As an analyst, we're always buy stock after looking at macro economy, financial release on fundamental side, then we see technical analysis like MACD RSI Bollinger Bands Fibonacci etc (plenty more) which are commonly used to detect buy or sell momentum. When I see your headline video I thought you're build those. Still your idea by JUST to create automatic cut loss transaction algorithm is USEFUL, not bad. Many trader out there using that strategi when realizing they made wrong transaction in stocks.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi thank you for your comment, I understand trading from 2 points of view Fundamental and Technical, these are completely different. Fundamental trading relies on analysis but my take is that you never know WHEN the move will happen when using fundamentals, for example you know Gold will rise during major events (war Russia-Ukraine or US conflicts in the gulf) but you never know when and by how much. Technical school is different and as a Data Scientist I really enjoy the numerical analysis approach, sometimes statistics can reveal good hints.

[@aliandy.jf.nababan]

Man, on fundamental side what need to figure out leading ang lagging economy indicator and those my friend @CodeTrading are measureable with math and economy. My lack expertise are in coding, I'm aware javascript and macro but no experience on Phyton. If you're able to script algoritma for buy at bottom 20% of RSI and sell at top 80% signal, or by make automation buy or sell when MACD cross over signal happen, even combine those as like multiple priority Equity finding (kinda Machine learning), you are DEFINITELY THE MAN. Cheers bro.

[@mariomoheb]

Great work ! I need to ask .. after creating the bot do u need to be close to the computer and work with it or just initialize and leave ?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

You can initialize and leave it should be got automated, you can modify it to apply any strategy you want. But it is highly advisable to backtest any strategy before using it. Good luck!

[@lennard4454]

When opening a long position, Oanda will allow a tp / sl if it's above / below the ask price. When opening a short position, the tp / sl has to be below / above the bid price. In the code however, we used the bid price to calculate everything? With Bitcoin (there is quite a gap between ask / bid for BTC on Oanda) and using the scalping strategy from last video, it calculates invalid tp / sl, which Oanda won't allow.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes you are right we need to get the spread first and include its value in SL and TP calculations.

[@thinketh2408]

Hi what is best sl and tp strategy... Should I place sl on local swing high/low or should it be based on atr/percentage of price?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

My best answer is : "trader's job starts after the trade is opened", the reason I am saying this is to highlight the importance of managing you trade actively, SL and TP alone will not provide the best results, I am not saying will not provide winning trades but they will maximize your gains. That being said, I would use the local swing for the SL, and the TP depends on the SL with the TP/SL ratio. And don't forget that if the price moves in your favor you can close half the position and move the SL to break even for the other half that is still opened. I will be making a video about this very soon... it's time to tackle trade management. Good luck!

Hi, try interactive brokers or binance.

[@Ifeanyyii1]

@CodeTradingCafe please can you make video on how to use binance

[@viktormarkus7291]

If I'm right, your SLTP ratio is wrong. You doubled the SL and get a simple TP, but the code looks right, so I really don't understand this. Second, it looks like when your position opened, there is two bull cande before, so the buy signal conditions doesn't met. If this bot monitoring the last three candles and it includes the last bear candle, which get engulfed, how does it opened an order at that high? In that case the first candle which not closed never reached that price where the order opened.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, this is just an example so you can change the SL and TP to your liking. Regarding the position opening, when an engulfing candle generates a signal it has to close completely so the position is fulfilled on the next candle coming after.

Hi, thank you for your comment, can you be more specific? I am not sure I understood correctly.

[@homealone75]

Thanks! I did not catch if you monitor open orders and positions, otherwise you may have a pileup of both many times over.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

I don't at this point but the scheduler runs once every 15 min so it might happen, piling up open trades (not too many I guess). We can add a condition to avoid this. ... thank you for your support

[@apathyreview3964]

What's the point of the scheduler? Why not just check last three bars? When the markets are closed it will do nothing? Doesn't python lib have an OnBar event? IDK I'm a c# coder just asking. That's how my bots run in an OnTick and OnBar method in CTrader. So I have no idea.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

The way the code is built, it doesn't run on bar really, it will keep querying the data and testing for the same result all day long, the scheduler will limit this to once a day as needed.

[@kumarm6617]

Is it possible for stocks?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes as long as you have a strategy that works it can be translated into a code.

[@kumarm6617]

@@CodeTradingCafe for Indian stock, any source?

[@kekelidoe5202]

Let me get this .... I dont need a vps to keep the bot running ?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

No, just a laptop and a stable connection so you don't miss some signals. I deployed on a very small AWS compute (micro machine)

[@abdokarsous3521]

Nice and clean thanks man

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Any time! thank you for your support.

[@dfcastro]

The way the code is we have a risk return of 0.5. The candle grapho oanda shows the order and the take profit is half the length of stop loss. Not a good trade because you will have to succeed in 2 trades to zero the bad result of a stop loss. Also the idea of calculating the lot size is not present. If I decide that I wanna risk 3% of my actual account balance in a trade? This must be done dynamically before each trade.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi thank you for your input. You are right improvements can be applied, this was just an example to see how to connect with oanda from python.

[@Gustoking37]

Good video

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Thank you!

[@chibuikeanene5016]

Hey dude, love what you’re doing. I’m curious to know how long have you been live trading with this bot and how are the returns so far?. I am still a python beginner so If you can point me to the right resource to build my own algo then I’ll appreciate that. Thanks again💪🏽

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hey thank you for your support. Trading since 10 years, algorithms since 6 years, don't expect to be rich (8-12 percent yearly return) unless you put high numbers in there but will you risk it? (I don't like high risk not adrenaline rush lol so I kept it as a side hobby along with my job that is in a similar field). Edit: for programming check my python learning playlist

[@chibuikeanene5016]

I’m also a trader and I know the realities lol. 8-12% ROI is decent and hard to come by in any investment. Maybe you don’t need to risk your own capital, you could try trading with some prop firms that allow it. Thanks I’ll check out your playlist.

[@CaptainCsaba]

@@CodeTradingCafe Can I ask which strategies you use for this? I know you will not tell but I'll try anyway.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

@@CaptainCsaba it's something very similar to the strategies I show in here but the lot size is not fixed it's proportional to a set of rules and the TP/SL also (I change these myself when the trade is opened), so in brief take any good indicators from this channel it's already half the strategy the other half is lot size and trade management. This is how I do. And by the way many people think a winning strategy is a very complex one, my experience is exactly the opposite, simple strategies are more rewarding.

[@CaptainCsaba]

@@CodeTradingCafe That was very insightful, thank you very much!

[@galleon8129]

Thanks for this tutorial, can this be integrated to Forex trading platforms like FxPro?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

This one works on Oanda because I am using their API, but it can definitely be transformed for FxPro if they provide a Python API.

[@galleon8129]

@@CodeTradingCafe thanks so much, I will test it

[@moaminbj9588]

very good thanks

Thank you too!

[@jeffjudo4836]

Which platform did use to code python ?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Just python and API of Oanda, no specific platform

[@Exhibity]

Hello Sir Oanda is not supported in South Africa can you please use Exness broker

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, you can check documentation of any broker they usually provide a code example. It's just a small part that is needed for trading mainly querying candles and passing trades.

[@ahmed_sohaib]

Can i use this bot in crypto trading??

[@CodeTradingCafe]

This is not a full functional strategy, it's just an example showing how you can trade from python

[@lmmdle2025]

what environment do you use?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Mainly Python

[@harryowuor4851]

I want to use exness broker on this bot.which lines do I need to change to make it work?

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Most of the API related lines you have to check first with the broker if they support python trading

[@mrtumbi2974]

Can I use it in Indian stock market

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Yes but the strategy here is very simple you will need to complete it with additional rules.

I love this, bought your python udemy course to help me learn coding. Would love if you had a focused one about learning to create and implement a python bot. Do you know how to implement learning ai for trading? Feels like it would be great for this

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi thank you for your support. Learning AI you mean reinforcement learning, yes I have an idea on this I should start coding it soon, I will put it in a video here if it goes well (will require some time though).

@@CodeTradingCafe Not Because of Strategy just want to copy my trades from my one account to another two accounts so the time will save and I get accurate price Want to trade and I am doing scalping so small changes also matters.

@@CodeTradingCafe Thank you for reply sir

[@CodeTradingCafe]

I see your point, this can be written in python where the account is scanned every minute and the same trades are copied into another account, the functions and how this is written depends also on your broker's API.

[@leobike-1920]

thx bro, what is the good way to set scheduler for trading job, seconds or minutes for timeframe 1m,5m,15m for examples, thx.

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, it depends on the timeframe you are trading the scheduler is only there to launch your function.

[@leobike-1920]

@@CodeTradingCafe if i trade 15m, so the scheduler is basically 15m? It's better to set lower schedule fe 5m or 1m even seconds bro ? Thx for your reply

[@CodeTradingCafe]

Hi, yes it's better to sync with the timeframe as scheduling faster than the timeframe only adds unnecessary CPU and bandwidth work.

[@thepunter1]

Hi, I can't see the download link for the code. I can only seer the Jupyer link.
