Not really bot related but I thought it would be a fun write-up on how (nearly)stress free and easy trading can be with the perfect setup. So today (April 4) around 2pm est the market took a huge dump. Why? Who knows, and to be honest I really dont care since I try trade on small timeframes and...

Thanks I decided about a year ago that I was either going to figure out how to be profitable in trading or die of natural causes, whatever came first lol. It's just one of the mental attributes you have to have in order to make it in trading, hell, just about anything you really want to succeed...

Absolutely. The big diffrence is going to be how well your token adheres or 'respects' the support and resistance zones. NAS100 has a great habit of respecting support and resistance zones, especially on the 5 minute chart and higher. To be fair, the higher the time on the chart the more it...

I'm done botting for now while I figure out and learn about scalping/swing trading MNQ (hopefully move to NQ at some point) on Ninjatrader. I spent the better part of last week looking for strategies that will work with my small account size (starting with $300 USD). On Hanko I was essentially...

Well my bot got broken; again. My new offshore exchange lost access to MT4/MT5, as is happening with lots of these brokers and with forex prop firms (I dont do prop firms, but similar experience with MT4/MT5). So if I want to continue botting it looks like I'm going to have to go with some legit...

Yes, unrelated but also a fair point; it's all about risk management, which is one of the biggest things I'm trying to accomplish with this bot. I am looking into starting a free telegram channel to play around with. It will probably just be the bot posting that it opened a position with the...

Yes. I had a small live account on Hanktotrade before they lost MT4/MT5 access (For US residents). It was the same experience as the demo account, I was interested to see if the spreads would be wildly different, but they weren't. The bot was a lot more hit or miss then this new one seems to be...

I've been working on a test bot for the last hour with a more complicated entry strategy, and then I'll pause every now and then to wonder if these complicated strategies are even worth it. Yesterday (Wednesday 6pm to Thursday 6pm est) was a crap trading day, botting issues aside. This is what...

I've seen those kind of TG groups. I'm in a couple where the main point of the free TG group is to get you to sign up for the premium discord. It's a good idea, but I'd only do if it I have something genuine to offer. Right now its close, just not quite there yet.

I appreciate that. If I nail this done I'll come up with something.

To answer both those last questions, I cant imagine I'd ever sell it for 2 reasons: 1 - the bot is pixel based and can be a trick to maintain 2 - I'm a firm believer in 'if its works why are you selling it?' I'd give the source code away for free if I think it's worth it. It's not doing anything...

I'm going to document the revised trading strategy. This is not set it stone as the bot is still under development and testing, but the basic flow is there account: $1000 demo account pair: NAS100 lot size: 1 (smallest I can go on this exchange for the NAS100, but thats fine) Stop Loss: 7...

My bot got killed a couple months back when Hankotrade lost access to MT5 and went with their own ACT Trader setup. For the last couple of months, I've been manually trading and trying to figure out a way to get the ACT Trade REST API to work with my bot, but hell if I can do it. The...

I paused the bot for a moment to show you how ridiculous and chaotic trading is, and how things can drastically change in a short period of time. I've been doing a lot of changes and testing the last week. Changing/Testing = losses, just so you know, so I've been at a break even for the last...

Tuesday evening into Wednesday AM (stopped the bot and closed all positions just before the 9:30am opening bell) Then manually bot back into all positions around 10:05 and restarted the bot to test a theory on taking profits, stopped the bot and manually closed all positions at 10:17 the results...
