What I've been doing

    I have the KISS systems auto running futures for me - been working very well, completely automated bots - it's like having a dozen soldiers doing work for me during the day and overnight (trades can and do occur overnight)

    I'm running KISS on 7 times frames of ES - 10 min, 23 min, 46 min, 138 min, 276 min, 345 min, and 460 min - all automated - why all these different time frames and not one? It's the shotgun approach, they can be in similar trades and overlap, but also do different trades, and creates an averaging effect.  Also why the weird time frames such as 23 min, 138 min? It's because there are 1380 min in the ES daily bar, all these time frames divide evenly into 1380

    NQ futures - 69 min, 138 min, 276 min, 345 min, 460 min

    2K Russell futures:  138 min, 230 min, 345 min, 460 min

    CL crude oil futures - for now only running 30 min

    plan to add more such as bond futures, gold,  Eurostoxx 50 etc

    obviously these cannot realistically be sent to the website as alerts - whos going to be around at 3:30 am when one of these takes a trade? Has to be completely automated.  

    The only other options would be to use that old broker that has a service where they run the systems and execute the trades (but I have to give them the system) or lease them, which again I don't know about that, I'd have to charge quite a lot, then there's security other things - and I don't want 50 people with orders all going off at the exact same time creating slippage - so some staggered effect would have to be created where the systems would send only so many orders at one time, for example if there's a signal, send a max of 20 contracts, and wait 1 min to send the next batch and so on to stagger them - seems too complicated - maybe I should do a hedge fund or something if this works out - for now best for me to just run them to see how they perform over time

    I'm not showing these to make you jealous, simply showing fun things that I'm running on the side

    Check out the collective2 and striker.  BTW- how do you like auto-trading with TS? All good until the system freezes for 500th time. I even have TS running on a server and its still slow as hell. I don't autotrade yet but have considered it.

    it's been fine - granted

    it's been fine - granted had to build a supercomputer, which is freakin fast and rock solid. make  sure to turn off auto backups, you don't want TS running a backup in the middle of the night and logging out, or schedule them to run once on weekend

    backups! i think that's definitely

    backups! i think that's definitely been an issue.
