Q&A

i've been keeping a little csv of my own fills for a couple months, mostly because i wanted features for a model and ended up just staring at the raw rows…

Ran a mean reversion thing on a handful of alt pairs, looked fine in sim, then paper traded it live and the fills kept coming in worse than the model said,…

my night setup's been on small size for about three weeks now and every time something looked off i'd just nudge a param and let it keep going. which is ba…

Read the research piece arguing the open isn't the only tradable window, and I've been chewing on it for a couple of days now because I think it's making a…

read that piece here where they pulled the top gainers list and checked it against the whole market for one session. none of the actual biggest movers were…

so i read the research post here about how much of a recorded session is basically empty minutes (nothing traded, quote never moved) and i've been staring…

read the beginner guide on slippage this morning, the one where they re-price the same set of trades under a bunch of different fill assumptions. i liked i…

read the depth study in research. the one where they walked the recorded ladder to see how much size the quoted price actually holds.

Just finished the setup guide for pulling Binance market data into the app, and I appreciate that it says up front, in bold, that live order routing there…

read the guide on getting a desktop to wake itself, trade the session and shut down. good writeup. did most of it saturday.

i want a condition that compares now to a bit earlier. is there a clean way or am i supposed to store it myself?

hey all, 3am brain here so bear with me

I have a set I've collected elsewhere and I'd like to test against it rather than starting my recording from zero.

I see the option but I don't understand what it changes. Does it replace my entry conditions, filter them, or something else? I'd rather understand it than…

Not planning to let it, but I'd like to know what I'm depending on before I build more on top of it.

And if yes, do they share the account or does each one get its own budget? Asking because I don't want them fighting over the same money without me knowing…

I see both options and I've been picking whichever one I clicked first. When should I use which?

Desktop at home, laptop when I travel. Would I need two licenses, and can both be connected at once?

Slightly unusual request. My problem isn't the software, it's that I keep overriding it. I'd like friction, not features.

Been asked a few times in chat how I set up a test before I let anything run live, so dumping my checklist here since it's the faq board. Not advice, just…

Simple question I should probably know the answer to before I need it.

Same strategy, same day, different results. Not wildly different, but different enough that I don't know which one to believe.

Asked in good faith. I've traded for a long time without automation and I'd like to hear the honest version rather than the marketing one, because I'll fin…

Need to rebuild this machine. Trying to find out what to back up before I do something irreversible.

I want to test without risking anything but I also want the test to mean something. If paper mode connects to a demo account somewhere, the data and the fi…

I want the version that stops trading, not the version that shows me a warning I can click through.

used to scalp. 40+ tickers on screen. hands always moving.

up at 4:15 most days, same as always. posting my routine because i keep wondering if half of it is just superstition at this point.

Planning storage. I'd rather size the drive once than find out in three months.

I'm just getting started and want to learn the backtesting side before connecting any brokerage account.
