I love this video!!!!! This is the first time I've come across a video where someone is open and transparent about their methodology and results. If there were a super like button I would use it! I really hope we see more videos like this on TH-cam.
Please keep going. I would LOVE to see a longer term analysis. I wrote my own algos for stocks last year and found it to be anything but "earn money while you sleep" because of the "tweaking". But I am curious to see how other algos work so please keep this experiment going.
Finally an honest trader. Well done. Do not invest in online bots. You will be fooled eventually. Don't forget that 90% of traders lose money. Bots that have an edge are not available to retail traders.
I like that you post even when the experiment didn’t go as planned. Great video! I wouldn’t mind seeing this again but if it’s gonna cost you too much than it’s not worth it.
@@DanielInskeep I love watching your videos because I know will be transparent I also follow Trades by matt because he uploads everything losses and wins not like those fake gurus who just post wins all the time
YES! give it another shot! I think that full auto algo trading is a bit optimistic, but getting to know one instrument (when I tried it I stick to MES) and doing a quick market assessment before running the also could turn into a low effort/low stress trading system! not-full auto, but for the low effort I think it'd be worth it :) Good luck and looking forward to the next video!
Excited to say he has stayed for another month. So I am excited to see his progress in my Algo. My main focus is NQ/MNQ as ES is a bit tough with Algos (at least in my experience). ES has the liquidity but its pretty tight unless we get a true trending day.
@@steelko665 well yeah.. I hope so too.. but it happens. He shouldn't have traded RTY when he only had 1,500 left and we talked about it. To trade any mini contracts you need AT LEAST 7-10k in your account. The risk is just too big otherwise.
Full algo trading works. You need a zoo of working algos, though. Thoroughly backtested. Knowing when they work, and when they don't. All profitable. And then employ them altogether. Monitor them. Execute them. Quality check them. They all stop to work sooner or later. And therefore you need to constantly do research for new ones. So basically having a working process to have ideas, thoroughly analyze and challenge them. Discard the bad ones. Optimize the good ones. Then deploy them and milk them while they work. A lot of work. No get rich quick scheme. And needs a sharp mind, a humble approach, and on top of that a decent work ethic.
@@Flinsenberger101 This is the best comment I have seen about Algo trading in forever.. I try to tell folks all the time.. but its hard for people to grasp at first.
It is great to see someone showing their experience with methods and Algos that they are testing live. So many channels test and optomise trading strategies but they only ever back test them, even if they use a papermoney account you never see them prospectively test these strategies. So while I would hate to see you loose money, as you are one of the few people who actually show their live trading, yes please do continue to test the algo. It is interesting to hear what you make of it. It has always bugged me too how something can be profitable for one person, or for one period of time, but then exactly the same thing looses money for someone else doing what should be exactly the same thing. I would like to see better and more detailed analysis of what exactly is being done in the profitable situations, compared to when what should have been the same methodology resulted in losses.
Thank you for your test drive and expense to do so. I had just started watching her videos and was seriously interested in the idea of "40%+ per month letting it do all the work" type of system which sounded awesome while also seeming too good to be true.
i would love to see the other trend based algo working on a live account if you are down for it. I have hand coded a few futures trading bots myself in python and know the frustration of changing and evolving markets so id be very curious to see how it ends up doing?
Great video and as always, I appreciate your transparency. I think the biggest thing I've learned from your videos and from my own 4 month futures trading experiment is that futures are tricky, can make you money and can definitely lose you money just as easily. I'm sure we would all love to see you do another month. Maybe you can get a few paper accounts going alongside the real money account to get several different outcomes. Either way thanks for continuing to make good content.
Yes. NinjaTrader allows you to have several simulation accounts while alongside of your personal account. He could run minis and see how the folks that are making $500 to 3k a day are doing it.. they all have accounts over 7k and trade 1 mini or more per trade. I typically tell folks to not trade minis unless they have AT LEAST 10k in their account as futures can be unforgiving.
I appreciate that you shared this. This is the first time I’ve seen a Trading Bot in action. As for testing it out for another month, personally I am indifferent to that. It would be cool of course and I would watch it. I’d just hope it would be more successful for you next time. What I would find more interesting though, is if you made your own Trading Bot and tested it out even with just paper trading. Not sure if you’d want to commit the time to doing that, but to see something in action where you can explain the logic you implemented would be cool. Even if it were a video series showing the development from learning to having a functioning trading bot. Just a thought.
I have several videos showing my Algo in action. You can watch those.. Also just from experience I have been doing this for over two years and the knowledge you learn and dedication and time that it takes to continually update strategies and settings is never ending.
At 4:23 the strategy analyzer says its Sharpe ratio is 0.72. That means it's taking a lot of risk. A Sharpe ratio above 2 considered good, anything over 3 is excellent. Anything under 1 is not worth running.
I truly love Daniel's channel because of his honesty. The only people making money with these kind of promising bots, algorithms, strategies etc. are the ones we are paying to. If you want to make money, you have to create value for others. By buying something, you will not make money the next day, period.
Okay Tony. Yet, did you see Daniel overleverage himself? He didn't say anything negative.. and this was 8 months ago. We are stil 87% on the year and I have 185 very happy members.. too bad you aren't one of them.
With what I’ve learned over two decades in the stock market, given enough time, solid investments have the potential to double the initial principal amount, but many investors are instead attracted to the lure of high yields in short periods of time despite the possibility of unattractive losses before even getting out. So the onus is on newbies to beware.
its like you read my mind. I was just thinking about these kind of algo trading strategies but didn't even know jack about them. then you make this video. great videos tho. keep it up. love the transparency
Honestly loved watching you in mango street because of your humble approach to photography, which is so refreshing. Good to see you in the finance world!
I appreciate the effort and expense you put into making this video along with the candor with which you presented it. Excuse me now while I go hit that subscribe button.
I completely agree about this open source algo stuff. My investor wrote and uses his own algo that he uses for trading and I know that he has never open sourced his algo.
An algorithm can make any decision you do. You just have to tell the computer what decisions to make and when. The success of the algorithm depends on the success of the trader programming it.
This video has shown exactly what I've been thinking of doing for the last few months. Thank you for doing this, and I would like to see another month of this to see, like you said, once you get up the learning curve it starts to be more successful.
I don't think so. Then stuff happens like in the video, that you can't buy or sell for some "technical issue" and you will lose all your profit, while Ninja Trading and Lauren are still the big winner. This is how scammer are working. Same like system lotteries. The winner numbers are bought by the system lotteries itself. The others which are not so predicted to be successful are sold to customers.
"Why would anyone sell a trading algorithm when they just can scale it up themselves": Many reasons a) Affiliate commissions. Trading Bot providers recommend you to use their house broker, which typically pays ongoing commissions on the trades the retail traders make b) Revenue from sales. Trading bots sell from under $100 to up to $1000 per license c) The more people that use your strategy, the more likely it will work. Granted, the FX Market is huge so the impact is neglectable. But still, as you often operate within market makers, it could have an impact. So it definitely makes sense to sell Trading algorithms.
one more month for sure! With NT, I think the margin required to take the trade also considers your auto stop loss level so perhaps you had enough margin for the initial trade, as mentioned, but if the trade turned on you, you wouldn't have had enough margin to cover the loss of where your stop loss was placed?? just a thought. Great video as always ✌
I love you're content aswell as your editing, audio design and cinematography. Best quality I've seen in years. Also you might aswell give it another go ha.
I've been following your channel for a minute, great stuff, I like soaking up all the knowledge I can, as I'm saving up money to start my little trading career. You seem to be one of the few that tells it exactly how it is. That bein said, if your up for another month so am I lol
You're the real anti-guru. Part 2 please. I had a similar experience while trading in Forex. Back-testing and simulation accounts always show a positive result and somehow while trading on the real account, sh*t gets real.
Thank you so much Daniel for the eye opener and bringing out the reality in the space . It gives any newcomer a greater awareness of algo trading is not fully auto but manual intervention is needed no matter the best strategies. With kind regards, RKD
Algo trading is something I just started looking into so this video has perfect timing for me. Please retry the experiment with weekly backtest comparisons prior to taking a strategy for the day/week and sticking to micros only. Maybe on a 10k paper account to minimize real world losses. Thank you and subscribed.
Back and forward test everything without curve fitting and incubate your algo on demo without manual intervention for several months before committing your hard earned cash . Being there, done that and this is the only way to learn how to trade and to get more experience and minimize losses, good luck and thank you for being transparent .
Bro it’s crazy. I got super into trading around the same time I found your channel and I’ve been on the grind on a small options account learning everything just about the same time as you post all your vids. Really cool how far your knowledge of the market has gone🙌🏽
A few years ago I personally tested over 1000 algos on an MT4 back tester and without fail they ALL lost. Maybe the algos have improved. I even got some written for me and they lost too. One called Gallileo looks interesting but I haven't tested it. Maybe someone else has ??
As an algo trader, I do sell mine strictly to build my bag up to allow my capital investment to compound as it continues it success. The mentality is simple - more passive streams of income is great.
Yes I think you need to give this developer a fair shot it sounds like she has a pretty good success rate jumping in and out of micros and minis and various contracts though maybe not the best idea just stick to one and test it for three weeks look forward to seeing the follow up!
I'm on this video!! Min 7:33! Feeling TH-cam famous lol You should definitely join another month. I have been a member since Jan and I can tell you, you joined the worse time since then lol but still making us money. I'm a big CL lover and I stick with it but do minis!
Definitely interested in more of these. Even if it's just paper trading I'd say run as many of the strategies on as many of the recommended intruments as possible to get the largest sample size you can.
Paper trading is one of the best ways to really be able to see just how well a particular strategy will work without any of the risks and something that I am constantly recommending that people try. I recommend paper trading on two different levels, one that is close to your real world budget so that you can see how the results would actually be with a limited portfolio, and the second one with the sky's the limit approach where you can trade as much as you want just to see an aggregated result.
Nice video as usual ! Very informative. The way you stalked that poot guy :D. In any case, this is a very interesting topic. I am highly skeptical of algos for retail traders for the same resaons than you. Thanks again for the (costly) first hand experience.
Any system that uses that much leverage is practically guaranteed to eventually go bust or have a catastrophic -80%+ drawdown. I'd look into using less leverage and swing trading longer timeframes. You won't get the +100% a week or whatever is promised, but all anyone needs to become wealthy is about 20-40% per year if you are patient. I've been developing systems at Grizzly Bulls, and my best, is down just -1.58% in 2022 vs. -17.39% for the S&P 500, with lower drawdown and volatility for a nearly +16% outperformance margin, using no leverage (always either 1x long or in cash).
U should come up with a rule based system for determining trend vs range environment. It's something that pro traders do everyday religiously before mkt open. Definitely curious to see your results trying this again. Otherwise, I think your expectations were a bit unrealistic headed into this, even despite your skepticism. $1.5k/month would be ridiculously cheap for a 100% hands off net profitable algo trading strategy. For that price it is not unreasonable to have to tweak it. Great video, gl
The search for the Holy Grail. I highly recommend checking out mean reversion strats. It's clear in the market right now that mean reversion is a theme.
Wtf bro I've seen you taking a beating in the market my heart reaches out to you I'm thankful that I don't have to run that experiment because you did... Thank you
Thanks for doing this. I've been intrigued by trading bots. I hope you try it again, it seems like there is indeed a learning-curve here. I was surprised that you didn't use Lauren's recommended settings as a beginner.
Hey Daniel just a helpful tip. Add words on the screen to describe what you are doing and also add a visual dollar amount every time you mention it. It will make you more money and it is definitely worth the investment of time/labor in my opinion. Thanks for making this video regardless.
Would love to see this trading strategy for another period. Couldn’t help but think the learning curve could take a couple of months. Perhaps a good way of imagining the algo is thay it accelerates this curve, rather than completely remove it
Thanks Daniel, great video. I’d love to see another month, but maybe just sticking with one strategy/instrument the whole time. Going back and forth makes it hard to see what’s actually working.
Yes. I agree. YM is super solid as well as NQ on the trend Algo. Nasdaq is my favorite though, so I always start with that product when I have a new Algo developed.
Well done Daniel, yes please continue longer, it seems there is a learning curve for the operator, so that is NOT Algo trading, thank you for experimenting 👍😊
Great insight Daniel, I build my own bots in Metatrader and find they have to be switched on and off based on market conditions, I would love to see a longer test even on demo
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech and Health.
I engage in different kinds of investment (more of my capital in crpto), through compound interest and leveraging and as well operating with a good professional (financial advisor), so far I've attained good ROI over $500K
Tnx for this info, I just looked up your financial Advisor and found her web page. Her resume is pretty impressive. I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply.
What were the other people trading that you referenced that working making really good money, and why weren't you running their exact strategy after you saw that?
According to my financial adviser Maurice Ed Zander", now is the best time to trade or invest, buying BTC and ALTS and most stocks with a DCA strategy. I just can't imagine what my portfolio would look like in the next leg up, but have already got 2x my $30k thousand dollars am fine and out. L
Bitcoin has been the most profitable investment online, if only you could trade with professional broker that will work you through the process needed.
As a beginner who don't understand how Bitcoin trade works and you want to make profit from it, I'll advise you to first start working with a professional broker
I FEEL LIKE THE HOLE SEASON IS OVER, I'M TRYING TO GET INTO TRADING AS A ROOKIE, BUT I'VE HAD SO MUCH LOSS0 TRYING TO TRADE ON MY OWN, PLEASE WHAT STRATEGIES DO I NEED TO EARN PROFITS FROM THE MARKET
The best strategy to use in trading is to trade a professional who understands the market quite well, that way maximum profit is guaranteed. Because I have learned along the way of my investment that research and analysis are important, note that experience is more needed, than luck when it comes to the financial market.
This Bitcoin trading has set sail. I honestly cannot overemphasize how much delving into Bitcoin trading has helped saved and changed the lives of many.
most tinmes it amnazes me greatly the way I moved fro an average lifestyle to earning over $62k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understooda lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
@Daniel, the insufficient funds you mentioned might have been because the other trade the bot took could have been open at the time, that would have locked some of your balance against that open trade leaving less than $1000 'available' to lock for the new trade it wanted to place.
Simple warnings: -"algo's" are just someone's thought process, converted to a programming language. Nothing at all magical -for every strategy, some much bigger, smarter fish is looking to crush it and take all your money. Literally, all that's on your side is luck and timing. I honestly believe the people who do the best are excellent at being trendy, or at least identifying the trends, and they know when to cut losses or take profits. So, yeah, don't piss your money away on algo's, books, clinics, or whatever. Just learn the basics, and figure out whether you're a f-kup or not.
I would love to see a round 2. I would also like to see you put in a little effort. If you can crush it with minimal effort that's pretty much just as good as in your sleep in my book. I'm learning how to trade futures right now and I feel like I'm going to end up giving a bot a shot at some point. The ones I've seen so far still need you to keep an eye on them and know the favorable and unfavorable conditions. It might not be effortless, but without them there is a good chance of not being able to keep up with the market and hit every opportunity for the strats they're using.
Sometimes I really wonder how people make huge profit investing in the stock market, I know investing is a legitimate way to gain financial freedom but how is it done?
Honestly speaking I do see it that forex and cry-pto is one of the profitable capital exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.
Your a real Gentleman God bless you Your telling the truth I hope you will succeed and become a multimillionaire Your one of a kind Guys like you deserve a medal
You did great for someone green at this. I would say have a plan and stick to it no matter what. You did exactly what most new traders do, jump around looking for something and stopping your wins too early. The way to make money is REALLY SIMPLE... Have a Plan! Your wins MUST be 2 to 1 and you let them run. So in the long run, you will make money. If you are making $40 but only losing $20, you will eventually start building up your capital.
Should consider running multiple, complementary strategies at the same time. So mean reversion and trend, you wouldn't expect both of these to do well at the same time (by definition), but if both strategies are profitable in the long term, they should do well together in a portfolio. You'd probably need to put in more capital, but keep the trade size level small.
Daniel. Thanks for the video. I vote that you don't continue with this Algo. You can make more $ on your own. You like to trade, and you like to trade indices rather than individual companies. Set up a bear spread. Buy one ( or more) index put option with a higher strike price and sell a put of the same index with a lower strike price. Same expiration. While this is a directional bet, this is heavy market that needs to overcome many more rate increases to tame inflation that is not slowing any time soon, and this is not priced in. Multiples still very high versus history. US markets going lower. my 2c
You get another brilliant idea, a special idea. Another situation, another stock to reinvest his earnings and then some. -Lauren from wolf of algo trading lol
Have you considered looking at the algos on the Collective2 marketplace? Strategies there use a copytrade system with prices around 100$/mo for a subscription. You can see how long someone's system has been live and if they take their own signals.

Thank you for your transparency !
one more month for sure! With NT, I think the margin required to take the trade also considers your auto stop loss level so perhaps you had enough margin for the initial trade, as mentioned, but if the trade turned on you, you wouldn't have had enough margin to cover the loss of where your stop loss was placed?? just a thought. Great video as always ✌

Loved this! Been looking at the markets for many years. Thanks.
Exactly the kind of videos we need :) ! Very realistic. Sorry for your losses hopefully your next experiment turns out much more profitable !
It would definitely be cool to see how this works over a longer period of time! Great vid!
First rule of any algo trading is to backtest your strategy before going live.
I love you're content aswell as your editing, audio design and cinematography. Best quality I've seen in years.
Also you might aswell give it another go ha.

I've been following your channel for a minute, great stuff, I like soaking up all the knowledge I can, as I'm saving up money to start my little trading career. You seem to be one of the few that tells it exactly how it is. That bein said, if your up for another month so am I lol
thanks for taking the time giving us realistic, unbiased trading results from these type of experiments!
You're the real anti-guru. Part 2 please.
I had a similar experience while trading in Forex. Back-testing and simulation accounts always show a positive result and somehow while trading on the real account, sh*t gets real.

simulation are using fake too good to be true data. almost like they want to imprint the pattern on you
Thank you so much Daniel for the eye opener and bringing out the reality in the space . It gives any newcomer a greater awareness of algo trading is not fully auto but manual intervention is needed no matter the best strategies.
With kind regards,
RKD
Algo trading is something I just started looking into so this video has perfect timing for me. Please retry the experiment with weekly backtest comparisons prior to taking a strategy for the day/week and sticking to micros only. Maybe on a 10k paper account to minimize real world losses. Thank you and subscribed.
Back and forward test everything without curve fitting and incubate your algo on demo without manual intervention for several months before committing your hard earned cash .
Being there, done that and this is the only way to learn how to trade and to get more experience and minimize losses, good luck and thank you for being transparent .
Bro it’s crazy. I got super into trading around the same time I found your channel and I’ve been on the grind on a small options account learning everything just about the same time as you post all your vids. Really cool how far your knowledge of the market has gone🙌🏽

@@samuelponce1 Мои соболезнования, но он повесился после чёрного понедельника)) Джекпот был слишком большим
came here from her tiktok live so glad I saw this video. Saved me mad money lol
A few years ago I personally tested over 1000 algos on an MT4 back tester and without fail they ALL lost. Maybe the algos have improved. I even got some written for me and they lost too. One called Gallileo looks interesting but I haven't tested it. Maybe someone else has ??
As an algo trader, I do sell mine strictly to build my bag up to allow my capital investment to compound as it continues it success. The mentality is simple - more passive streams of income is great.
Thanks for taking a hit for people like me who wonder if these work, thanks for your time and sacrifice!
Great video! I love the neutral approach. Keep up the great content
Yes I think you need to give this developer a fair shot it sounds like she has a pretty good success rate jumping in and out of micros and minis and various contracts though maybe not the best idea just stick to one and test it for three weeks look forward to seeing the follow up!
Thank you Max. I appreciate the kind words
I'm on this video!! Min 7:33! Feeling TH-cam famous lol
You should definitely join another month. I have been a member since Jan and I can tell you, you joined the worse time since then lol but still making us money. I'm a big CL lover and I stick with it but do minis!
I LOVE YOU IRMA!!!
Please give another shot! Awesome video!!
I agree he should come back!!!
Definitely interested in more of these. Even if it's just paper trading I'd say run as many of the strategies on as many of the recommended intruments as possible to get the largest sample size you can.
yes !!!! next
I want to see him drink a bottle of Jack Daniels' and take the C8 corvette for a spin!!!!!!!!!!
Paper trading is one of the best ways to really be able to see just how well a particular strategy will work without any of the risks and something that I am constantly recommending that people try.
I recommend paper trading on two different levels, one that is close to your real world budget so that you can see how the results would actually be with a limited portfolio, and the second one with the sky's the limit approach where you can trade as much as you want just to see an aggregated result.
Nice video as usual ! Very informative. The way you stalked that poot guy :D. In any case, this is a very interesting topic. I am highly skeptical of algos for retail traders for the same resaons than you. Thanks again for the (costly) first hand experience.
Great video. I’d like to see you try it for another month.
Excited to say he has stayed for another month. So I am excited to see his progress in my Algo.
Any system that uses that much leverage is practically guaranteed to eventually go bust or have a catastrophic -80%+ drawdown. I'd look into using less leverage and swing trading longer timeframes. You won't get the +100% a week or whatever is promised, but all anyone needs to become wealthy is about 20-40% per year if you are patient. I've been developing systems at Grizzly Bulls, and my best, is down just -1.58% in 2022 vs. -17.39% for the S&P 500, with lower drawdown and volatility for a nearly +16% outperformance margin, using no leverage (always either 1x long or in cash).
U should come up with a rule based system for determining trend vs range environment. It's something that pro traders do everyday religiously before mkt open. Definitely curious to see your results trying this again.
Otherwise, I think your expectations were a bit unrealistic headed into this, even despite your skepticism. $1.5k/month would be ridiculously cheap for a 100% hands off net profitable algo trading strategy. For that price it is not unreasonable to have to tweak it. Great video, gl
The search for the Holy Grail. I highly recommend checking out mean reversion strats. It's clear in the market right now that mean reversion is a theme.

Wtf bro I've seen you taking a beating in the market my heart reaches out to you I'm thankful that I don't have to run that experiment because you did... Thank you
Thanks for doing this. I've been intrigued by trading bots. I hope you try it again, it seems like there is indeed a learning-curve here. I was surprised that you didn't use Lauren's recommended settings as a beginner.
Let's Talk 👆👆📲📲📈📈.
Hey Daniel just a helpful tip. Add words on the screen to describe what you are doing and also add a visual dollar amount every time you mention it. It will make you more money and it is definitely worth the investment of time/labor in my opinion. Thanks for making this video regardless.
Would love to see this trading strategy for another period. Couldn’t help but think the learning curve could take a couple of months. Perhaps a good way of imagining the algo is thay it accelerates this curve, rather than completely remove it
Awesome video man, would love to see this running for one more month!
Thanks Daniel, great video. I’d love to see another month, but maybe just sticking with one strategy/instrument the whole time. Going back and forth makes it hard to see what’s actually working.
Yes. I agree. YM is super solid as well as NQ on the trend Algo. Nasdaq is my favorite though, so I always start with that product when I have a new Algo developed.
@@boldbotllc what's the trend algo's name?
@@taylorx2 BoldTrend. It's part of my Algo package.
@@boldbotllc this video is based on your algo?

Yes, definitely give it another shot! I’m intrigued to try as well…
This video was really interesting and well made, I would love to see you do another video trying out one more month. Great stuff as always!

U should Trade/Study only in SIM mode until you get a handle (90 Day Minumim for Learning Curve) on the Platform & AI Software Software.
Well done Daniel, yes please continue longer, it seems there is a learning curve for the operator, so that is NOT Algo trading, thank you for experimenting 👍😊

Bro you just make youtube a better place, I love you
Great insight Daniel, I build my own bots in Metatrader and find they have to be switched on and off based on market conditions, I would love to see a longer test even on demo
Great video.....please continue. I am considering Galileo fx. Glad to see this video first.😊
When it comes to investment, diversification is key. That is why I have my interests set on key sectors based on performance and projected growth. They range from the EV sector, renewable energy, Tech and Health.
I engage in different kinds of investment (more of my capital in crpto), through compound interest and leveraging and as well operating with a good professional (financial advisor), so far I've attained good ROI over $500K
How can one find a verifiable financial Advisor , I buy the idea of employing the services of one.
Great! Got it.
Tnx for this info, I just looked up your financial Advisor and found her web page. Her resume is pretty impressive. I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply.
Nice scam
What were the other people trading that you referenced that working making really good money, and why weren't you running their exact strategy after you saw that?
According to my financial adviser Maurice Ed Zander", now is the best time to trade or invest, buying BTC and ALTS and most stocks with a DCA strategy. I just can't imagine what my portfolio would look like in the next leg up, but have already got 2x my $30k thousand dollars am fine and out. L
I'm making a whole lot of profit off trading stock. at the same time, I'd like to invest in forex and Bitcoin as heard its really happening now
Bitcoin has been the most profitable investment online, if only you could trade with professional broker that will work you through the process needed.
Trading with an expert is just the best strategy for newbies and it will really help alot as a beginner.
As a beginner who don't understand how Bitcoin trade works and you want to make profit from it, I'll advise you to first start working with a professional broker
how do I get a professional broker to trade for me, I have been trading on my own and blowing up my account?
This man makes a video implementing everything I wonder about 😂 love it another month
I FEEL LIKE THE HOLE SEASON IS OVER, I'M TRYING TO GET INTO TRADING AS A ROOKIE, BUT I'VE HAD SO MUCH LOSS0 TRYING TO TRADE ON MY OWN, PLEASE WHAT STRATEGIES DO I NEED TO EARN PROFITS FROM THE MARKET
The best strategy to use in
trading is to trade a professional who
understands the market quite well, that
way maximum profit is guaranteed.
Because I have learned along the way
of my investment that research and
analysis are important, note that
experience is more needed, than luck
when it comes to the financial market.
This Bitcoin trading has
set sail. I honestly cannot
overemphasize how much delving into
Bitcoin trading has helped saved and
changed the lives of many.
most tinmes it amnazes me greatly the
way I moved fro an average lifestyle to
earning over $62k per month, utter
shock is the word. I have understooda
lot in the past few years to doubt that
opportunities abound in the financial
markets, The only thing is to know
where to focus.
I'm a little confused here, Do you hand over your funds and what does she charge for her services?
no no
Pacome Ali Thanks dear, I'll most
definitely ensure to do that.
Thank you, Daniel. I tried Ninja trader demo. Why don't do Ninja Trader Algorithm Trading. I am learning Forex and Options.
@Daniel, the insufficient funds you mentioned might have been because the other trade the bot took could have been open at the time, that would have locked some of your balance against that open trade leaving less than $1000 'available' to lock for the new trade it wanted to place.
I love watching these!! Good job!!
Simple warnings:
-"algo's" are just someone's thought process, converted to a programming language. Nothing at all magical
-for every strategy, some much bigger, smarter fish is looking to crush it and take all your money.
Literally, all that's on your side is luck and timing. I honestly believe the people who do the best are excellent at being trendy, or at least identifying the trends, and they know when to cut losses or take profits.
So, yeah, don't piss your money away on algo's, books, clinics, or whatever. Just learn the basics, and figure out whether you're a f-kup or not.
I would love to see a round 2. I would also like to see you put in a little effort. If you can crush it with minimal effort that's pretty much just as good as in your sleep in my book. I'm learning how to trade futures right now and I feel like I'm going to end up giving a bot a shot at some point. The ones I've seen so far still need you to keep an eye on them and know the favorable and unfavorable conditions. It might not be effortless, but without them there is a good chance of not being able to keep up with the market and hit every opportunity for the strats they're using.
Sometimes I really wonder how people make huge profit investing in the stock market, I know investing is a legitimate way to gain financial freedom but how is it done?
Investing in stock and forex is a good idea, a good trading system will put you through many days of success
Honestly speaking I do see it that forex and cry-pto is one of the profitable capital exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.
@Ashley Miguel That's impressive. Are you giving him your money or it stays in your trading account? how does it works
I'm a fan of trading, I hodl some few coins.
Who's this trader, I always see Nura Carvalho at top comments on some video I've watched
Your a real Gentleman
God bless you
Your telling the truth
I hope you will succeed and become a multimillionaire
Your one of a kind
Guys like you deserve a medal
You did great for someone green at this. I would say have a plan and stick to it no matter what. You did exactly what most new traders do, jump around looking for something and stopping your wins too early.
The way to make money is REALLY SIMPLE...
Have a Plan!
Your wins MUST be 2 to 1 and you let them run. So in the long run, you will make money. If you are making $40 but only losing $20, you will eventually start building up your capital.
i got anxiety watching your balance going down ;) would love to see you do it for another month. great vid like always
Should consider running multiple, complementary strategies at the same time. So mean reversion and trend, you wouldn't expect both of these to do well at the same time (by definition), but if both strategies are profitable in the long term, they should do well together in a portfolio. You'd probably need to put in more capital, but keep the trade size level small.
RTY is the large e-mini for the Russell. M2K is the MICRO Russell.
yes
Daniel. Thanks for the video. I vote that you don't continue with this Algo. You can make more $ on your own. You like to trade, and you like to trade indices rather than individual companies. Set up a bear spread. Buy one ( or more) index put option with a higher strike price and sell a put of the same index with a lower strike price. Same expiration. While this is a directional bet, this is heavy market that needs to overcome many more rate increases to tame inflation that is not slowing any time soon, and this is not priced in. Multiples still very high versus history. US markets going lower. my 2c
Positions or ban
You get another brilliant idea, a special idea. Another situation, another stock to reinvest his earnings and then some. -Lauren from wolf of algo trading lol
Those fees are insane ! No way s it worth the risk.
Have you considered looking at the algos on the Collective2 marketplace? Strategies there use a copytrade system with prices around 100$/mo for a subscription. You can see how long someone's system has been live and if they take their own signals.
Please try for another month, this was a great video.
