Looking to Live Trade with an Algorithm -- Any Help is Appreciated

Hello,

I am looking to implement an algorithm into live trading with Interactive Brokers. I have tried creating strategies on my own to some success, but cannot seem to get returns better than some of the code posted in this community.

I am looking for someone to help walk me through how to turn an algo into live trading and to share code for a sustainable 'Live Trading' Algorithm.

  • Looking to throw $1000 into it and let it run for 20+ years, so should be conscious of risk, but I am willing to take as much as possible.
  • Leverage must be kept under 1

I attached code from a post from this community. The returns are incredible, but is it sustainable in a live trading environment?
- Leverage stays at 1 most of the time, except for a few spikes -- Is there a way to cap leverage?

New to Algo Trading and Appreciate the help.

Best,
Matt

Hey Matt, have you tested this algo in live trading, or have you found an algo that performs well live?
