Thanks a lot for your comment! I agree the market is more random than not, that's why I strongly believe that most of the trading is trade management after the trade is opened try to guess if the trade should remain opened or maybe closed early (not easy though). I have been following your videos you did an impressive effort, in my case I code for a living but you managed to do this as a hobby! congrats!
Hello, very clear explanation, thanks a lot. I have one question. Is the function 'detect_structure' valid both for uptrends and for downtrends or only for uptrends?
Thank you for your support. For real live trading I would tune my algorithm every 2 weeks using the last 2 or 3 months data to get the best parameters.
I saw your video is pretty helpful but I do have a question on that about the pivot point if we use in the real market - when we detect the LL or HH, it's already few bars after because we have to set up the window in your code, how we catch up the time without delay to deal with market.
you will always have to wait with a small delay to detect and confirm a pivot there is no way around, but if you are using this on a higher time frame let's say hourly and above, delay is ok because usually the movement/trend takes few hours later on and plenty of time to trade in.
Hello , this video is one of the best Algorithmic Trading videos I've ever seen in the internet and it was really helpful. I'm a university student and I'm working in this title, I wanted to know is it possible to have the rest of the code for my project???
Thank you for sharing, was thinking of doing this same strategy! Im new to programming and been watching all of your videos related to trading the last week. If you want to use the EMA its just to implement it in the backtesting that price should be over it. Will be trying to make this for buy and sell and then implement orders and try this code on a demo, first time doing it!🙏
Hi thank you for your support. Regarding the EMA I have included this filtering many times in previous videos, you might want to use some of the previously coded stuff. Good luck!
Great video, great work. In the end it would be nice to see the results of the strategy, see the backtasting of it. Even if it is necessary to adapt some parameters. And do the backtasting with different parameters. But thanks for sharing the ideas and how to implement it. ❤
Thank you for your support, yes I agree it's better to see to full results, I am avoiding backtesting in the same video because it makes these very long for viewers, maybe I will revisit this in a full backtest later on.
Hi, to be honest I am not sure which one used in the code/video, but you can be more selective and stick with the body close so you will have less signals but probably better quality, or you can use the extremas (wicks) and get higher number of signals but maybe with more noise as well, it`s up to the trader.
Great video sir. Could you advice on what to do; I changed all open, high, close and low values in the code you provided to mid_o, mid_h, mid_l, mid_c which are the column names on my dataframe but the whole code returns nothing after I run it. What can I do?
Hi, if you are using this on a different market or different asset you need to modify the numerical parameters as well to fit the values and the volatility of the data you are using.
Thank you for your support, the best way to define lim1 is to check the asset charts and plot a manual example then measure the typical distances including lim1, so in brief I do this manually as a start then I fine tune it in python while testing.
Dravax box has been requested before, I think it's very similar to the break out strategy, in my opinion you can tune the code I published for channel break out for Dravax Box detection.
hello sir thanks for videos, you haven't been posting a video that makes a price prediction with artificial intelligence recently. what is the reason for this? Or did you see that making predictions with artificial intelligence is not good enough? I've been working on this issue for about two months and it still hasn't performed well that meets my expectations. What are your views on this topic?
Hi, thank you for your support. You are right it has been a while I haven't published a ML/AI video, the reason is that they don't work well for this type of problems, the data has too much noise for ML, I tried facebook Prophet time series forecasting recently in a video and still I wasn't impressed.
Thanks lot for the great algo in this platform. I have a query, How can I take the closing price instead of HH and LL. because sometime wicks are too long and confusing.
Hi, thank you for your support! regarding your question just check the pivot detection function where we compute the fractals and instead of high and low values for the pivot tests just use the max(open, close) or the min(open,close), so the maximum among open and close, and minimum among these 2 depending if you are computing the pivot high or pivot low. I hope this helps.
I'm still new to AI trading, so I apologize if this idea is misguided. Have you thought about using transformer based models to generate buy and sell signals? I'm not exactly sure what indicators one would include, but... I have a 4090, so I have enough VRAM to perhaps train a 1-2 billion parameter model, depending on the training technique used.
Hi, thank you for sharing. Actually the idea is interesting I assume just like LLMs are guessing the next word in a sequence maybe the same principle can be applied to trading, but transformers need a lot of data to perform I am not sure in trading this might work, but there is one way to find out.
Can you, find Trend detection without using any price lagging indicators? if so, could you please make a video on price action and multi time frame trading is more important for many viewers
Hi, basically everything is lagging because everything relies on past data or data that we already see. price action is technically in the same class as well, but sometimes for some reason these indicators still work!
@@CodeTradingCafe it seems, price is the real time data which we can rely on mostly, basing on this any indicator will be made, so in my opinion price action is the leading, right? any how thanks for your response to my basic question.
I agree, actually do you have specific price action strategies in mind? I already have some videos on break outs and patterns change of character, you might find this interesting, if you have other price action indicators/approaches in mind please let me know.
The problem I see is that the hh should be detected after a hl or ll, , some examples show that we have consecutive hh or ll , without the ll/hl or lh/hh between
Hi, this was accounted for in the program, it's the order condition added to ensure that highs and lows are detected only in a certain order. I hope it clarifies a bit this point, but if I missed something (which is possible) let me know. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Hi Guy Thank a lot for your sharing. And I looking for another episode such as supertrend strategy and Can you share the idea how to code MT5 live trading.
Thank you for your support! I honestly quit using mql5 I find Python more powerful, but there is a way to link python to mt4/5 hopefully I will get the chance to make a video on this, in the future.
Thanks for the video… learned a lot of things from your videos and applying in my real life… Just a random question: do you run trading bot? Just curious since you’re good at this thought you might be running few bots for yourself
I do run bots in some market conditions, so not all the time nor the same bot its market dependent. That being said don't expect a return more than 2% per month if you count on fully automated strategy, it's very hard to have more than that, and this is in the best case scenario, so ... no it doesn't buy a private jet yet :) (But this is only my experience, maybe somewhere out there there are some algorithmic traders who are making more, and maybe not). I hope this answer helps a bit, I really don't like to advertise false info and trading didn't make me rich, but it did pay some of my holidays.
I am not sure if you are still active on this channel. If the HL has been broken during descending impulse, we can check the Fibonacci levels to see if it is the right entry or not. If the price broke below and already crossed 61.8% Fib level, it can be a wrong trade.
Hi, thank you for sharing, yes I am still following up a bit. Good point I actually have another vid on the Fibonacci entry levels we can combine both videos/codes I guess.
Awesome, thank you for your support! I hope they will be of use for you. Good luck. Actually you don't need to buy all of them if you already know Python, check the content see what is good for you, skip the basics if you already have experience coding.
Hi, good question, actually there is a sample of how to link from Python to Oanda for example: th-cam.com/video/WcfKaZL4vpA/w-d-xo.html The idea is to have a fully automated bot.
Great video but i don't get one thing, when you look for EMA signals you use `range(row-backcandles, row+1)` won't this lead you to observe the candle after the current one? if we use 15 as row (first loop) we have `range(0, 16)` so it will include all the candles with index between 0 and 15 (16 candles but the current is the 15th). no? What am i missing? lol🤣
Hi, no there is no look ahead bias. In python the right or upper limit is excluded so range(a, b+1) actually brings values between a and b included (b+1 excluded). I hope this answer helps.
@@CodeTradingCafe my bad sorry, i noticed some hours after commenting... usually i code in golang, and i'm reproducing this project. I edited your CHOCH pattern1 because it had lowPrice3 > lowPrice2 and higPrice3 < highPrice2(this seems to not respect the picture assuming we looked the same highs and lows). I assumed you used the closing price of every candle. Pythone makes it easier but in golang computing thousends of candles take just few seconds :D
Hi, you will need to install Python and get familiar with the coding environment first. I you haven't done any coding it might be a bit challenging to jump straight into this type of algorithms.
I personally prefer python as I use it in my daily job and there is a wealth of numerical libraries for all kind of algos including machine learning and deep learning, I find Python more powerful.
I was wondering if you could help out with some output. In a BOS pattern I would like to have horizontal lines from each pivot high to the right ( in an uptrend), so we can visualize the break of structure better when a higher high appears. Same for the low, during a downward bos pattern, there should be horizontal lines to the right (untill price touches). I couldnt figure out how to do this, so any help is welcome. I have added the following line to attempt to create the choch line, indicating the actual character change, which seems to work ok. dataframe.loc[start_idx:end_idx, 'structure_change_level'] = detected_price_level
I like this level of detail. So many other channels are shy of showing code.
Thank you for your appreciation and support! I like to share code and I like the fact that some viewers point out some mistakes or propose improvements, community coding is a big school in my opinion.
when the code works as intended but the signal is false, it shows your integrity. keep up the good work!
