Candlestick pattern with algo trading


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I choose this forum because https://labs.ig.com/community is completely dead

I'm developping my own trading bot based on candlestick pattern.
With IG API, I can fetch BID or OFR data about OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE of the current candle. 

Problem is BID_XX or OFR_XX doesn't represent the actual price so if I base my candlesticks patterns on these datas, they can be wrong because of difference between BID/OFR and the actual price. A pattern, whatever it is, is effective if everybody see the same thing.

How can I get accurate candlestick pattern, that are representative of the actual price ?
I'm stuck with this because many wrong trades are trigged.

Thanks for your time.

    • Investing in crypto could be challenging especially the Fear of Missing out Lambo. This mostly affect traders trading strategy and ideology. Predicting the right time to buy is always cumbersome and that is why many analyst advise DCA because it curtails FOMO and gives you a long-term crypto trading mentality. In crypto Dollar Cost Averaging involves investing the same amount of money in a target token at regular intervals over a certain period of time, regardless of price. This will help to control volatility on your portfolios and minimize FOMO For example when you decide to invest $100 on a token and invest $10 daily or weekly or monthly till you fulfilled you $100 target investment on the token irrespective of the price of the token. This strategy helps a crypto trader to build his portfolio over the long term thereby he/she is not bothered by short-term volatility in the broader markets. This strategy mostly favours low-budget traders in building a strong portfolio but the problem most normally encounter is exchange minimum trading amount. One analyst advised on how to mitigate this was to accumulate on exchange that has lower trading fees and later send to where you desire to hold. He also noted that some of this exchanges are good in listing good projects for you to be among the early birds. Do you think DCA is the best method to accumulate token and which exchange offers the lowest tradeable balance and trading fees?
