This is fascinating, thanks for sharing. I'll have to check it out myself to see how it works, though I've also begun investigating the Pine Editor on TradingView as it seems to function similarly.

I see, thanks for letting me know. I'm ok with not having a good way to automatically trade, since the main purpose of this would be to confirm setups. Does Ninjatrader basically just come with the data, and you can write your own scripts on what setups you what to filter for, what parameters you want to set, etc.?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has either come across software or created their own program to mass backtest day trading strategies. Specifically, I'm imagining a program that has multiple years of stock data loaded in, and then by 1) setting filters to find the Stocks in Play with the right conditions and 2) setting parameters for potential entries, you can get every instance of a particular trade setup. With that information, you can first see some chart excerpts to confirm your parameters are correct, and after adjusting, you can then run mass simulations to see what would happen if you used a particular strategy. Some good strategies to test first might be ORBs or ABCD patterns, but overall, I wanted to see if there were a more systematic or data-driven approach to trading. Apologies if this doesn't make much sense; I haven't thought about every aspect of this fully, but I think a tool like this would be extremely helpful for both trading and learning. I've started developing some code of my own towards this goal, but if there's already an established software or if there's someone who knows about doing something similar, please let me know, I'd love to connect. Thanks, Daniel

Hi everyone! My name is Daniel, and I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area. I currently work at a computational biology startup, but I've been interested in trading for awhile now. I finally mustered up the willpower to learn more about it, and I recently finished Andrew's How to Day Trade for a Living book. I'll be honest, I didn't have a set goal in mind when I started this journey, but I've been hooked ever since I started reading the book. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed doing something so much, and I want to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible. I've been attending the morning pre-market and trading sessions, but I'm very much a novice, and I'm still figuring out how to set everything up. If anyone is also new and wants a buddy to learn and trade with, feel free to message me and we can connect! Looking forward to meeting other traders, and I hope I'll meet you all soon Best, Daniel
