I think what no one has said is that most of have been able to come up with an automated system that shows equally impressive backtesting results, and then found that it does not translate to real time (even real time sim) trading. This seems especially true for systems based on range bars, since the bars are formed after the fact.
If you want to gain some credibility, post the trades as soon as they are entered in your sim account (15-min delay), e.g, BEFORE you know if they will work out or not.
I'm NOT here to gain credibility or make friends. I don't really care what you all think of me, I already had a pretty good idea when the thread exploded to 5000+ views and I had receive NO positive feedback yet and now we are borderline 10,000 in just 4-5 days.
@MerlinWorld, you need to stop being so rude in your posts. If you continue to be rude, you will be banned without further warning.
This community is here to help. Yet you act against the community in nearly every single post you make.
BTW, the thread "exploded" with views because it was featured in our newsletter, to help educate other traders who are learning the same things you are.
The majority of us accept that to be a successful trader we must continually learn and adapt, and we are members of this community to help each other -- not to simply take without giving (you've stated multiple times you only want someone to program for you, forget any and all other replies).
Because maybe not to you but to me, A LOT of those thread are not about "helping me" but more about "indoctrination" I will stop replying to the majority of posts (99%) that I don't like.
This way, this community will regain it's tranquility.
Your believe that an automated strategy around this indicator will make you a millionaire in 10 weeks shows to me that you are still a rookie.
Not only should you get banned for rude behaviour on this neat forum, but also for keeping the dream for newbies alive that an indicator will make you rich.
You are also spending way too much on this forum, while you’d be spending your valuable time in learning and finding an edge with this indicator if you really believed in it.
I believe you have other intentions than finding a developer to code for you.
Nope, I never like people who did that. If you have a money making machine as a system, why the hell would you charge people for it $299, $999, or even $25,000 when you can trade the next day and get it yourself without the hassle of pushing some sale down people's throat.
Don't worry, I will come back here and post screenshots of this system once it's built as long as this thread is not deleted and I'm not banned which seems almost inevitable by now.
I admit that I'm in a small minority of people that wish you would temper your approach but the only way you will get banned is if you violate the wildly accepted and hard established decorum here.
EVERYONE here wants you to succeed in trading, and be happy in life.
You are hyper defensive, insecure and disrespectful. Those are hallmarks for some situation or something that you have been through in life...something that none of us know. Most of us can deal with that in a reasonable way. Really the guys that have been here a while have seen it all.
There are two things that I am trying to save you from and before you rage on me for saying that, consider, what from my experience would make me care at all about your outcome?
First, your arrogance smacks of foolishness. You think that it is enthusiasm for some certainty or edge that you have worked out in your project. This will lead to your ruin. That leads to the second...
There are a fair number of active members here that have a literal shit ton of experience across a diverse skill set. ALL of those people, to a man, will go out of their way to help you. You hear that as tell you you are wrong and sit down, shut up...whatever.
I'm asking you to amend your way of thinking, not your ideas about trading or the markets. If you can get to a place where you search out value with a spirit of gratitude and consider things fairly presented you will be able to dismiss things without harm.
If other members think that I have mis-characterized this or that my "advice" is not accurate I will happily submit to those considerations. If guys think I might make some sense, maybe they will say that as well.
If, on the other hand, you have found programmers to meet your perceived immediate needs maybe you will move on in short time as the forum's first Ten Week Merlinanaire.
Either way, All the Best, man. Be well. Trade well, and do well.
