My 5 Favorite Algo Trading Strategy Entries

[@sidsharma1823]

You might be the only one over youtube who is teaching some practical trading strategies, and you also might be the only one who shows his backtest result and then again also ask viewers to backtest on their own for different scripts 👌

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

Thanks for the kind words. The way to get confidence in your trading is by testing yourself. Most people cannot do that!

[@ElvinKennedyLatayan]

Thanks , Kevin! I've been binge watching your videos. Greetings from the Philippines :)

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mattorrock4844]

Thanks! These ideas are pure gold. I actually use an entry script very similar to the first example, but using the closing price of current bar , relative to closing price of bar y bars back. Using the candle's range relative to the average range for y bars back is a great idea!

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

Thanks!

Hi Kevin and thanks again for the video and that you always answer all questions people have. I am at a point of your book, where a thought came to mind: What if I apply one system multiple times to the market, to trade the same scenario on multiple different live accounts. Would the market makers manipulate my edge if I do that or is it ok ... and if it's ok, then how many times should I let the algo run the same time all at once? Thanks so much and all the best to you!

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

It depends how much size you trade. For most markets, for most retail traders, it is not a big concern.

Whats the code for a simple buy and hold strategy for tradestation? Need that to compare to any other strategies

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

buy next bar at market; if lastbaronchart then sell this bar at close;

[@whatsgoingon1239]

very great information thank you for taking the time to make this content! i have quick question would any of this work in forex market?

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

They would have to be tested for forex markets, possibly adjusted, but they might. Worth testing, for sure.

I'm going to test entry #2 in forex

[@MattLande]

Hi Kevin. In a given day do you ever use multiple of the same algo on the same instrument but on different timeframes? If so, do you consider that to be part of good diversification? Thanks

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

I will normally test an algo on different timeframes (bar sizes). If it is good on multiple bar sizes, I will then look to see what the correlation of the performances look like. If there is enough diversification there, then yes I might trade both.

[@MattLande]

Thank you for that. Good to know.@@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey

[@MattLande]

When you say "bar size" are you talking about range bars or something else? Thanks@@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

@@MattLande like 1 minute bars, 5 minute bars, daily bars, etc.

[@shubhamjain6996]

Have you thought deploying price inefficiency strategies? I believe in a developed market you might not find too many inefficiencies as they would be scalped by big banks. In EMs like India there are many. If you want we can connect and take this conversation bit forward. P.S. I am a CPA and an aspiring CFA working with S&P Global.

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

If you are talking arbitrage, then you are probably right - so many people are already doing it, there is not much money in it. Thanks for the comment!

HI Kevin, thanks so much for this great presentation! I think I picked up a few ideas and will test them. As you mentioned in the video there was a presentation of slides. Is it still possible to download it anywhere on the website? Thank you!

[@elliotnyberg9332]

Hi Kevin, great video. Could you briefly explain more about the diversity you mentioned about 14 minutes in? By diversity, do you mean diffrent strategies on for example diffrent timeframes, stocks? Is this better, more encouraged in your opinion rather than having just one strategy? Thank you :)

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

Hi Eliot - Thanks for the question. You can diversify in many ways - different strategies, different timeframes, different stocks or futures (what I trade), different sectors, etc. The key is the performance of the strategies should not be too correlated. That way, the strategies tend to work together to smooth the overall equity curve. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the comment. Good idea!

[@MrSimonw58]

I can't get a single one of these to work. Even with opposite entries. One year they're up the next year they're down. Really random. Oil, gold, sp500, forex, daily , 4 hour , 1 hour .... I'd appreciate it if anyone could let me know the instrument + time frame they work on? Thanks so much

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

Thanks for the comment. #1 was Soybeans, #2 was Nat Gas and #3 was mini S&P. Note that you'll want to try various exits, as that makes a big difference. Good Luck!

No, sorry that is not me.

Do you reccomend forex trading on mondays

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

I've never tested with and without Mondays. That is what you should try, and let the results guide you.

[@drewmartinez4453]

Great info ! What timeframe are these run on though ? And how far back do you consider a solid backtest ?

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

These were various timeframes, and I like to have a 10 year or longer backtest.

So do you have any specific exit strategies in these entry ideas or simply be in the trade until it goes the other way?

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

these just had simple exits for testing purposes, to try to isolate the entry effect.

If you can make money on the market, why would you wast time teaching others ??? THese people are all SCAM artists

[@AlgoTradingWithKevinDavey]

Sorry if you've been scammed by others, that is not me. I trade, but also teach. Why? People are willing to pay me for my advice, and I have the capacity/time to do it. So why not? It is a low risk trade.

[@ratillat]

Sorry for my english! When you did go to school, why didnt ask your teacher, why teaching you?
