PRT Feature Request - Autotrade a strategy on more than one instrument


Guest Stef

Question

Posted

Hi All,

 

Currently, when you set up a system to autotrade, you can set it up for one instrument and one timeframe only.

If you have developed a strategy that works on more than one instrument, it can take a very long time to set this up to run for each instrument.

 

Why not have the ability to choose a list (watchlist) of instruments to trade the strategy on? I would probably set this so that you would have to do this per timeframe; daily, 15min, etc.

 

I currently have a system that I would like to trade on 40+ stocks. The way it works now, I would have to set the strategy to run for each stock individually (very time consuming).

 

Also, I will have 40+ systems running on ProOrder - for this strategy only.

 

And the stats will also be calculated and displayed per instrument - so there is no easy way of knowing how the strategy is performing over all stocks.

 

Does anyone else think that this would be useful?

 

Regards

Stef

 Posted this in August. No response. I am starting to question whether I should continue to contribute to this community. Seems like a huge lack of commitment from IG. I spend quite a lot of time and effort on these suggestions to try to help to better your offerings - I really don't have to. Again, am I wasting my time? Should I rather post these on www.prorealtime.com?

Hey @Stef,

 

Apologies for the delay in responding to a number of your posts. I've now escalated this to ProRealTime and await their feedback. Once I have any news from the team, I'll be back in touch.

 

Thanks,
Dan

Hey ,

 

The development team at ProRealTime are keen on both of the suggestions you have provided (the one in this post and also the suggestion provided here).

 

They can see the value in being able to launch a system on a watchlist and have also recently had a similar suggestion for the Screener tool too. As they are already in the test phase of 10.3, they'll not be able to include it in this version, but will look to incorporate this into Version 10.4.

 

The ability to read and set parameters on Backtester in code is likely to bit a lot more difficult to implement, however the team will look to see if this can also be incorporated in 10.4.

 

Thanks,

Dan

Ok one of the biggest shortcomings on PRT and why i'm busy moving over to MT4/cAlgo. After coding in PRT for more than 2 years now.

 

1) No hedging allowed, so cannot do things like grid strategies. You could run the long/short systems separate but then without proper profit status etc, only very simplistic systems possible.

2) No position management. This includes the inability to close a partial position or a specific position in a set (with futures at least).  As far as  I can gather closing order is FIFO and then only for share CFD's, where with futures you have to close the whole position

 

Some more features before PRT can be considered a worthwhile contender in the Algo world :

- account status to enable proper account management

- Both Bid and Ask prices, to determine spread at any specific time

- Lack of API's to get instrument parameters like min. stop/limit distance at any particular time

- Lack of order API status return. It's send and forget without knowing if it executed and if it failed then for what reason (e.g. re-quotes??)

- Ability to load custom and more history data. Preferably tick data to accurately back test a strategy.

- Many many more....  Just coding in MQL4/cAlgo for a while will make you realize how far behind PRT is in this regard.

 

 

Now, i guess many of these shortcomings can  be overcome by using the java/excel API's IG provide but this is not available for South African domestic accounts so also dead end there. maybe this has changed since i last looked.

    • Airdrops are a popular method in the crypto space to reward loyal users and encourage new adopters. Tomarket is no exception, aiming to reward its most active players by distributing 80% of its TOMA token supply through a series of Tomarket airdrop stages. This initiative recognizes the contributions of users who have supported Tomarket’s growth on the TON blockchain. (To participate click here) The Four Phases of the Airdrop Tomarket airdrop is being carried out in four distinct stages, each designed to reward different segments of the community. Stage 1: Completed on October 31, 30% of the TOMA tokens were released to early participants. Stage 2: A further 30% of the TOMA supply will be revealed before the official token listing on December 20. Stage 3: An additional 17% of the TOMA tokens will be distributed during this phase, though the exact timing is still to be determined. Stage 4: The final 3% will be allocated to early adopters, with specific timing for this stage yet to be announced. How to Qualify for the Tomarket Airdrop Participating in the Tomarket airdrop is simple, but there are a few tasks you need to complete to be eligible: Add the Tomato Emoji: Add a tomato emoji to your Telegram display name to show you're part of the Tomarket community. Reach Bronze Level: Achieve at least Level 4 (Bronze) in the Tomarket game to prove your activity on the platform. Connect a TON Wallet: Link your Tomarket account to a TON wallet to receive the tokens. Join the Telegram Channel: Make sure you’re a member of the Tomarket announcement channel on Telegram to stay updated on all airdrop details. Optional Premium Medal: You can purchase a premium medal for $5, which unlocks additional rewards and gives you access to 100% of your tokens during the Tomarket airdrop. How to Claim Tomarket Airdrop Tokens Once the Tomarket airdrop is live, you’ll be able to claim your Tomarket airdrop tokens directly within the Tomarket app. From there, you can withdraw the tokens to your external wallet for easy access. This streamlined process ensures that getting your rewards is quick and hassle-free. Exclusive Features and the Farming Pool Beyond the Tomarket airdrop, the project is introducing a Farming Pool for TOMA token holders.

These benefits could include more opportunities to earn tokens, access to special promotions, and other unique features that will be revealed in the future.

    • We've seen Web3 revolutionize finance, art, and ownership, but the full potential hasn't been tapped especially when it comes to AI. What if AI models and apps didn't belong to massive corporations but to the people building them? What if creators could actually connect, share, and monetize their AI innovations without gatekeepers? That's what KIP Protocol is setting out to do, and it's an idea that feels long overdue. KIP's structure is clever without being overly complicated. The Application Layer lets you turn your AI app into an ERC-3525 SFT, linking it directly to models and knowledge assets while tracking every interaction on the $KIP ledger. The Settlement Layer makes value transfer seamless, and the Ownership Layer ensures your data and knowledge are securely stored but still accessible for retrieval-augmented AI. It's decentralized, secure, and most importantly it’s built for creators, not just institutions. This is more than a protocol; it's a chance to redefine how AI works in the Web3 space. But then there is $KIP Listing Carnival on BingX where we get to share the 3,000,000 rewards up for grabs within six days. If you're into AI or Web3, this might just be your next move. 
    • Here's a price analysis for Magic Eden (ME) based the current hype around the token especially with Bitget and Binance Listing today   Current Price and Market Dynamics: Current Price: The $ME token is currently trading at around $9.02, with a recent increase of about +5.37% over the past 24 hours. This data reflects the price as of the latest update. Market Sentiment: There's a mix of optimism and caution around $ME. Some posts on X suggest that the token might be overvalued at its current price, with one user stating, "Magic Eden is heavily overvalued at $9 btw. Fair price is $0." However, there's also anticipation around events like the $ME airdrop, which seems to be fueling some positive market sentiment.   Short-Term Predictions: Airdrop Influence: The upcoming $ME airdrop has been a significant point of discussion. With the airdrop now live, there's an expectation of high selling pressure initially, which could lead to a price dip. However, following this, some analysts are optimistic about the price recovering and potentially surpassing $6-$7 within days after the initial sell-off.   Price Targets: Users on X have set various price targets post-airdrop, with one suggesting an initial profit-taking around the $125-$140 area for those who received the airdrop. Another prediction sees the price potentially reaching $10 within a couple of days of trading, with optimistic scenarios pushing to $15.    Long-Term Outlook: Market Cap and Liquidity: Given Magic Eden's position as a leading NFT marketplace and the introduction of its token across multiple exchanges, there's potential for increased liquidity and market cap growth. The token's integration into services like staking, rewards, and governance could further drive its value if adoption within the Magic Eden ecosystem grows. Fundamental Analysis: Magic Eden's expansion to multiple blockchains, user-friendly enhancements, and its robust community support are positive signs for long-term growth. However, the volatile nature of crypto markets, especially around significant events like airdrops, means investors should be prepared for both rapid gains and potential corrections. Risks and Challenges: The high initial selling pressure post-airdrop and the general market sentiment towards new tokens can be significant hurdles. Additionally, competition in the NFT marketplace sector and broader market conditions (like regulatory changes or shifts in crypto popularity) could affect $ME's price trajectory.   Conclusion: The $ME token shows signs of both immediate volatility due to the airdrop event and potential for growth based on Magic Eden's market position and expansion plans. Event like Poolx, and Candybomb campaigns on Bitget and various exchanges could have both positive and negative impact on the price but they offer a good opportunity for users to earn airdrops of the token.
