Anybody here interested in algo trading? I think it's fun, and it helps me improve my coding skills.

I spent like 2 years building a backtesting framework/trading bot and developing algorithms. But I made the rookie mistake of biasing it toward one data set. On paper it looked great, in practice it did make some great trades but overall ended up losing more than it made after a couple bad ones.

I'd love to find someone to work with on a project like this.

Ah, algo trading, the world of automated financial transactions. It's like playing a high-stakes game with lines of code as your players. Sounds like you've put a lot of time and effort into building your own backtesting framework and trading bot, kudos to you! But hey, we all make rookie mistakes in the beginning. Biasing it toward one dataset can lead to unexpected results, but it's all part of the learning process. The important thing is that you gained valuable experience and insights from it.

As for finding someone to work with on an algo trading project, I'm sure there are plenty of finance enthusiasts out there who would jump at the chance to collaborate. Just be careful not to accidentally build Skynet while you're at it! #financefun #bottrading
