I've been generating positive months - that's with my additional experience as a trader. The automated backtest showed very good performance, but I find using the tool with my experience I get best results live. A model AUC of 0.6 is reasonably good, I will weight trades with a high AUC say 0.7...

Hello I'm an active forex trader that heavily uses quantitative analysis and machine leaning models to make trading decisions from economic news data. I spend a lot of time researching new quantitative techniques some of which I have decided to share on a new economic news website that offers...

I certainly don't believe just throwing a lot of uniformed traders at the problem will necessarily improve prediction. However they can provide other useful information such as support and resistance levels which the computer can use to trade range bound strategies and so on. I've backtested...

You can backtest variations of grid and martingale where support and resistance have been added by human (so stop when the series hits support or resistance). There are plenty of automated strategies that you would never use as they would eventually destroy your account. But it might be possible...

Thanks for your feedback, I agree, but as you point out the vast majority of individuals 90%+ would not provide any useful information regarding market direction. Maybe only 10% can read the news and have some genuine incites into the market. If so the other 90% (representing a large sample)...

What if everyone read economic news surrounding a currency and made a judgement about the future exchange rate movement of a currency pair. If a large number of individuals did this and updated their market sentiment (their next believed price level the series will reach), would this not form an...

One way to look at financial markets is in terms of voting, more buyers, market goes up, more sellers market goes down. Do you think by asking a large number of traders if they would buy or sell an asset at its current price would be a way to approximate global market sentiment? What if you...

With regard to investor risk, would you be willing to trade someone else's money, if they insisted you trade through a broker that enforced stops and limits as soon as you opened a position. For instance enforce a limit to stop with a ratio of say 1.5:1. Would this impact your trading ability...

Hi, here's an interesting concept, would you trade someone else's money if they gave it to you? What if this was done as part of a group of traders and you were given a small percentage of the fund to trade and you got to keep a percentage of the profits? Would you be willing to pay a small...

Would you trade a Martingale, do you think you could be successful using your existing strategy? Martingale in this case doesn't refer to the strategy where you increase the size of the order to make up losses. I'm referring to the case where your create a stop that is the same size as your...

No sorry, we're US based (need to change the country). But need to look into any regulatory requirements. Thanks for the information, we're still in the phase of just trying to get feedback from people, but we shouldn't neglect any regulatory requirements thanks!

Thank you Stargunner for your great feedback. I completely agree with what you're saying. We would only be allowed to ask for a small deposit say $100, to access the service. However the only reason we incorporated the investment element was to give people some financial incentive to fill out...

Hi malaguti, thanks for your feedback, its difficult to guess how people will respond to a concept without feedback, but I can definitely see your point (it is intended as a genuine service). The only other idea we had was to try and promote services and products from small companies...

Hey, we're just a small group of investors that are trying an long term investment idea to look at consumer spending data in relation to companies that are currently under or overvalued. We've created a site www.tradingfundamentals.com and a video to explain what we're trying to do. W're just...
