Features you want added to IG
TheGuru12 replied to CharlotteIG's topic in General Trading Strategy Discussion
Technical Analysis features in the API. I'd like to be able to query Support and Resistance Levels -
That would make sense as March was a HUGE deleveraging event. So alot of positions would have been liquidated.

Anymore details, It might help us help you.

3 Day SMA/ Down Days Algorithm
TheGuru12 replied to TheGuru12's topic in General Trading Strategy Discussion
My program dumps trades here for those who are interested. https://github.com/tg12/trading_algo_logs_info -
haha good point! It's been a long road but to be fair this was never where the bulk of my investments were, This was more of a hobby and beer money thing for me and a good way to learn thing and showcase my portfolio and talk about it to others. Anyway if you wanted to take a look this is where my algo dumps logs for trades. https://github.com/tg12/trading_algo_logs_info - This is a simple algo that looks at 3 day downtrends and SMA and puts trends on accordingly. https://github.com/tg12/most_shorted_stocks That is where the FCA by law has to publish a list of institutional investors that hold short positions. This downloads the spreadsheet that is updated at 3PM every day and then does a tally up. There has got to be some information useful in there somewhere.

True, that’s why I wrote my own 😎😂 it’s taken me 4 years to fine tune mine and I have no intention of selling any of them.

3 Day SMA/ Down Days Algorithm
TheGuru12 replied to TheGuru12's topic in General Trading Strategy Discussion
woah! Easy chaps (I presume) ... I just talked about my algo idea. Each to their own. I agree I have faced issues with a lot of things in Python. Some resolved by the IG Helpdesk but it works for me. Anywho. I will prepare a github repo with my code if anyone Interested. Perhaps people can contribute to the idea. I just wanted to see if anyone though it was a feasible idea -
3 Day SMA/ Down Days Algorithm
TheGuru12 replied to TheGuru12's topic in General Trading Strategy Discussion
thanks! I see you use C# I use Python -
Hi, I have been experimenting alot with the IG Index API. I find it easy to use. I have recently been toying with ideas for different algo's. I find the idea fascinating. Anyone got any thoughts on this from a mathematical point of view? Or anyone else interested in this stuff? Three consecutive down days 3 day SMA If the current price is below that 3 Day SMA then sell (There is a reason for the fundamental drop) if the current price is above the 3 Day SMA then Buy (It's held steady, There is support for it) I've coded this and testing it as we speak. If anyone is interested I will post on Github Link to Github Page Example Output. https://pastebin.com/tf26EMG6

Is volume a good indicator of price action
TheGuru12 replied to u0362565's topic in General Trading Strategy Discussion

Why? You got hacked? They probably wont be able to recover anything.

Demo API errors

Hey Nick. I’ve just seen your other post. Yeah I see this quite a bit. Especially on U.K. stocks for some reason. -
Bid Offer data missing in API response
TheGuru12 replied to NickCrusher's question in IG Technical Support - Platform and App Help
Yeah I use the API a lot and I have issues with missing data all the time. I’ve just come to accept it. It varies though. Sometimes it’s good sometimes it can be spotty at best. I just tend to do a check if the returned data is not NaN or None in Python -
How do I find number of buyers and sellers
TheGuru12 replied to Saulstones's question in IG Technical Support - Platform and App Help
You need access to the order book depth. Most likely you’d have to pay for Level 2 access -
Why is there a MINIMUM stop loss? of 31 points???
TheGuru12 replied to tt123's topic in Cryptocurrency and Blockchain
It’s ESMA regulations. Anywhere that doesn’t do it is more likely based outside the EU. How else would they stop you losing money so fast? -
Make sure you're aware of abusive practices anyone else??
TheGuru12 replied to TheGuru12's question in IG Account Support - MyIG Help
P.S I've not done anything to anyone reading this! -
Make sure you're aware of abusive practices anyone else??
TheGuru12 replied to TheGuru12's question in IG Account Support - MyIG Help
Thank f for that! I thought they were threatening me too!! It's like the TV Licencing letters. Thought I was going to prison there for a moment. I wonder if it's people who have held positions in Sirius Minerals in the last few months on the mailing list a few people who I know have IG Index accounts did not get it. Anyone from IG Index clarify? -
Who else got the "Make sure you're aware of abusive practices" email? My question is, Why? Is this because of the CEO of Sirius Minerals waging war on Retail traders?? https://www.valuethemarkets.com/2019/10/08/the-shifting-shares-view-sirius-minerals-ceos-bizarre-attack-on-bulletin-board-gamblers-sxx/ Bit confused now, Would like some clarification from IG perhaps please?
