Not that much of profit but remember the crypto currency is very tiny. IT is sort of like forex. Anyhow, I woke up to 4 positions with tiny move. Hey, it is profit but no loss. It was a 3 out of 4 wins but the weekend showed better results. I just want to optimize to improve but it lowers the number of trades. As of right now, I have limited only 1 cross can be open at the same time which greatly reduces profit potential. It seems the conditions can be right for these entries which means potential positive moves.

As explained in this video, there are many reasons why I am using minute timeframe. It is a very tough environment to trade within crypto but there are many opportunities. As the market is either too volatile or flat, it makes you wonder if it is worth trading in. You could use the classic risk on/off mode to enter trading when the markets allow it. You could also experiment with better technical analysis indicators like harmonics or candles to improve. I am not sure if either will work.

Fibonacci levels may be useful for entry and exit moves. Who know but let me know what you think could work?

I show to use these charts and techniques I demonstrate in this video

Should I dump Oanda forex and CFD trading

The actual video starts after a minute. This another Facebook live stream to teach about forex

As of today, I am find many more advantages with crypto as explained in this video

Forex:

pros: none

cons:

tiny moves (.5 % )

use 3x-10x leverage to get same moves as crypto

brokers are usually corrupt and will work against (except ECN)

commission fee via spreads

artificially stop loss (stop hunting)

CFDs

cons:

same as forex

tiny volume where the bars don’t move 3+ hours

Crypto (Binance)

pros:

potential high move (e.g. >1% moves in an hour)

no leverage needed

commissions fee are marginal (e.g. 0.1%)

cons:

they can cheat you/corrupt/manipulate on other exchanges others than Binance

This was an email on my opinion on trying to code this

This is pertaining to scenarios like this:

Correct it’s Van Tharp strategy. It’s an evaluation for risk to reward when taking a trade based on a return along with position sizing. Do you think this is something you can code in the system for Working with Interactive Brokers API? It’s basically getting interactive brokers to trail an unrealized PNL. So no matter how many positions I decide to buy it would mass sell on market if I lose -$150 but also trail the unrealized PNL by “R” increments to help for 

example:

1. Positions gain +$150 unrealized PNL auto stop  $0.00 for breakeven all trades closed on a market order then lock account for the day.

2. Positions gain +$300 unrealized PNL auto stop +$150 all trades closed on a market order then lock account for the day. 

3. Positions gain $450 unrealized PNL auto stop +$300 all trades closed on a market order the lock account for the day. 

So example 2 would be a 1R and example 3 would be a 2R. The reason for locking the account is to stop over trading and keep tighter restraints on picking the best entry.

Despite a down market or even down crypto currency down market, I am proving to myself there is lots of opportunity to watch certain coins. They perform well on Binance but you would need to track whipsaws to protect your downside risk.

This video explains my view on how this strategy may change as I have this new real time minute by minute chart capability to closely study certain crypto currency pairs of interest

Why muddle to learn the Interactive Bokers API with Python

(Last Updated On: December 10, 2018)

 

YES! Why muddle with this API stuff? Some may need structure in order to save time! You can waste loads of time trying to set this up! I explain a typical scenario in this 4 minute video of newbies struggling with this stuff.

The scenario is

Hey Bryan I have the api downloaded and am trying to get basic order execution going – I was wondering if you have any basic code that connects to interactive brokers (do you connect to TWS or through gateway?) and places basic orders.  When I look at this stuff it is all greek to me but I am trying to muddle through it.

I mentioned about this course you can learn quite quickly with

I like these questions especially from those of different backgrounds. It just shows it not just finance or well off individuals who do this stuff. I am hoping folks are really questioning how to secure their future. This algo trading with Python 3 is definitely one way. This upcoming recession is going to get very ugly. We have not even addressed the future of in how robotos/automation will affect your career.

Here are the questions

Very awesome stuff, I have to admit im little overwhelmed with all the info but am making a bit of sense of it. I am super interested in the python 3 course, ive looked over ccxt and am still not a big coder, I drive construction semi trucks. 

Although I did see a past webinar you did in august for converting mt4 to python and am wondering if you have saved video or any info you could point me to about that.

Im coming up with a game plan to afford the py3 course, how long will this be available?

Thanks again
