Julie Wade - J AUTO TRADING STRATEGIES (http://www.jautotradingstrategies.com)
For the record, aslan's Better Renko bars are the only NT Renko bars I'm aware of that are totally backtestable without having to add in a fudge factor or use a custom fill algorithm.
Normal Renko bars redraw themselves to look nice so you can be fooled into programming a ridiculous strategy that trades 20 times a day profitably in the Strategy Analyzer (yes, I was fooled too).
If your strategy trades less than once a day, then you're probably okay to use normal Renko bars as long as you add in some extra slippage.
After reading through this whole thread, I don't see that anyone adequately addressed your initial query. Here's my take on J AUTO Strategies (which, as Julie correctly points out, are not strategies at all but simply demos of indicators making money on cherry-picked long trends).
From what I can see, the indies she is licensing are nothing more than repackaged indies that you can find here on futures.io. The Bloodhound templates she sells are simple to create, something that I could do after my first month using BH. The Strategy Analyzers are good ideas, but they likewise can be assembled in an afternoon by anyone with basic Ninja experience. Her YouTube videos are all cherry-picked beautiful long trends that are huge wins. I've got no experience with her trading room (I'd gladly evaluate that if given a free week or two to experience it), but based on my off-and-on evaluations, she is simply making money gift-wrapping and selling open-source indicators that others have freely contributed to futures.io. I don't do business with those types of people; my money goes to people like Harry at Lizard Trader, who are authoring original code, advancing the craft, and charging barely enough to fund their printer ink.
And as for your comment about Shark spamming you, please be aware that both Shark and Ninja do absolutely no vetting of their "partners" (maybe that would be a CFTC violation, I don't know), so they let literally anybody guest-star in a sales video. It's a shame...you have clowns like Woody's CCI Club, Ferenc with his Romanian/Hungarian Remek system and Sean Kozak/Goldenzone (and maybe Julie Wade?) getting an implied vote of confidence from these two reputable companies. Ferenc was literally attending the same Blackbird trainings I was, and then the next week he held himself out as an expert. Shark and Ninja don't realize how it sullies their reputations when they don't make at least a minimal effort to separate the wheat from the chaff.
You have to wonder if it's just another case of someone just not being able to trade profitably, so set yourself up and sell your knowledge to others. If they're so profitable, why don't they just trade?
It just amazes me what is being said about you by people who have no idea who you are or the amount of work you have put in. First, all I have done for the past 5 years is keep my head down and work on my own trade logic. I use momentum, linear regression and higher time frame trend. I have 2 strategies that I have been refining, a directional trading strategy and a reversion to the mean strategy. I am walk forward testing both starting Jan 7 so I can get some results that can be posted. The members in my room are all happy with my templates and are looking forward to my algos that will hopefully be released next Summer. I am too.
It amazes me that vendors think they post cherry picked charts and expect people to fork out 3.5k without any research or querying about their products.
I recall you saying last year that you were going to be journaling your trading. Now it’s NEXT year ... *yawn*.
