Anyone have their own bot?

Something that will follow my rules and send signals to an Australian retail broker.

Will consider paying for someone to develop one if they have done it already for themselves or another client.
Thanks.

I have one of these...



I think Ninja Trader can do custom scripts and works with IB.

Otherwise there's always MT4/MT5 but they are mostly CFDs in FX/indices.

Thanks skc.

I need something that can query certain websites for info, collate that with my own data, then make the buy/sell decision.

If anyone knows of someone pls PM me.

Yes quite a few for FX ,but for more info it would be better to have more details......

What do you want to trade?
What time frame?
How complex are the conditions?
As with most things almost everything is possible budget being the limiting factor.
P.M me I can give you a few contacts

Lastly Ninja Trader is crap for Automated Trading IMO (there are many better alternatives)

What do you think something like this would set you back!
More to the point what's your budget.
I reckon it would be around $50 k for starters.
And there is no guarantee your idea once programmed
Will be profitable.

Not as easy as ---- idea ------- programme it-----make profit

Wasting your time with retail brokerage. ASX stocks are not the instrument for rapid trading. Futs & Fx.

Then of course your competing against super computers and rocket scientist and unlimited $'s. Not to mention that I doubt you'll ever find an edge? You will be competting against arb bots...... forgetaboutit!

Where would your edge come from?

 

[Smack]

I have a lot to learn before i hit FX/Futures. I don't really want to be in that space atm - very heavily manipulated.

Sure there are super computers on the markets trading huge dollars.

I don't compete against these or the big market makers.

Instead I climb aboard their backs (like sucker fish on whales and sharks), and simply nibble the crumbs that come my way.

Yes, my edge is and always has been to glide with the market makers - not against them...

I don't need big range to make my money - I trade volume with minimal range before the movers make their claim...

I also minimise my footprint wherever I trade, mostly trade at market so I cannot be bullied out of the market by automated trading...

With all due respect,

What a load of rubbish.

But good luck mate. Personally I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about from your recent postings but would love to see stats on 20 - 50 trades.

Pretty sure we would see how clueless the idea is.

But carry on.

Let me guess mate you have seen an outlier move on Friday. You have got the calculator out and are ready to extrapolate that all the way to your first 50 mil.

My guess is you couldn't show 20 trades even backtested that show a profit from moves like FMG had yesterday.

With that BHP trade you did on Friday close whats your target and whats your stop as an example?

Hi Trembling Hand.

I have been trading for quite a while now, and I am comfortable in what I do and I know why I have been very successful very consistently on previous trades.

You have stated that I don't have a clue what I am talking about, so why should I show you any of my stats from previous trades or what my target for my next BHP trade is? Anything I state will be incorrect in your view.

Carry on.

Well its just some of your questions would lead anyone to think you have very little understanding. I mean you couldn't even find a futures contract you were desperately looking for. And you did state that you have just started trading.

I don't see whats the big deal with stating you target and stop as your were more than happy to tell us you bought 150K worth. Kinda backs up my thinking you probably have no idea how to manage the trade. Do you know your expectancy?

I wasn't really after a bot, but a simple way to trade automatically.

I didn't want to use AB with IB, because it looked far too tricky to set up, and even then the AB guys reckon you should be watching the screen just incase it makes an error. Sort of defeats the purpose.

I think it may be possible using a Excel macro with a WebIress feed. After about a week of searching and emailing, there was one guy in Melbourne who offered to help and was confident he could do what I wanted, but his initial charge was $5k. Somewhere along the line I lost interest but can't remember the reason. I think the system I wanted to use may have fallen apart once slippage was included. It was an intraday system.

If you want the guy's email I can probably dig it up.
