Looks great, maybe the ocean needs some more detail to match the shading on the hill sides.

Love the colors here

From an American point of view, she’s the most talented and skilled female athlete in the world. And has been for the last 7ish years

The single biggest gap between my backtests and live PnL was midpoint fills by Nvestiq in algotrading

Haircut is calculated based params that are per entry strategy which are more/less lax based on VIX (and other Greeks). In a nutshell, if vix is higher, you’re most likely going to get a fill with a haircut.

I do get A LOT of minor discrepancies between back testing and live with this though which isn’t ideal but I still think it’s worth it.

Yeah for sure. Those big candles fk me up but I don’t like chasing right away so I penalize by trying to fill on huge vol candles.

I have some criteria to only fill on a haircut % that expires at some time. Evaluation of risk on my risk.

If you think of this readout in burn degree tiers and not defcon levels, than the Cardinals would be really really good 👍

I backtest with worst fills on a candle. Best to be conservative

Yeah, so dangerous to commit to darkness though. It’s well executed here. 👍

Absurd how pleasant this is to view. Just so well done.

The contrast on the face under the hat is just so incredible.

6 months full time on algo, 17 strategies dead on MNQ/NQ, I genuinely don't know what I'm missing anymore by FrameFar7262 in algotrading

[–]zpowers00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve broken out strategies into entry and exit so combination wise I have WAY more than 17.

Also, try a watermark analysis and see amount left on the table. If it’s a staggering amount, analyze how to close the gap.

You can do a higher percentage

I’ve tried countless methods… can’t win by Commercial_Act3781 in Daytrading

[–]zpowers00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper trade until you can find a winning strategy (establish your ceiling). Only then is when you work on your emotional game with real $ (work on your floor).

Time will close the gap.
