Re: ChatGPT

I follow a bunch of subreddits on programming. Most developers seem to use ChatGPT to help (like you said) with small snippets of code. Like, "Build me a regex to do XYZ." If you haven't played with Hive or the Genetic Algorithm builder in Wave59, take a look at those. I have one hive that I built a...

Re: ChatGPT

I have watched a couple YouTubers using ChatGPT to construct systems. Most seem to just be some over-fit backtest that I would not trust. One guy I follow (and disclaimer, I took his course a couple years back), has a nice Tradestation video w/ChatGPT. It is easy enough to convert to QScript. (Give ...

Re: Unable to connect

I see the same problem with any version greater than 9.x of TWS. (I use DTN IQfeed for my data so I haven't been forced to upgrade yet...)

Re: “4 banger handheld calculators” Michael S. Jenkins

I also used to do these calculations "by hand." :) When my grandfather passed away, I was around ~10 y/o. I was able to get most of his Astrology books. It is interesting to see his marginalia in some of these books dated in the early 1900's. Anywho, I tried to reproduce one of these ideas in Wave59...

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope y'all accomplished your trading goals in '22! Better and bigger successes for '23! For me personally, I was able to close around a 30% profit for the year. I hit a big drawdown in September that I had to climb out of. But with proper position sizing it wasn't tooooo stressful. I had a fair bi...

Re: How I optimize

Re: How I optimize

To add some more color to my initial post. Here is the full spreadsheet I was looking at: 2022-12-07_10-40-24.png On row 6 (ES), I had a resultant number of 0.84, it was my worse performer (per the System Report results from Wave59). So this was my focus before Q1 begins. After relooking at my strat...

How I optimize

Hi All, I would like to share my approach in how I think about optimizing my day-to-day activities. I trade 99% as a mechanical/system trader these days. Like most of you I trade only the Futures markets. I am currently trading 9 different markets. I also try very hard not to touch my setup for 3 mo...
