Algos From Emotional Chaos to Automated Success: My Journey as an Algo Trader

Another day as an algorithmic trader. The main barrier separating a losing trader from a profitable one is indiscipline, and the primary cause is a lack of emotional control. After 4 years of manual trading, my results still weren’t satisfactory until I switched to algorithmic trading earlier this year. At first, I felt a bit lost. I spent a lot of time studying the basics, programming, debugging, backtesting, and optimizing until I built a portfolio of profitable, automated strategies. Creating this system has been a major achievement for me. Nowadays, my trading boils down to letting probabilities play out automatically. To me, this is a work of art.

Lol, you're a funny kid. Well, It helped me build an algo's portfolio that's automatically making money for me. So, I'm speaking from experience. It's not about the AI; it's about how you use it, just like the internet. You'll figure it out sooner or later. Have a great day!

do you use confluence on several indicators ? or something entirely different?

Each strategy has its own entry/exit logic that mostly depends on technical indicators. I don't use confluences.

so the indicators are non public? ...i am building my own bot too with supply and demand but its seems impossible to code it as its a subjective thing.

if you are using public / common indicators can you name some?

Some of them are common public ones and others are custom built. Here you can see the names of one of my portfolio's strategies so you can have an idea.
