Trading Algorithms

Back then there were such accounts, now it's cryptocurrency. But not everyone knows about it. This is why pamm accounts are still relevant. I'll say more: Ponzi pyramids are still working!
Ponzi schemes, they just never go out of style, especially in developing countries. And let's not forget about PAMM accounts. A lot of those managers are just running a modern-day pyramid scheme with their Martingale strategies

With the proper approach, this strategy can produce results. But there is not always enough hardness in the balls to close the loss.
 
I agree with this. I’ve used a martingale bot before and the drawdown stacked up very quick. Over long periods of time the bot I was using worked very well but I did not like the massive drawdown to secure returns.
How often did you have to update the bot?

You're absolutely right! Martingale strategies are pretty popular among PAMM managers, especially the top-performing ones. But let's not forget that this is a high-risk game. While these strategies can generate impressive returns, they're highly susceptible to drawdowns. And it's not just the market that poses a threat; if investors start withdrawing funds, it could quickly lead to a margin call.

Yes, of course, investors withdrawing their funds is a significant threat to the account. Probably, the skill of the manager should act as some kind of guarantee in such a situation. But personally, I have lost quite a lot on such accounts.

There’s a simple strategy for any market instrument: follow the positions of big players. For example, in stocks, everyone looks at Buffett’s investments.

On PAMM platforms, check the section showing where investors put their money. Look at the top 100 manual accounts and identify the most frequently mentioned PAMM accounts in their portfolios. I usually pick a selection of five such accounts.

This gives you a solid starting point for investments and insight into the strategies chosen by major investors. Spoiler alert: their approach might surprise you!

After I lost a serious amount of money for me, I decided to make my own decisions instead of looking for managers. Because I realized that they would not help me recover my lost funds. Relying only on myself turned out to be the right decision.

Good call, man. Trading your own system is the way to go. It's a classic approach. I started out reading "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" and that book hammers home the importance of personal experience. But yeah, it can take a while. It took me a solid 10 years to build a strategy that worked.
 
You’re absolutely right—algorithmic trading dominates the markets, especially in equities. Retail traders are increasingly using trading bots and services like MetaTrader, NinjaTrader, or even Python-based custom algos.
 
Many individual traders use algorithmic trading or bots for automation and efficiency, with platforms like 3Commas, Cryptohopper, and Quadency offering tools for various strategies, but they still require careful setup and monitoring to avoid risks.

I disagree , I had good experience with PAMM accounts in the past , you need to understand how the strategy works before allocating any capital

Hi , Where do you search for good PAMM accounts ads if I may ask?
 
How often did you have to update the bot?
Martingale is never a wise option BUT a fixed recovery formula is a better option and this is what I always use and recommend . Having a hard SL for the day is a must otherwise the result is a blown account

If you get how the strategy works, why even allocate capital? Just trade yourself, man.
 
I doubt anyone with a cracking trading algo would share it publicly, only big finance player use that kinda stuff.
 
You're absolutely right—algorithmic trading has become a massive part of the financial markets, especially in equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
 
Algos are dominating no doubt. I’ve dabbled with a couple of bots myself, but I'm still testing what actually works long-term. I'm curious to hear what others are using, too.
 
You're right about algorithmic trading becoming a huge part of the market, especially with institutional traders dominating the space. The shift to algorithmic trading, where algorithms execute trades based on pre-set criteria, has allowed for faster, more efficient trading, and it’s definitely growing in the crypto space as well.

There are many individuals using algorithmic trading and bots—whether for trading crypto, stocks, or forex. If you decide to use one, make sure you thoroughly test and understand the bot’s strategy, and never invest more than you’re willing to lose.
