Hey fellow crypto enthusiasts! Just wanted to share my thoughts on the exchange recent performance. Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. Despite the market being a bit shaky, this platform have been killing it. They pulled in 1.72 million new users last month! That's no small feat. What caught my eye: 1. Apple Pay and Google Pay integration. Super convenient for converting fiat to crypto. I've used it a few times already - smooth as butter. 2. Their trading volumes are insane. $400 million daily in spot markets? $7 billion in futures? That's some serious liquidity. 3. The protection fund sitting at $400 million is reassuring. Always good to know there's a safety net. 4. Copy trading seems to be blowing up. 185,000 pro traders to follow? Sign me up! 5. They got that ISO 27001:2022 cert too. Might sound boring, but it's actually a big deal for security. Oh, and they've got this new legal chief, Hon Ng, working on expanding to new markets. Curious to see where that leads. It feels like the exchange is making smart moves. They're growing fast but still focusing on security and user experience. What do you all think? Anyone else been using Bitget lately? -
Currently run multiple portfolios across ISA, SIPP and a GIA account mostly invested in shares, ETFs and smart portfolios. There doesnt seem to be any sensible way of looking at historical P&L across my accounts or even on a per account basis. Tracking this myself in a spready is dull dull dull. I know IG used to be a fairly bare bones brokerage, but is trying to market itself as an investment platform (c/f Cricket ads). IG clearly have the required data and this is pretty core capability for an investment platform. Where is it? -

Coffee Elliott Wave Analysis Coffee prices are beginning to turn lower after completing a key technical chart pattern. The commodity has been on a strong upward trajectory since October 2023, but a corrective decline now seems likely before the next leg of the rally resumes, continuing the bullish sequence from late 2023. This analysis explores the potential for a pullback and identifies key levels where the next move higher could emerge. Long-Term Chart Analysis Coffee prices have historically traded within a wide range, with support levels between $40 and $55, and resistance levels ranging from $276 to $337. The current bullish cycle for coffee started back in May 2019, marking the beginning of a significant upward move. The first phase of this cycle peaked in February 2022, when coffee prices reached notable highs. A corrective second phase followed, ending with a bottom in January 2023. After this low, the third and ongoing phase of the bullish cycle began, and it is evolving as part of a larger corrective pattern within the broader Elliott Wave structure. The third phase of the rally appears to be developing as a corrective wave, which is part of the larger impulse that started in 2019. With this in mind, the current price action suggests that further gains may come, but not before a significant pullback takes place. Daily Chart Analysis On the daily chart, the third phase of the recovery completed its first leg, labeled wave (W), in April 2023. This was followed by a three-wave corrective structure, wave (X), which ended at 143.70 in October 2023, confirming support at that level. The subsequent rally represents wave (Y) of the primary degree wave W (circled), completing the bullish phase. Wave (Y) of W (circled) appears to have formed an ending diagonal structure, signaling the exhaustion of the uptrend. With this structure potentially completed, a corrective pullback in wave X (circled) is expected. Given the sub-wave structure, this correction could take the form of a double zigzag, a complex corrective pattern that typically leads to further downside before the uptrend resumes. H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, wave (Y) of W (circled) has completed a diagonal pattern, indicating that the rally is running out of steam. The immediate decline that has followed can be identified as wave W of (W) of Y (circled), the first phase of the larger corrective structure. A bounce in wave X is anticipated, but it is expected to remain below the August 2024 high. Once this bounce is complete, another leg lower in wave Y of (W) is likely, completing the initial correction phase. Thus, while the long-term trend remains bullish for coffee, the market appears to be in the midst of a bearish retracement that could extend lower over the coming weeks. This corrective phase will likely persist as long as the August 2024 high is not breached, offering traders an opportunity to reassess before the next major rally unfolds.

Question
BarryDayTrader
Hi
I'm new to this community, so first let me introduce myself! My name is Barry (I suppose most of you already guessed that by my username!) and I'm just starting out on this exciting journey to find out "how to profit from trading".
I've done quite a bit of research, and tried setting up lots of strategies to backtest (none of them successful, so far!). I would like to proceed with my latest strategy which involves running a ProScreener script at the end of each trading day (I'm currently looking at the UK shares market), to select which shares to run in AutoTrading mode the following day. I can backtest this strategy by running the strategy for a number of days, but what I'm having a problem with is how to 'backtest' the ProScreener script. There doesn't seem to be a way to run the ProScreener script at a certain date/time (in the past)
As a work-around, I've build an indicator which "looks backwards" a certain number of periods, to show me what the indicator would have shown, had I run it at that date/time. I then reference this indicator in a ProScreener script to effectively show the list of shares that the ProScreener script would have given me, had I run it on that date/time.
Anyone still with me?.....Anyway, this seems to work, but, when I check the results of the ProScreener script, they don't match what I am expecting, when I compare manually.
I'm not sure how this forum prefers code to be included, so I am embedding it here. I'm sure someone will let me know the correct way to do this!
Strategy Code:
// looking for crossover in last 'numberPeriods' - offset by 'priorPeriods'
MACDLineVal = MACDline[12,26,9](close)
MACDSignalVal = MACDSignal[12,26,9](close)
longMACDCrossover= (MACDLineVal CROSSES OVER MACDSignalVal) and (MACDLineVal<0)
shortMACDCrossunder= (MACDLineVal CROSSES UNDER MACDSignalVal) and (MACDLineVal>0)
longMACDCrossoverCount=0
i=0
WHILE i < numberPeriods DO
longMACDCrossoverCount=longMACDCrossoverCount+longMACDCrossover[priorPeriods+i]
i=i+1
WEND
shortMACDCrossunderCount=0
i=0
WHILE i < numberPeriods DO
shortMACDCrossunderCount=shortMACDCrossunderCount+shortMACDCrossunder[priorPeriods+i]
i=i+1
WEND
return longMACDCrossoverCount as "LONG Crossovers in Last numberPeriods",shortMACDCrossunderCount as "SHORT Crossunders in Last numberPeriods",10*longMACDCrossoverCount+shortMACDCrossunderCount as "Signal",Date[priorPeriods]-20210200 as "Date"
/////////////////////////////////////
ProScreener Code:
ignored, ignored, indicator1, ignored = CALL "FTSEMACDLastXPeriodsOffset"[204, 24]
c1 = (indicator1 > 0)
ignored, ignored, criteria, ignored = CALL "FTSEMACDLastXPeriodsOffset"[204, 24]
SCREENER[c1] (criteria AS "Signal")
////////////////////////////////////
Happy to explain in more detail if anyone out there thinks they understand my problem!
Thanks for reading........
