@@AbbeyRoad69147 Yes my personal strategies are are all algorithmic and quantitative based along with a bit of value investing. I hav e adjusted it in such a way that it suits my risk profile. As of today YTD my return is 23% . At one point it went all the way up to 77%. But none of these current performance really matters and I couldn't care less. What really matters is if i can beat the S&P 500 buy and hold average cagr of 10% in the entirety of my investing career.
i am not through the whole video yet, but an important thing to have mentioned would have been, that the on_data method is only updated based on the resolution, for example DAILY. in order for most algos to work properly, a much more finer resolution is needed. maybe you mention it later in the video, but i just wanted to point that out.
Thank you for all your help. By the way it is possible to create a strategy that buys in the support? It is not easy to define it. Thanks for all. I am a student of you. Thanks!
If you can define the support like previous highest high or lowest low of x periods then its possible. Will have to place a limit order as well. But it will tricky as the limit order might not be filled
I can, but its just impossible for retail traders to execute. The co-location advantage that HFT firms alone is a significant advantage. Its not really the strategy anymore , its now become the competition of speed of execution
QC has multiple third-party broker integration. Just login and run the algo, as simple as that. Execution and backtesting code are almost the same in QC. However Amibroker is superb in research capabilities. Forward testing and Monte Carlo simulation and third party quality data inputs are available in Amibroker as compared to QC
Sir, challenge 1,2,3 and 4. Completed. Rsi strategy apply in TradingView and in quantconnect for same period, daily timeframe , 100000 investment dollar. Both have different no of close trade and returns also. Please help. Which should consider.
The results of tradingview and quantconnect or any other platforms will always be different because they all have different data sources. It will be similar but not exact to to the dot
Haven't heard of Strategyquant until this comment. Going through the strategyquant website, seems like its just a backtesting software with no live trading capabilities or integration with famous brokers for execution
I doubt it will work. I dont understand how the platforms themselves will support integrating two different platforms. Youll have to talk to Quantconnect and Metatrader to know this@@Cavz001
Is it possible for you to share your performance in real life? Also, it looks like that Rentec comes up with new strategies all the time as the market is evolving, how do you suggest we come up with new strategies for ourselves since s probably many of your followers don’t necessarily have phD in STEAM? Thanks
Hi Minh, I had shared my performance last Feb in a video I did. At that point it was 24% for YTD. Today its 60% something, at the highest point this year it was 70%+. I'll share the same in the the next video. But none of this matters and I don't pay much attention to it either. I wont be surprised if I loose half of that in the next few months either even though my Monte Carlo tests are in my favor. Or have a bad year next year. Its not the real time performance that matters as the sample size is very small. What matters is if i can beat the buy and hold of average S&P500 CAGR of 10% annually with max drawdown of 55%. If i can beat this on average in the next 10 years or so, then I have succeeded in my efforts. This is what not just me but all hedge funds are aiming for. As far as strategies go , theres no need to keep on changing strategies. New retail quant traders make a mistake of just focussing on 1 strategy and thats the biggest mistake. Markets keep on changing but that does you should change your strategy. Its just that the strategy doesn't work for that specific environment. For volatile, choppy or downtrending markets, mean reverting strategies tend to work. In the rest of the time trend following and momentum strategies work. You should have a portfolio of strategies that includes all of these that are applied to multiple stocks, and index etf if you really what to find an edge. In this way regardless of market situation you can profit with these strategies. We also need to make sure the strategies are gone through ruthless test to trust its efficacy, we achieve that by performing forward testing, optimization and monte carlo simulation. Along with portfolio backtest with position sizing. Its a long process but regardless of your background, if you enjoy the process of this work then results will eventually follow
@nooneknown-rk2qg Intensive mentoring? Do you mean one on one mentorship program? No we don not do that. Its purely a course with videos and codes. If you have doubts and clarification with regards to course you can contact us.
I dotn think ill be making a video on zipline unless theres lots of demand. With integration of many international brokers, i think quantconnect is the best
Is that true. I haven’t seen any updates and the codes work perfectly well. Can you please guide me to where you saw the underscore. For user based inputs you can put whatever name you want. Including names with underscore
@@quantprogram it was the little auto suggester, where you are typing and it suggests with lower case and spaced, so weird, I just ignored the suggestions. really love your content, thank you
@@quantprogram Quantconnect moved to PEP8 style but the old style is still good to use. I'll try to adapt to PEP8 I guess but it makes the following of the guide harder

what abou spread? did you guys calculate them too?
Does quantconnect have historical option data (1 min, 5 min, etc.) that can be used for back testing?
Yes
1:00:50 I hear a bit of a Dublin brogue coming through there

No you cant. They are different languages
@@quantprogram I know MetaTrader uses MQL5 but they have an API for direct Python integration. Would that be possible in this case?

Hey @Cavz001 did you find a good way to do this in the end?
Does this work with bitcoin ?
Yes it does allow you to backtest bitcoin. Quantconnect also has integration with crypto brokers if you wish to algotrade them live.
How did it go on Bitcoin?
