No more gambling, dart throws! Winning, proven algo.

posted Mar 13, 2014

Hello, I'm 51yo, been in and active in the stock market at 22yo. Have been wiped out many times, with a few long years streak.

It's luck I know. At my age, I'm behind the 8 ball. Im looking to reverse the table, from a stacked house deck vs retailers like us.

I've been guided to this site. I watched the tutorials, etc..and won't let the hurdle of writing a winning algo stop me.

I know this is out on a limb. I am certain there are some talent here with winning algos.

Please PM me, if you can guide me or help.

Thank-you!

Paolo.

Hello Paolo,

I suggest having a look at the more recent blog posts: http://blog.quantopian.com/. There is a good overview of the various types of algorithms that have been posted on Quantopian (and you can clone any algorithm posted to the forum, run and edit it).

Thanks, I see there are about 20 active IB accounts trading live...

Any idea of their results thus far?

Is the R n D or marketing department here , doing an anonymous results to date with the up and running folk with algos.

Thank-you!

From the Quantopian blog:

"I’d like to share two of the key metrics we are starting to track for live trading:

          80 – Number of Quantopians who have connected their brokerage account.

          20 – Number of live (IB-backed) algorithms running today.

I’m delighted to report the first real dollars directed by Quantopian-hosted algorithms. Making the leap from simulation to real trading is a huge deal. I’m incredibly grateful that our beta group has trusted us with their capital. I’d like to congratulate each pilot trader who has launched a real-money algo and claimed their free lifetime subscription so far — the rest of you have until March 31st to join that club."
