I’m happy with that for my first year of trading in this market.  I’ve learnt a huge amount and I’m looking forward to next year.

Great work Slade in what has been a very tough year.

Its a year today since my first strategy went live and I’m super happy my progress to date.

A big thank you to the Chartist team and all the members of the forum, your input and support has been critical in getting me here.

I’ve started moving to Real Test with one system migrated and running in production.

I build software for a living and I think Real Test is a very well designed and clever piece of software, the level of support in the forum is outstanding too.  It will be a big timesaver for me.

I put two systems on hold, the drawdowns are far larger than history so I need to investigate. 

Everything is now running on RealTest which is working well. 

Hope everyone is well.

Not a bad month all things considered.

Two of my systems are still on hold pending review, live DD was higher than backtesting and after moving to RT there are some stats that I’m not quite happy with.

Its been about a year since I finished the course and I am working with Nick again to review progress to date and make some adjustments.  After a couple of calls we have a plan for the MOC systems which is very positive.

Migration to RT is complete and saving me time in both my daily process and building new systems.  The side-by-side comparison of live trades with a backtest using TradeList is a nice feature (although a bit fiddley to get right).  I plan to move to Order Clerk at some point which should be better still although its not a priority at this stage.

Happy trading.

Cheers

I’ve been away so not taking any notice of the markets other than placing my orders each day…….it sounds like my time was better spent drinking cocktails on the beach rather than trading.

My weekly swing strategy performed well but had a number of missed fills where the limit was met or passed.

Cheers

That is what I found with the ASX weekly swing … too many missed fills mainly due to lack of vol at the buy price.

Do you think you’ll continue trading it long term?

I spoke to someone recently who trades circa $30k with the swing strategy and so far has no issues with fills.

[SladeChisholm]

Not sure how long I’ll trade the ASX Weekly Swing.  Its going ok and I don’t want to reduce the number of live systems any further, it keeps my hand in and is minimal effort.

I’m in the process of coding a Multi MR MOC system (sounds like you are doing the same).  Its going well and is my priority for now, I’m hoping to spend Friday working on it.

Cheers
