DELL yesterday is another example. Big time opening candle breaking upward to ATH, declining volume and fade. DELL has already done this, this summer. HOOD last week had a monster day on news/upgrades, flagged, closed strong, then fizzled. We also have NBIS which quickly ran up to near ATH on monster earnings... Read more

I use MT5/MQL5 for the actual optimization and backtesting, with Python handling the automation pipeline around it. I run the initial optimization manually in MT5, then the Python pipeline reads the exported optimization results, filters the candidates according to predefined criteria, generates the required .set and tester configuration files, runs each surviving setup through multiple out-of-sample / stress-test periods, parses the MT5 reports, rejects setups that fail the thresholds, and...

I’m currently paper trading and trying to build the process correctly before I start worrying about making money with real capital. Rather than simply logging whether I won or lost, I’ve been building a spreadsheet-based trading system that forces me to document the setup, entry, stop, position size, risk, R-multiple, rule adherence, emotional state, and lesson from each trade. My current framework is long-only and uses: 1% maximum account risk per trade 3% maximum daily loss Position sizing... Read more

Any tricks, special chairs or mouse wheel, anything to get my mind off those delicious (but small) profits I can't stand leaving open? I think I got this bad habit learning to trade on long...

How I test Generated ticks first to shake out the logic, then validation on 99 to 100 percent real tick data through Tick... Read more
