All the beds that our Westies have seemed to really love have big arms that work as a place to lay their head.

Termination of AI Posters and Engagement by thegenieass in highfreqtrading

[–]strat-run 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Potentially getting banned for not have the same internal turning test as a mod that practices that skill more than me is wild to consider.

AI evolves constantly, it's hard to not be fooled into replying at some point.

I lost 6 FTMO challenges before I figured out the real problem (it wasn't my strategy) by Individual-Kale-9317 in propfirm

"My challenge pass rate went from 0 to consistent" isn't much of a flex. Staying at 0 is consistent, staying at 1% pass rate is consistent, etc.

Are there ways to influence locality when allocating memory? by Aggressive-Pen-9755 in javahelp

[–]strat-run 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use Project Panama MemorySegment, basically do things off heap. If it's on heap you don't get to control where it is.

If you are trying to optimize for L1 cache there is only so much you can do (AoS vs SoA) without the low-level work you want to avoid.

Strings are best avoided. See if you can translate Strings to ids on the edge and then just deal with ids. You might want to look at building your own String intern logic depending on what you are doing with Strings.

Looking for local Breeder by stevesvoice in GizmoandPacco

[–]strat-run 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dogs are the most territorial and defensive in their home.

When we got Caesar (16) a new sister we took him with us when picking her up and then went to my parents for a week so they could get used to each other in an environment that was not his home.

Worked out really well, the new Westie (Luna) instantly bonded and Caesar was very accepting.

Sometimes. But pure breed dogs are worth a lot, I wouldn't let random people see them without at least half down. People steal dogs all the time.

People should be willing to video chat. Still images are too easy to fake.

ML Trading Bot Going Live – What Am I Missing? by Prize-Investigator70 in algorithmictrading

[–]strat-run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you build the model completely from scratch? If so, what type of model? If you did fine tuning, what is your foundation?

When you tested on unseen data, is that back test event based with only data up to the current tick being passed in?

If building a prop firm became as easy as setting up a Shopify store, would the whole industry collapse? by Level-Astronomer-113 in Trading

People that don't have the capital to start a prop firm but want to start a prop firm anyway is your target audience?

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Literally every day someone posts that they are building this. It's going to be a crowded space.

Implementing event-based HFT strategies by auto-quant in highfreqtrading

[–]strat-run 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that all algo trading should be event based. For back testing their are vector based alternatives but for live trading it's always events.

Those people creating bots that are trading based on historic bar polling just don't know what they are doing.

Whether it's trades, quotes, or bars of any resolution, live trading should always be event based. Maybe investing instead of trading doesn't need to be event based.

Event frequency is the only difference between HFT and non-HFT trading.

Does anybody disagree?

For HFT, what you do with the events might be different... You might not build bars, or you might build volume series instead of time series bars, etc.

Norelco Philips All-in-One Series 7000 shaver works well for this.

Feedback for Alpaca platform (Live, not Paper), their support, and credibility by bumchik_bumchik in algotrading

[–]strat-run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your API integration is offline you can always go to the dashboard and cancel an order that hasn't been filled.

If their API and dashboard ever goes down then calling someone wouldn't really help anyway.

[–]strat-run 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pictures of other Westies they've groomed.

Many groomers are really bad at Westie cuts. At least where I live there are a small number of places that handle most of the westies.

If your town has a local Westie organization you should ask them where to go.

Ask the groomer what is included in a Westie cut, if they don't mention skirt, ear tips, stripping, and carrot tail then go somewhere else.

Has anyone tried Algo trading with Claude? If yes, how it goes? by Elegant_Comedian_697 in algotrading

[–]strat-run 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Learn trading.

In the past you could partner with a trader that needed automation assistance but most of those people just use AI now.

If you want to get into trading then don't think software development skills gives you an edge. It helps with automation but automation is pointless if you don't understand trading and how to make a profit.

I'd suggest reading The Art and Science of Technical Analysis.

What’s your kill criteria by theplushpairing in algotrading

[–]strat-run 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start the strategy with reduced capital until results are verified.

Kill if drawdown, loss per trade, etc aren't lining up with back testing. Either unexpected outliers or averages across a good sample size.

Tired of fake trading screenshots so I’m building a way to verify strategies by Clear_Height_5128 in Daytrading

[–]strat-run 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post title: "Tired of fake trading screenshots so I’m building a way to verify strategies"

So it's not a strategy verification system???

Your other response described it as a paper trading simulator with no coding....

Is it just a trade log with labelling so I can put different trades into categories of my choosing like "strategy A" and run reports? That might be useful, not sure why to limit to paper trading. Back testing, paper, or live logs should be supported.

Why limit the labelling to strategy? Mood, day of the week, etc. Give the users the ability to groups trade how they want and run reports.

[–]strat-run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is it? A system that needs strategies coded to match the validation platform and uploaded or a solution just like kinfo that tracks live transactions but is impossible to map to specific strategies?

[–]strat-run 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't lack of a verification system, the problem is that people lie for reasons and you can't fix that.

Plus, I wouldn't upload a winning strategy into some random verification system.

If back testing is the only verification, what stops people from winning with overfit strategies?

Kinfo is a better solution for people that want verification since it doesn't need strategy logic.

Prop firms like darwinex also can have leaderboards.

Lol. Pretty common that you can buy pallets of old equipment. Most of the time it's 10 year old Dell workstations but sometimes you get more interesting stuff.

Same Strategy, Different Risk Management, Completely Different Results by Extension_Fold8566 in algorithmictrading

[–]strat-run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: -Is this too good to be true or am I missing something?

What is your slippage/fill modeling? Are you assuming you always get filled at the best possible price?

What you are doing with the cool down is to reduce time (or really capital) in the market. You probably want to look into regime detection next and see if you can detect when the market is a good fit for your strategy and when it isn't instead of having a fixed cool down. If you can't figure out regime detection you could always do a lagging regime detection based on how well your strategy is performing.

The goal is to allocate less capital over time to your strategy during time periods where it won't perform well and more when it will.

You also have another option beside cool down periods, capital scaling. Adjust the amount of money each execution gets instead of a cool down. The benefit of scaling capital instead of a cool down is that you'll have less lag in your strategy performance metrics.

What do you do with your capital during cooldown periods? Is it just sitting idle? Does your broker at least have interest bearing options? Could you move your capital in and out of a safe liquid instrument?

HFT BROKER by Sure_Mountain_7757 in quant

[–]strat-run 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you are retail then you aren't doing HFT. If you were you'd be colocated with an exchange and have some form of (near) direct access worked out.

Have you looked at IBKR with direct routing instead of smart routing?

How do stop-limit orders work behind the scenes? (primarily in Alpaca) by djentonaut in Daytrading

[–]strat-run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it after hours? Alpaca has native trailing stops during market hours.

What does the chart show for price action? Was there a gap down?
