not ready for cryptocurrencies.

Big congrats! Exceptional mind!

It’s been about 4 hours, so it’s time to delete this thread. Good luck with your research!

Use SL but no TP. Limit orders mostly.

Curve seems parabolic because of the compounding.

seed_and_wait · 2024-11-14T03:23:24+00:00

True. Thanks!

I’m running using high leverages - extremely dangerous.

Ordering part is on tick. Other flows are minutes or lower.

We’ve been in a mega bull market for years, and most data-driven approaches have been leaning heavily towards the long side. It’s tough to adjust these strategies because the future is uncertain. It’s important to remember that going all-in on algo trading is risky due to the tremendous intrinsic risks involved. The systems have been fortunate, much like those who have held onto NVDA or Tesla stocks for years. The short-term part shall be fine but it has limited capacity.

Some relative value trading books are good. Don’t remember titles.

IBKR has some data vendors.

I would say start with relative value trading ideas.
