Welcome to TL!

 

 

Are your strategies automated in EL? Do you find the Spyders liquid enough for algo trading in lower timeframes? Do you have any difficulties shorting these instruments? Are you trading outright directional moves or pairs etc?

Hey Blue, screen of XLY , also strats are auto, sreen alert as well as email alert, I then paper track as they are under test mode due to capital structure constraint. 20k is my set trade , 200k account cap on the 9 sectors, regular session. liquidity on a major spyders handling 5 to 50 mil daily vol may take a few pennies on the spread. time frames , i utilize 10 min bars, if have found this to be a sweet spot within the algo and the instrument , indexes like this move in a turtle fasion but have the power of a dinasourus rex. lol... All are shortable as the slope permits, I stay 20% above or below the 0 line of the range on a 6 month chart, no sence to trade a sleeping rex. slope carries a multiple in the risk / reward department . dont fight city hall. The trade is based on directional moves based on slope, wave , average and equity. generating a traders log in the traders log forum. as a tip, dont trade real cabbage unless you have a system that is proven profitable over a 6 month period, expect 6 to 1 loss/win ratio , be happy to exit a loser as it shows control. I have limited my emotion thru algo's, the only over ride i do is political... I dont trust politics so i step aside during the unknowns, as i recently shut down the system prior to new years and no vote taken, yes lost the gap up as i was long all 9 sectors and profited, yet the uncertainty was not worth the risk involved. my thought was against a fiscal passing, then again look what happened, after the gap i refused to reenter until a corrective wave and a new signal. never chase , let her come to you. gotta split good stuff

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
