    what happens when you create something brilliant

    Thanks for the praise but I think a quick reality check may be in order: we don’t know yet if it’s brilliant or not. Based on the data we’ve got, it looks like it could have potential — and that’s about it. 32 months is still a very short back test. PRT v11 will hopefully be available later this year and then we’ll see what it looks like with a proper 10 year back test. Could be a bust.

    Some of the best trading advice I ever received (and often v hard to follow) is, always look out for reasons why a trade might fail. It’s all too easy to talk yourself into a false optimism — and I am the world’s worst offender!

    If you look at the equity curve for example, there is a very flat bit from April to Oct of 2018. It does virtually nothing for 6 months. That’s a long time to wait, not knowing if it’s ever going to fly. That could happen again in 2020, in which case we’ll all be disappointed.

    Of course I hope that it makes us all stupidly rich. But as they say, don’t count your yachts until they’re on the water.

    (I think that’s what they say, don’t they? something like that?)

    Hi nonetheless
    And in the code there is a lot of important things missing so that the algorithm is not rejected.

    things missing so that the algorithm is not rejected

    Oh no — help! Like what, par exemple?

    #123693

    Opening and closing times of the market.
    Holidays.
    To check: if there is too much volatility do not take a trade.

    C’est pourtant bien là que j’ai écrit !

    Look at your post higher

    Opening and closing times of the market. Holidays. To check: if there is too much volatility do not take a trade.

    Does time have to be specified even if I want it to run 24hrs/day? I have tried it using “Ctime = time >= t1 and time <= t2” but there was no time range that improved performance.

    My assumption is if it’s a holiday then the market is closed, therefore no trades. No?

    I would have no idea how to code for volatility. May be something in the snippet library, I’ll have a look.

    For example :
    If it is Friday and it is more than 11 PM and algo want to make a change.
    Algo is rejected.
    Same for Monday

    #123704

    Volatility is good unless you are going the wrong way! 🙂

    Out of interest, you could try a drop / rise exit … so if you are going the wrong way ‘> x bars’ and / or ‘> x bars AND > x drop / rise’ (the wrong way).

    If it is Friday and it is more than 11 PM and algo want to make a change.

    Okay, I double checked and results are almost identical with Ctime = time >= 0 and time <= 230000

    That solves the Friday problem, no? Can’t open a trade after 11pm.

    But why Monday? If market is open from 11pm Sunday.

    You gotta explain this to me like I’m 4 years old. What would the code look like? How is that different from yer basic stoploss?

    And are the indices open on Sunday?
