The Most Realistic Automated Trading Analysis Using Python

[@MartinPleasant-ty1rw]

I’m now going to watch all of your videos. I’ve just came across your channel and your videos… they are amazing. I’m just starting my journey in algorithmic trading/ learning python and you are the best most straightforward channel on KZbin in this area. These tutorials and guides you are sharing are so informative please keep doing your thing, there is so much value to the information you are sharing and it gives me hope that I can learn these things. Thank you so much. You’re the Best!

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Welcome aboard! I hope you will enjoy coding as much as I do.

[@christophermatthews4896]

Great to finally see some results! i love the usage of statistical analysis for tests. i also like the concept of retraining the bot every Sunday, thats a concept i haven’t seen put into practice yet. great video!!!

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the support, I deployed the updated version already, just need to wait, I will also be re-verifying the code for some bugs, it might happen!

[@christophermatthews4896]

Can’t wait to see the updates!!

[@DavidRoyPennCollazos]

​@@CodeTradingCafe When's the video??

[@muhireinnocent2371]

I deployed a similar bot on aws and its almost blowing up my demo account. Thanks for your content though i have learnt alot from your algo trading tutorials.

[@muhireinnocent2371]

however i have found that if you use Bollinger bands ,rsi and stochastic indicator on 1h chart we can get nice price reversal movement positions and with high return on investment, low maximum drawn down and higher win rate. but the trades are limited, i have tried to increase the number of trades by looping through many currency pairs

[@CodeTradingCafe]

I am still skeptical the difference between backtesting, forward testing and live exceeded my expectations I am suspecting a small bug somewhere... will have to re-verify.

[@derhut6560]

Thanks for sharing. Did you run the backtest script over this live-trading month for comparison? Might be interesting to identify analyze differences to the life account, maybe also finding errors in the implementation or backtesting?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

I haven't ... I should, maybe I will check it out this week, but it's a great idea to compare live results with backtesting results over the same period. Will keep us posted.

@CodeTrading when i run import pandas as pd df = pd.read_csv("transactions.csv") it shows this error : ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[4], line 1 ----> 1 import pandas as pd 3 df = pd.read_csv("transactions.csv") ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas' what is wrong?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Seems that you don't have pandas installed, try in the notebook the following command !pip install pandas

Hi, saw your other comment, helpful thank you!

[@davidzamora212]

when building a NN, how do you select the perfect hyperparameters (layers and units per layer) without overfitting?

[@lucastorres394]

Do not use NN

[@CodeTradingCafe]

It's a long technical answer, but the short one is NN don't really work this way for trading.

[@davidzamora212]

why?@@lucastorres394

[@preetipics]

would really love to see the automated optimisation process and ideally code when done please?!

[@CodeTradingCafe]

It's deployed already I just need to make a video.

[@preetipics]

@@CodeTradingCafe amazing, look forward to it for sure

[@Djamonon]

Loving this series! I've learned a lot from it! I've been trying to optimize this strategy myself and I have noticed that perhaps the problem lies in not accounting for commission during the backtest. Just adding commission changes the results a lot. I assume that backtesting without commission favors strategies that involve a very high number of trades (such as this one). I would love to see you backtesting this strategy while considering commission and spread. Thanks!

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, thanks I agree, I usually discard commissions to test the indicator effect, later if results are good I add commissions but Trade management has to be up to the level. Will test with commissions but must increase timeframe.

[@OsirisHorscow]

@@CodeTradingCafe Do you have any update on this tested with commissions ? For Oanda Core pricing (what I believe you use here on the demo account) do you put in the total 0.0001 for the backtesting commission value or do you put in the 0.00005 that is per trade order?

[@genadygolovkin5382]

Hi. thank you for the work that you do. Is there any way that you could test Smoothed Heiken Ashi indicator on different time frames ?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, I understand the idea, but I never got good results with Heiken Ashi, I don't even know how anyone is making money using these (out of curiosity), the way they are computed they add lag and twisted/smoothed prices.

[@m.agussantoso]

Is there any update on this?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

I checked yesterday, sorry to disappoint, … it has been an honor trading with you :) Joking aside it's failing when the market is not trending, even with the updates, I will make another video anyway to show I did the updates.

[@DarmendrenRavindran]

Hi, if possible can you guide how to deploy the code in was server

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes for now I am using AWS services.

[@PERRY135824]

Thanks for sharing. I believe you should also try backtesting your strategy using the same period as shown in your video. I highly suspect that it's a slippage problem or something related to the execution part, rather than an issue with the time frame as you mentioned. I have traded with this kind of CFD brokerage before and found that the performance of my strategy varied between different brokerages.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes, this was proposed yesterday as well, I think we need to verify this.

[@greatestNothin]

[@Newbie-dv9gc]

If you change signals.(for example,sell to buy and buy to sell.)This strategy is promising 😂😂😂

[@mominshaikh4084]

😅

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Lol 😅, actually it doesn't work either, but ... you reminded of an idea I tried some time ago, use the Bollinger Bands a bit wider to detect a change or break of the trend, it has good results on EURUSD even with spread fees. It does work the opposite way though because it's detecting reversals instead of trading with the trend, same indicators but completely different strategy.

[@nuweariho6884]

I came to realize most indicators confirm to you when the trend is completed so when you enter on a sell its actually a buy😂. I dont know the effect if aglo trading is limited to cetain hours of the day to avoid those false signals which may increase the profitability.

[@a-m-vclips9653]

I actually did the same for my live demo bot(with this strategy) it worked pretty well, but in long term I just keep losing because of commission fees and tight stoploss

[@nuweariho6884]

@@a-m-vclips9653 undoubtebly the commisions will fail you. Probably design a trading strategy that fails extremely well such that you trade the opposite

[@HisagEhis]

thanks great content how can i automate my trading system

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi check my latest videos about this strategy for automation.

[@sohailtangeet8068]

great vid! can you do a video explaining why you buy 3000 units? and if possible, explain how to calculate this figure. thanks!

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, in forex standard lot is 100 000 units so 3000 is like 0.03 on metatrader, no particular reason for choosing this sum, I just wanted to be consistent for comparison and kept using 3000, I will make a video on different lot sizing methods.

[@sohailtangeet8068]

ty. very excited!

[@khatericamata8942]

Good day Sir, your KZbin video is impressive and great! May I ask if I can edit the strategies? And also, to use any API Trading Platforms and to test Crypto? Can it be used as paper trading? Thank you so much Sir.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes absolutely, you just need to know your way around Python, check this video for live trading kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIvLpamse9JkbaM

Hello, do you have a patreon page?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, no patreon sorry, just these videos for now :) thanks a lot for your support.

[@stanverhoeven5794]

Hey! Interesting video, thanks for that. One addition or consideration that I am interested in: if you take the month of price data and runned it against your backtest. Would your simulated results be really close to your actual results? This to prevent that you are overlooking things not considered in the backtest (e.g. Fill price, exits and so on). Thanks! Stan

[@stanverhoeven5794]

Ah sorry… i just saw someone else already had the same suggestion as well👍🏼

[@CodeTradingCafe]

No problem, I think it's very important suggestion, I will put it on the priorities list, I am also suspecting an edge case bug in the live version (last candle might be skipped and we are maybe using the candle before it... I need to verify this as well). Thank you for your comment, I will keep us posted.

[@przybjul]

Hello, I advise you to compare those trades with backtests results, and focus on comparing open trades time - this is the key for success, I checked your code with backtest and in my opinion you have a 1hour leak. Maybe the good idea would be to create your own backtest code instead of using library? Its helpful to be able to know details of every trade - with your own backtest algorithm you can control it

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, thank you, can you point me out to the "leak" so I can verify on my end. I just need to avoid building a whole library from scratch.

[@adwarrior]

Great stuff. What period will the automated optimisation be run over Zian? The previous weeks data?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

For now it fits on the last 3 weeks, I might increase to 4 weeks, see how it works.

Thank you for your kind support! It's going to take some time for this, I haven't even planned the curriculum yet.

[@BoHorror]

Try longer time frames, where maybe you could capitalize on the trend so the hourly and the 4 hourly, okay I maybe be spitballing here but it could be worth trying

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Actually you are absolutely right, higher timeframes are much easier to auto trade, somehow this channel dragged me down to lower timeframes and new experiments, my preference though is the daily tf.

[@poisonza]

If you keep adding more constraints to improve it, isn't there a risk of overfitting? Good luck 😅

[@CodeTradingCafe]

It depends, in this case note really, because we are not fitting the indicators, so we can't really overfit from this perspective, we are just fitting the trade management part: the SL and TP, the rest remains the same. Anyway, the only mod I might add is simply the dynamic fitting every week, it's still reasonable in my opinion.

[@jasonreviews]

it's just coin flip. Just make random small trades everyday. it's literally too random.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes and no, the backtest doesn't show positive results for random tossing but it does for this indicator, and it's clear that extreme values detected outside of BB indicate a price bouncing and converging to the center of the band, makes sense. But there is still a detail messing up the trades, and it would be great to find it... and correct it.
