new favorite channel

[@CriticalTrading]

Thanks buddy!

[@Tabu11211]

Okay this is my first video I'm watching from you and already your way ahead of anybody else. The bar was already pretty high in my opinion too so it's not like the other channels are slouching.

[@jeramykennedy6813]

Still using this in my trading, haven't really had time for youtube, catching up on your videos. happy to see your subscribers growing! keep it up

[@markgamache6377]

It might be helpful to plot against SPX to see the relative results vs holding. Or use Forex

[@devrimboga8584]

Wow i will consider this strategy to. Thanks to you now i can thinking with diffrent perspective.

[@kevinm2054]

A small suggestion: Most of the viewers are smartphone users. So the final figures used for comparing strategies ( annual profit, max drawdown etc) are very difficult to see on a smartphone screen, since their font size is small. So can you please show the key figures in a bigger font size? That will be really helpfull

[@CriticalTrading]

Thanks, didn't think about that

[@MrDerbit]

i think watching this kind of videos on smartphones is not very effective. I woudn't trade/analyse on a smartphone.

[@Jon_Dang]

Great video, nice production value

[@75hilmar]

This is a very good channel.

[@neils8443]

Thanks for the awesome info.. very helpful!

[@CarlosWashingtonMercado]

Good material. Entertaining and educative.

[@riccardoronco627]

the exit.... is it based on not being any longer on the top 10 stocks based by ranking or is it based on a 5 consecutive highs below the lower channel. It is not clear.

[@jpdrsn33]

When you show the equity curve, is it possible to change the Y axis to have consistent intervals instead of that semi logarithmic scale? It is hard to see how big the drawdown actually was from 200k to 130k.

[@snooker9773]

I'm afraid Log scale is better for visualizing the magnitude of drawdown.

[@nicholaszivkovic1312]

The log scale is better for showing the relative growth over time and that is why it is used. He shows the percentage scale chart for the drawdown specifically later in the video.

[@jmshorts3836]

Thank you for this video

[@Davidphan74]

Which strategy will suit trend following best? The MA channel strategy or the 20pctFlipper strategy?

[@NasdaqInvestors]

Hi there, excellent video. It is very important to show trading statistics as you do, when sharing a strategy. I have one question: I normally use MT4, can you please confirm where do you find the data of your symbols? Are these available already by the software?

[@CriticalTrading]

Thanks! Do you mean the stock data? I use Norgate data which is paid but you can get free data from yahoo for instance although not sure how it works with MT4 as I don't use it

[@michaelmcl2511]

Hi... on the moving average channels strategy, where is the take profit taken?

[@gosupersheep2006]

Hi! This is interesting, thanks. I'm new to researching algorithmic trading, and came across the golden cross without knowing its name! How do you get your data and do your backtest? Is this in an online platform, or do you do it locally?

[@CriticalTrading]

Hi, I use premium Norgate data but you can source low quality data for free using yFinance

[@iameladlevi]

Did you consider try this in intraday as well? Great idea and thanks a lot for sharing!

[@CriticalTrading]

I didn't test it in intraday form but could be interesting, although I would start at 10 min timeframes as a minimum

[@brightdesk3804]

Hi there, can you give us us30 day trading strategy. Thanks

[@jaymoneytrader]

I find that 5 bars above and buying on the 6 you miss a considerable amount of the trade, in the stocks im looking at 3 over, and the entry in the 4th bar give ma better chunk of the move if there is going to be one. and three bars down give me a good exit

[@CriticalTrading]

Hey Jeramy, yes you can use different lengths, I tried 3 as well I think and the results are quite stable

[@Starius2]

How-do-you-do these backtests. Like what do I need to do to set up these to test my strategies

[@mknayak9386]

Super informative. Good job.

[@CriticalTrading]

Thanks mate, appreciate that

[@yoavshaharabani9096]

Great video! How do you interact with interactive brokers? python?

[@CriticalTrading]

Yes, ib insync

[@giglehart]

Truthfully, no idea where you got the indicators. I am lost. What is the yellow line vrs the blue line.

[@waterwise77]

Is the moving average channel available ? On popular trading platforms

[@CriticalTrading]

I'm not sure as I don't use them, but I would assume you can play around to set it up

[@casualtake1497]

What's the best time frame with this for day trading or swing ?

[@CriticalTrading]

Daily for swing trading (as tested), intra day wouldn't go lower than 10-mins

[@casualtake1497]

@@CriticalTrading do you have another modded indicator that can be used manually?

[@nicolaspilot]

How do you do these backtests?

[@CriticalTrading]

I use software called amibroker that's not very well known but has some great functionalities

[@nicolaspilot]

@@CriticalTrading I’ll check it out, thanks 🙏🏻

You are going too fast. Need to slow down

[@pedroewert143]

I think KZbin should consider a pause button, the option to rewind or the option to play a video at slower speed, then this youtube could really be popular.
