So I need intraday bars (Eg 1 hour) data for eg UK Ftse, DAX, S&P. I have tried a few APIs but struggling getting intraday data. Esignal doesn't offer anymore and the company they now recommend doesn't do intraday. Any thoughts anyone on a solution? So ideally, i just input a date range and it...

I am free for a drink in the City on Saturday 31st August if anyone is around. Don't mind on exact location. Perhaps Wetherspoons Liverpool Street is a good option? Or if easier, Waterloo

I am free during weekends only unfortunately. (Unless its school holidays).

Personally, Saturday 24th as I work late weekdays. However, gotta go with the consensus so whatever it shakes out as is fine. If I am there, I am there!

Yes I want to test further. All of my other systems I have tested back 20-30 years. However, I am having problems coding this strategy into Pine as it's quite complicated to code. Easy to follow and trade but harder to code. Still trying to debug coding but in the meantime, will paper test

I have many strategies but find it hard to always stick to them. Most have positive expectancy. Others I am testing still. I was working on a strategy recently 2 hour bars for DAX. 1200 pts per month average in backtesting 17 months. 600 trades or so. So I thought good backtesting in differing...

I am fine this Saturday. Usual caveat. I can be in the city by about 1pm

I work in the morning so might be able to do 1pm but not 12pm.

Thank you for arranging this Sharky. At the moment, either date works fine. Just a note though that King Charles will not be able to attend on 6th as he will be getting ready to eat his Coronation Chicken :)

This would be fantastic to have Sharky. You are an absolute legend! Will be great to see you there and thank you again for this. (y)

Yep this is true. Certainly immense hours of practise are required. I wouldn't even call it pain-staking. Its actually "rewarding" to find strategies that do not work. This is because it "saves you money" trading blind as it were. I love backtesting and happy to share/discuss the various...

You need to pick your timeframe first of all. This has to fit in with your lifestyle. No point trading 5min if you have a 9-5. Then you have to have a strategy/strategies to trade that timeframe. Then you have to backtest it and ensure you test the strategy under different market conditions over...

Sure. I will PM you and happy to meet up for a beer. The show was good. I always find these shows great for a number of reasons: > It highlights how most "sales" firms out there "cherry pick" a good period to show their trading system (sarcastic comment there). I always stay away from these...

Its kinda hit and miss. Just an opportunity to chat to other traders I think and sometimes, some of the speeches give a bit of insirpiration and food for thought.

If anyone is off to the Traders show in 3 weeks time, just drop me a note.
