Below, you will find my proprietary ‘blueprint’ workflow for building micro-futures strategies using the StrategyQuant platform. It took me a few years to develop and fine-tune every single step of it. The main goal of this project was to see if it was possible to create a general workflow that would produce ‘tradable’ strategies on all futures markets. Read more…
So, guys if you never have made any $ in algo-trading and you are still struggling, you just need to try trading futures using StrategyQuant strategies. Why? Because it works!
Strategy validation explained in two words: Avoid meta-stability!
What is the essence of strategy validation? It’s all about avoiding meta-stability of selected setpoints. That’s it. This is the secret used by many professional traders. Every one is doing only this one single thing…
What can you expect from algo-trading? Realistic and honest truth…
Below you will find an example of what you can expect when trading using strategies that are developed on StrategyQuant platform. This particular MNQ futures contract strategy makes around 100% per year and shows stable and continuous growth even during very volatile market events and market crashes. Below my results of two years of trading on a live account:
All strategies presented below are designed using StrategyQuant X platform and are used in my personal portfolio (= simulated results 2003…2019). If you are interested in our work, read more here and do not forget to join our forum.
Disclaimer: The presented results are based on a simulation (back-test) using accurate historical tick-by-tick data with 30%…70% OOS (out-of-sample = data not used during strategy generation). However, the positive historical results do not guarantee future continuation of the same or similar performance. SQX platform with its automated workflows is relatively new and there is no or very little live-performance data from live trading accounts.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”
Let’s look for a minute at the big picture w.r.t. system trading, which of course is making money. So how do system traders make money? Simply by using 1 simple formula. Below the only equation you need to remember in order to be successful in trading:
So if that’s so simple, why we need to collaborate? Where is the ‘catch’? The big ‘catch’ is, that it takes time… a lot of time and computing power to find uncorrelated and very robust systems with a positive expectancy. That is why the only way to go is: collaboration… Read more…
After many years of EA coding for other traders (also for many of you) I think, I have seen it ALL. I have seen traders creating thier EA’s and strategies based only on one chart screenshot with only few trades on it or just because they have read something on the web. Obviously this approach doesn’t work! So the only way to go is to start creating strategy-portfolio’s using auto-generation supported by machine learning platforms like StrategyQuant. Read more…
StrategyQuant is one of the best algo-trading/strategy development platforms available. I have decided to write an extended StrategyQuant review because more than 90% of all strategies I run on my MT4 are developed using this single tool. After many years of programming and testing for myself and also for other traders, I am 100% sure this is the proper way to go. So, what is so special about StrategyQuant?
Learn how to validate your strategy design process.
Using this very easy to use ‘Simulated Forward Test’ method, you can verify if your system design method is really resulting in generating of profitable trading systems. That’s a very easy alternative to the commonly used method which is based on ‘generate and hope’ methodology where traders just ‘hope’ they are right about their strategy generation workflows. Stop wasting your time and money and get an additional confidence in system trading in just a few steps! Read more…
Free video course: How to properly optimize trading systems
Curve-fitting is the most common mistake made by inexperienced algo-traders. This is because the MT4 based optimization is nothing else but pure curve-fitting. Curve-fitting is a fancy name for cherry-picking (or ‘falsely’ connecting the dots), where you optimize your system using all possible combinations of all parameters and you select only the best results, the highest profits or the best looking equity charts.
