@WhizzTrades 90% change this strategy is overfitted and would not produce anywhere near this performance. Interesting to post May, but not June's performance or even show live trades taken using it.

@WhizzTrades "strategy hopping again?" proceeds to instruct folks to try another strategy lol.

It's easy to look at pure profitability, but I am learning that consistent profits across weeks and less volatility in win and loss swings is way better.

[Darkwing Duck @darkwingtrades]

As a new algo bot developer I don't know when stop tinkering. Slight adjustments to multiple TPs and loss per day blocks. This version has lower win rate, but half the amount of drawdown.

This thing is the best one I have built yet. Now I just need to activate it on my 4 PA accounts in Apex.

Why does NT8 not have an easy method for updating a stop order price in an active trade? #NT8 #ninjatrader8 #QuantTrading

automated trading is the best business idea - I have spent years watching charts for hours....a bot to trade for you? So much time saved. I feel like that is true freedom.

[Darkwing Duck @darkwingtrades]

As of now I have about 4 coded bots that from a backtesting perspective work well. I have no idea how to prioritize them for trading....They all have similar approaches, but subtle differences

[Darkwing Duck @darkwingtrades]

I can pass evals without issues - especially if I use an automated bot to do a full risk trade. This code works well and allows me to pass evals of 50k with about 60% of the time. The drawdown on this bot would not make it work well for PA accounts.

I am trying to automate a strategy that is compatible for funded brokers.

Trailing drawdown is a killer considering its more than just the "drawdown" of a strategy. You have to be aware of hidden drawdown - or the drawdown from a trade that was in profit before hitting stoploss

Performance of my current coded strategy for Jan-June 2025:

[Darkwing Duck @darkwingtrades]

One of the biggest challenges I have found so far is coding strategies in #NT8, but real execution doesn't perform as well

[Darkwing Duck @darkwingtrades]

Today starts my journey of automating my trading strategies and actually be successful
