Just finish the morning live session.  Peter @peterSt You are quite right and I apologise for the remark, it was aimed at PaoloB and not Mattias.  You are also correct in that I aim to educate and help and do this live every day, I also do the live analysis and trades as well as bot development and execution.  It’s all recorded every day…my aim is to help and educate!

As an offer in the channel, I am happy to grant the thread guys a weeks access to the live trading I do over zoom.  I don’t just talk about this I do it live in front of an audience every day and it’s all recorded, so no hiding behind texts etc.  We walk the wall every day!

In my room, we aim to make 1% to 3% a day every day…..and do it live tool

Already made the 1% and are now short (From 7,221) on the FTSE, Long on the NAS and S&P……BOTS are also active and can be seen trading live

Thanks for your constructive comments Peter and for putting me right on my comments.

Have a great weekend guys

I rather suspect whatever I post will be claimed as fake also! – as you well know it’s easy to fake “real results” so I won’t spend my time downloading multiple bot data for potential unhelpful comments –  so this thread has probably run its course

@PeterST  was correct in the use of the bots and learning that can be gained

I run many BOTs concurrently and also switch them on and off as tools as markets conditions change and unforeseen volatility is seen. The BOTs mainly are for my traders who use them on a regular basis.  Not really chasing any sales for such a small amount.  Sounds like you have been burnt seeking the gold trade or BOT

Auto traders I see as a tool as they never beat good manual trading, they never can in the waking hours because they do not have the ability to respond the news, live events, even the cycle of seasons (this can be coded based on past seasonal trading loosely).  However, for instance, you would never run a long BOT in the US market in September and all of October as they will perform poorly – BUT you can trade the markets successfully (I abbreviate for brevity).  This changes slightly each year.  This year the US500 and DOW have pulled out the retrace early this year (BOTH providing new ATH) for instance so auto longs were OK this week whilst the NAS is lagging but will get there.

Markets do have seasons and months where you can do very well, so a BOT can and should be moulded to manage this to optimise returns.  Anyone who tells you differently is probably and coder and not a trader.  See for yourself, lull up a weekly chart and back text what I am stating and then tell me I am wrong!

Too many people are self-proclaimed experts….. Look at the charts and check you may change your mind on your opening line

In short, an auto BOT has little chance of beating a successful trader in waking hours – so I agree with your point.  Also, BOTs are fun 👍🏻😁

I think that “unchanged” is the bottleneck here…

There are a lot of strategies live but with regular “updates” (so not unchanged).

My own strategy on the DAX is live (and unchanged) from only 15 sept 2021.

(The parameters used in this strategy are from a backtest over the last 13 years and it performed well with these  (unchanged) parameters.)

JS, yes you can clearly see the issues over time and the reasons why BOTs need to be tuned to provide the best results.  backtesting over a long period only serves to show good entries, and varying performance as nothing has been tuned to market conditions.

Thanks for posting
