Hello, my name is Wes. I like gambling system and the stock market pays off much better than the casino. The smart thing to do would be to put my money in the big companies and let it sit there, but that is boring. Finding that one system that works when everyone else is losing is like having a cheat code. That is way more fun than the boring path in my opinion. Anyway, I made one post in the trade journals if you want to see if my system royally bomb out or not lol. Glad I found this site, a lot of cool stuff.
Welcome to the forum and good luck with your trading. Have you written the rules for your algorithm on paper to avoid any temptation to bend the rules and do you have any way to backtest and walk forward test for your system?
Yeah I wrote a program in python to tell me what stocks to buy along with the sell price. Part of picking the stock is that it has to pass the back test. It finds the condition in the past, then looks forward to see if the condition works. Then out of the stocks that pass, it looks for the condition in the current time frame.
