AI Trading: The Revolution You Can't IgnoreThe Era of AI Trading Has Arrived And It's Only Getting Started Forget the movie version of AI glowing red eyes flawlessly predicting every tick. The real story is colder, quieter, and way more powerful: We are moving from a world where humans look at charts to a world where machines digest every tick, every candle, every flow of data… and feed you the edge you couldn't see on your own. Right now, as you read this, AI is already sitting inside: Execution algorithms routing institutional orders across venues Risk engines stress testing portfolios in milliseconds News and sentiment scanners parsing thousands of headlines a minute Retail tools that turn a paragraph of English into working NYSE:PINE Script This isn't science fiction. This is the baseline. And the baseline is rising. The traders who survive this decade won't be the ones fighting AI. They'll be the ones partnering with it. So What Exactly Is "AI Trading"? At its core, AI trading is simply using algorithms that can learn from data to make parts of the trading process smarter. That can mean anything from a small script that filters charts for you, all the way up to full stack systems managing billions. The spectrum looks like this: AI Assisted Analysis You still click the buttons, but AI does the heavy lifting. Pattern recognition on charts (trend, ranges, breakouts) Scanning hundreds of symbols for your exact conditions Sentiment analysis on news and earnings headlines Idea generation: "Show me all large‑cap stocks breaking out with above‑average volume" AI‑Generated Signals The machine tells you what it would do; you decide whether to listen. Multi‑indicator models that output clear long/short/flat signals Quant models that score each asset from 0-100 based on your rules Bots that push alerts when high‑probability setups appear Fully Automated Trading The system trades end‑to‑end while you supervise. Execution from signal → order → risk control with no manual clicks Self adjusting position sizing and risk controls Strategies that re‑train on fresh data as regimes shift Wherever you are on that spectrum, you're already in the AI game. The question isn't "Will I use AI?" it's "How deeply will I let it into my process?" How AI Actually "Sees" the Market Humans see a chart. AI sees a dataset. Human view: One instrument at a time A couple of timeframes A handful of indicators you like Heavily filtered through emotion and bias AI view: Thousands of symbols at once Dozens of timeframes and derived features Years of historical data compressed into patterns Zero fear, zero FOMO, zero boredom Feed a model clean data and it can uncover: Regimes you feel but can't quantify (trend, chop, grind, panic) Relationships between assets that hold statistically Behavioral patterns like "late‑day reversals after gap‑up opens" Execution patterns in the order book around key levels But here's the crazy part: AI is completely unforgiving about your assumptions. If the data is noisy, biased, or poorly structured, the model will happily learn the wrong thing and apply it with perfect discipline. "Garbage in, garbage out" gets amplified at machine speed. The Era We're Entering: Human + AI, Not Human vs AI Over the next decade, expect three shifts to accelerate: From Intuition First → Data‑First Traders will still have hunches, but they'll validate them against hard data. Instead of "this looks extended", you'll ask the system: "How often do moves like this actually continue?" and get an answer in seconds. From Single‑Indicator Thinking → Multi‑Signal Models No more worshiping one magic oscillator. AI will blend technicals, fundamentals, flows, and sentiment into a unified view. From Static Systems → Adaptive Systems Instead of one set of parameters forever, models will adapt as volatility, liquidity, and structure change. Think of it as a trading playbook that rewrites itself when the game changes. Technologies like larger language models, specialized chips, and eventually quantum‑accelerated optimization won't magically "solve" markets, but they will make it cheaper and faster to test ideas, build systems, and manage risk. The edge shifts from "Can I code this?" to "Can I ask the right questions, define the right constraints, and manage the risk around what the models tell me?" Where You Fit In As a Trader In the era of AI, your job becomes less about staring at every tick, and more about designing the rules of the game your tools play. You define what "good" trades look like. You choose which markets, timeframes, and risks matter. You decide when a model is behaving, and when it's time to shut it off. AI gives you: Speed: scanning what you could never cover alone Consistency: executing the plan without emotional drift Feedback: showing you what really works in your own data You bring: Context: macro, narrative, and common sense Values: what risks you refuse to take Adaptability: knowing when to step back or switch regimes Put together, that's where the edge lives. Getting Started in the AI Era (Without Getting Overwhelmed) You don't need a PhD, a server rack, or a lab full of quants. You can start small and intelligent: Audit Your Current Process Where are you slow? (Scanning, journaling, testing?) Where are you emotional? (Entries, exits, sizing?) Those are prime targets for AI assistance. Add One AI Tool at a Time Maybe it's an AI screener. Maybe it's an NYSE:PINE Script assistant that helps you code and backtest. Maybe it's a journaling tool that tags your trades automatically. Learn to Read the Data Behind the Magic Look at win rate, drawdown, expectancy. Compare AI filtered setups to your old ones. Keep what clearly improves your edge; drop the rest. Respect the Risks Over‑fitted models that look perfect on the past. Black‑box systems you can't explain. Over‑reliance on automation with no kill switch. Is AI Going to Take Over Trading Completely? In some corners of the market, AI and automation already dominate . High‑frequency execution, index rebalancing, options market‑making, these domains are machine territory. But markets are more than math. They are human fear, greed, regulation, politics, liquidity constraints, structural changes and unexpected shocks. That messy mix is exactly where human oversight still matters. The most realistic future isn't "AI replaces traders" it's AI replaces undisciplined, unstructured traders who bring nothing but guesses to the table. Traders who can think in systems, understand risk, and collaborate with machines? They don't get replaced. They get leverage. Your Turn Where are you right now in this evolution? Still fully manual, doing everything by hand? Using a few AI assisted tools but not trusting them yet? Already running bots and systematic strategies? What part of AI trading are you most curious or skeptical about? And the big question: Do you think the future of trading belongs to AI, or to traders who know how to use it? Drop your thoughts in the comments this era is just beginning.

The market isn’t random. It’s driven by algorithms.The market is not arbitrary. It is powered by algorithms that essentially accomplish just two tasks: either push the price in the direction of the next liquidity pool or pull it back to fill the orders they missed en route, such as leftover blocks, imbalances, and unfulfilled orders. Understanding that basic behavior is the foundation of everything I trade. Since it indicates where the algorithm is attempting to go next, I begin with the higher-timeframe trend. Then, in order to determine which side is in control, I wait for a powerful push, a distinct, quick displacement. The algorithm nearly always retraces slowly after that push because it must return to correct imbalances and complete the orders it overlooked. Additionally, that gradual decline indicates that the trend is still going strong. A quick or forceful pullback indicates that the algorithm is probably changing course because it is creating new imbalances rather than going back to correct the previous ones. I therefore only accept trades when the price gradually returns to my order blocks, imbalances, or prior liquidity areas before moving on to the next pool of liquidity. I don't forecast highs or lows. I do not oppose the market. All I'm doing is following the algorithm as it shifts from one liquidity pool to the next, making any necessary corrections before moving on.

#ALGO/USDT - this will go up#ALGO The price is moving within an ascending channel on the 1-hour timeframe and is adhering to it well. It is poised to break out strongly and retest the channel. We have a downtrend line on the RSI indicator that is about to break and retest, which supports the upward move. There is a key support zone in green at 0.1764, representing a strong support point. We have a trend of consolidation above the 100-period moving average. Entry price: 0.1784 First target: 0.1811 Second target: 0.1840 Third target: 0.1870 Don't forget a simple money management rule: Place your stop-loss order below the green support zone. Once you reach the first target, save some money and then change your stop-loss order to an entry order. For any questions, please leave a comment. Thank you.

A few important steps for creating robust and winning StrategiesAs the title says, I want to share knowledge & important insights into the best practices for creating robust, trustworthy and profitable trading Strategies here on TradingView. These bits of information that my team I have gathered throughout the years and have managed to learn through mostly trial and error. Costly errors too . Many of these points more professional traders know, however, there are some that are quite innovative for all levels of experience in my opinion. Please, feel free to correct me or add more in the comments. There are a few strategic and tactical changes to our process that made a noticeable difference in the quality of Strategies and Indicators immediately. Firstly and most importantly, we have all heard about it, but it is having the most data available. A good algorithm, when being built NEEDS to have as many market situations in its training data as possible. Choppy markets, uptrends, downtrends, fakeouts, manipulations - all of these are necessary for the strategy to learn the possible market conditions as much as possible and be prepared for trading on unknown data. Many may have heard the phrase "History doesn't repeat itself but rhymes well" - you need to have the whole dictionary of price movements to be able to spot when it rhymes and act accordingly. The TradingView Ultimate plan offers the most data in terms of historical candles and is best suited for creating robust strategies. ___ Secondly, of course, robustness tests. Your algorithm can perform amazingly on training data, but start losing immediately in real time, even if you have trained it on decades of data. These include Monte-carlo simulations to see best and worst scenarios during the training period. Tests also include the fundamentally important out-of-sample checks . For those who aren’t familiar - this means that you should separate data into training sets and testing sets. You should train your algorithm on some data, then perform a test on unknown to the optimization process data. It's common practice to separate data as 20% training / 20% unknown / 20% training etc. to build a data set that will show how your algorithm performs on unknown to it market movements. Out of sample tests are crucial and you can never trust a strategy that has not been through them. Walk-forward simulations are similar - you train your algorithm on X amount of data and simulate real-time price feeds and monitor how it performs. You can use the Replay function of TradingView to do walk-forward tests! When you are doing robustness tests, we have found that a stable strategy performs around 90% similarly in terms of win rate and Sortino ratio compared to training data. The higher the correlation between training performance and out of sample performance, the more risk you can allocate to this algorithm. ___ Now lets move onto some more niche details. Markets don’t behave the same when they are trending downward and when they are trending upwards. We have found that separating parameters for optimization into two - for long and for short - independent of each other, has greatly improved performance and also stability. Logically it is obvious when you look at market movements. In our case, with cryptocurrencies, there is a clear difference between the duration and intensity of “dumps” and “pumps”. This is normal, since the psychology of traders is different during bearish and bullish periods. Yes, introducing double the amount of parameters into an algorithm, once for long, once for short, can carry the risk of overfitting since the better the optimizer (manual or not), the better the values will be adjusted to fit training data. But if you apply the robustness tests mentioned above, you will find that performance is greatly increased by simply splitting trade logic between long and short. Same goes for indicators. Some indicators are great for uptrends but not for downtrends. Why have conditions for short positions that include indicators that are great for longs but suck at shorting, when you can use ones that perform better in the given context? ___ Moving on - while overfitting is the main worry when making an algorithm, underoptimization as a result of fear of overfitting is a big threat too . You need to find the right balance by using robustness tests. In the beginning, we had limited access to software to test our strategies out of sample and we found out that we were underoptimizing because we were scared of overfitting, while in reality we were just holding back the performance out of fear. Whats worse is we attributed the losses in live trading to what we thought was overfitting, while in reality we were handicapping the algorithm out of fear. ___ Finally, and this relates to trading in general too, we put in place very strict rules and guidelines on what indicators to use in combination with others and what their parameter range is. We went right to theory and capped the values for each indicator to be within the predefined limits. A simple example is MACD . Your optimizer might make a condition that includes MACD with a fast length of 200, slow length of 160 and signal length of 100. This may look amazing on backtesting and may work for a bit on live testing, but these values are FUNDAMENTALLY wrong (Investopedia, MACD). You must know what each indicator does and how it calculates its values. Having a fast length bigger than the slow one is completely backwards, but the results may show otherwise. When you optimize any strategy, manually or with the help of a software, be mindful of the theory. Mathematical formulas don’t care about the indicator’s logic, only about the best combination of numbers to reach the goal you are optimizing for - be it % Return, Profit Factor or other. Parabolic SAR is another one - you can optimize values like 0.267; 0.001; 0.7899 or the sort and have great performance on backtesting. This, however, is completely wrong when you look into the indicator and it’s default values (Investopedia, Parabolic SAR). To prevent overfitting and ensure a stable profitability over time, make sure that all parameters are within their theoretical limits and constraints, ideally very close to their default values. Thank you for reading this long essay and I hope that at least some of our experience will help you in the future. We have suffered greatly due to things like not following trading theory and leaving it all up to pure mathematical optimization, which is ignorant of the principles of the indicators. The separation between Long / Short logic was also an amazing instant improvement. View the linked idea where we explain the psychology of risk management and suggest a few great ways to calculate and manage your risk when trading - just as important as the strategy itself! What do you think? Do you use any of these methods; Or better ones? Let us know in the comments.

HOW TO Master Algo Trading: Essential Skills for Modern Trading🤖 Algo trading isn’t just about letting robots do the heavy lifting. It’s also not letting a machine take over your trading. Algo trading uses computer programs to help you to automate buying and selling in financial markets based on set rules. So if you have a mechanical system with a track record, you’re on your way of becoming an algo trader. BUT… There are always ways to improve your trading and there are elements you can use to become a more proficient algo trader. Let’s get into them. 🔢 Element #1: Experience with Database Management and Data Analysis Data is your best friend when it comes to algo trading. You need to know the trading game plan before you take your first trade. It’s like building your city with an end goal. You need a map, you need the tools, you need a worst-case scenario plan etc… Data analysis, on the other hand, allows you to extract meaningful insights from this data. You need to know how back, forward and real test your system, strategy and results. The more data you have, the more significant edge you’ll have over those who rely on gut feeling alone. 📊 Element #2: Knowledge of Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis and machine learning are the backbone of successful algo trading. They empower you to create models that predict market movements and optimize trading strategies. This is where your important rules, criteria and decisions come. E.g. When do you halt trading after a drawdown. When do you consider a medium and high probability trade. When do you consider a medium to high probability day. What do you consider high, medium and low probability markets. Do you know how to handle Pre-market movers? Remember, markets are influenced by countless factors, and understanding these relationships requires robust statistical tools. 💹 Element #3: Understand Financial Markets and Trading Strategies While technology drives algo trading, understanding the financial markets is crucial. You need to grasp how different markets operate, from stocks, indices, commodities and Forex with their unique characteristics of each. Each market has it’s own personality and demeanor. For example, for the life of me my system does NOT work with the EUR/USD – The most popular currency of all time. And I’ve accepted that. Without this understanding, you might as well be throwing darts at a board while blindfolded. 🕵️ Element #4: Strong Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills Markets are unpredictable. They are also random and uncertain. They throw curveballs when you least expect them. Your winning streaks can last longer than you think. But so can your drawdowns. And that period where the market moves sideways, can make a trader go crazy. That’s why strong analytical and problem-solving skills are vital. When an algorithm isn’t performing as expected, you need to diagnose the issue swiftly and effectively. Think of it like being a detective in the trading world. You need to analyze patterns, identify anomalies, and adjust your strategies to stay on top. This requires a sharp, analytical mind and a knack for solving complex problems under pressure. 🧠 Element #5: Attention to Detail and Ability to Work Under Pressure In algo trading, the devil is in the details. One small error in your system can lead to significant financial losses. One wrong parameter in your moving average or indicator, and it could determine a failed strategy. Therefore, meticulous attention to detail is non-negotiable. And you need to adapt like a robot because trading is definitely working under pressure. This is a skill that we are NOT born with but one must learn through sheer will and hard experience. Financial markets operate at lightning speed, and decisions often need to be made in real-time. The ability to stay calm and focused in such an environment can make or break your trading success. Final words: Mastering algo trading requires a blend of technical skills, market knowledge, and the right tools. Let’s sum up what it is and what you need to master the skills. Algo trading, or algorithmic trading, involves using computer algorithms to automate trading decisions based on predefined criteria and market data analysis. It aims to execute trades at optimal speeds and prices, leveraging technology to minimize human error and emotional bias. The skills you need to master are: Element #1: Experience with Database Management and Data Analysis Element #2: Knowledge of Statistical Analysis Element #3: Understand Financial Markets and Trading Strategies Element #4: Strong Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills Element #5: Attention to Detail and Ability to Work Under Pressure

ALGOUSDT Forming Bullish WaveALGOUSDT is currently demonstrating a Bullish Wave Pattern, a strong technical signal that often precedes a significant upward price movement. This pattern typically forms in trending markets, suggesting a series of higher highs and higher lows that indicate sustained buying interest. With this wave structure unfolding, the market appears to be favoring a continuation of the current uptrend, making ALGO an appealing candidate for mid-term gains. The volume profile is showing a steady increase, which supports the pattern’s validity and hints at rising momentum. A strong volume base during the formation of bullish wave patterns is often an early indication of institutional accumulation or renewed retail participation. With key support levels holding firm and resistance levels gradually weakening, the setup points to a potential price surge of 50% to 60% or more if bullish momentum continues. Algorand’s fundamentals are also contributing to growing investor interest. Known for its scalable blockchain technology and low transaction fees, ALGO has seen increasing adoption in DeFi and enterprise-level blockchain solutions. This growing utility, combined with the current bullish technical setup, enhances the coin’s attractiveness for both swing traders and long-term holders.

ETH: Huge Reversal or Correction Still in the Horizon?The recent price action in Ethereum (ETH) has left market participants questioning its next major move. With volatility high and sentiment shifting, is ETH headed for a massive reversal, or is a correction still looming on the horizon? Key Points to Consider Macro Environment: Global markets are facing uncertainty from shifting interest rates and regulatory developments in crypto. These factors may spark continued volatility for ETH in the near term. Technical Analysis: ETH has many analysts watching key support and resistance areas. A clean break above resistance could signal a reversal, while a failure to hold recent gains may suggest a correction is not over yet. On-Chain Data: Activity on the Ethereum network, including DeFi usage and staking patterns, can offer clues as to whether accumulation or distribution is taking place. Market Sentiment: Traders remain divided, with some calling the recent bounce a bull trap, and others anticipating renewed upside momentum. My Take While the case for a reversal is gaining strength, the possibility of a broader correction can’t be dismissed. It’s crucial for investors to stay alert, watch the charts, and position size accordingly. I'm not longing any crypto in the short run...As for the long run, extremely BULLISH! *not investment advice* #Ethereum #Crypto #Investing #MarketAnalysis #Web3 #crypto #bitcoin #trading

ALGO: Surprise Rally Ahead?Yello Paradisers, did you spot that breakout from the descending channel in time or are you still waiting for confirmation that already happened? 💎#ALGO/USDT has officially broken out of its multi-week descending channel after a textbook Break of Structure (BoS). Price action gave us a beautiful retrace into the demand zone, and from there boom momentum began shifting. This move is now showing early signs of bullish continuation, but as always, the majority will only realize it once the big move is already done. 💎#ALGO had been trading within a clearly defined descending channel, with price reacting precisely between the descending resistance and descending support lines. The breakout occurred after a strong candle pierced the descending resistance, and more importantly, we got a BoS followed by a clean retest of the demand zone around $0.165–$0.175. That reaction was sharp and decisive, indicating strong interest from buyers stepping in. 💎As of now, it is trading near $0.186 and forming higher lows, which supports the idea of an ongoing trend reversal. The structure has changed, and bulls are slowly regaining control. If price sustains above $0.190, the doors open for further upside. The first key level that could slow momentum is minor resistance near $0.210. If that level breaks with volume, moderate resistance around $0.230 becomes the next critical zone. Above that, the major target sits at $0.260, a strong resistance area where a lot of liquidity could be triggered. 💎On the flip side, the strong support zone between $0.145 and $0.155 remains our invalidation area. If price drops below this range, the bullish setup collapses, and we reassess the entire structure. But unless that happens, the bias remains cautiously bullish. Trade Smart. Stay Patient. Be Consistent. MyCryptoParadise iFeel the success🌴

June trading results - three automated trading systemsHi, In month of June 2025, my three automated trading systems made 32 trades on ME.S and MN.Q. The pnl pie charts are on the screen. I lost about $1,000 in total. I trade on Micro. Well, I was up for the past 5 month but this kinda hurts, but its ok, I should not give up. I have back tested my strategies using python backtrader in 5 years (rolling walk forward), I know that lost is also expected. My system trades on 15 min candle, and I use tradingView + tradovate automation system which I built myself.

Automated Execution: TradingView Alerts → Tradovate using AWS LaI’ve built a fully automated pipeline that takes live TradingView alerts and turns them into real orders in Tradovate. Here’s how it works, step by step (I will provide a video on it): PineScript Alerts My indicator/strategy in TradingView fires alert() with a JSON payload (symbol, side, qty, price, ATR, ENV). Webhook to AWS Alerts hit an API Gateway endpoint in AWS, invoking a Lambda function. Lambda Processing Parse the JSON from TradingView. Calculate Stop‐Loss & Take‐Profit using ATR. Authenticate to the Tradovate API (demo & live environments). Place an OCO order (placeOSO) with proper bracket legs. Send a confirmation message to my Telegram channel. Tradovate REST API Auth: POST /auth/accesstokenrequest → accessToken List accounts: GET /account/list → find accountId Place OCO: POST /order/placeOSO with entry, SL, TP Testing & Monitoring Local smoke tests of Telegram bot. Lambda console test events for sample payloads. CloudWatch logs for debugging & alerts on errors. Why it matters: Zero manual steps from signal to fill. Consistent risk management via ATR‐based SL/TP. Clear audit trail: logs in AWS + Telegram notifications. Educational resource for anyone building similar setups Feel free to ask questions or suggest improvements! Please leave comments.
