Very succesful in calling and catching bottoms (knives). Need some help in coding.

RJ

posted Nov 26, 2018

Hello everybody,

I have been working and creating my own custom TA through TOS. I have become very successful in predicting, calling, and catching "bottoms" or knives. This has allowed me to catch penny pumps of 20,50,100,500,1000,2000% (DCTH, HMNY). But not just pennies. It works on most timeframes (15M, 1H, 4H, 1D,3D,W,M) and for just about any type of stocks. I normally use my custom TA to swing trade but also some day trading as well.

I would like some help in coding bits and pieces of it to test in Quantopian to find out which lengths of different studies work best together.

For a simple example. I want to use the SMI to compare at different lengths to determine if a certain length performs slightly better than any other. As of right now I have been mostly doing it by myself, by eye, and simple charting through TOS.

I am hoping to possibly find a partner who would like to help me work on this and if as successful as I believe it can be make some serious money as well!

Thanks,

Ryan

Has always eluded me, our eye can spot interesting moves instantly yet so hard to capture in code.
