Woah, what’s going on guys? So, I’m going to make this video. It’s about using Claude or chat GPT or any of the AI uh and then putting it over to NinjaTrader to make it even better. Um before I get into that, I stream live every single day. Start at 9:00 in the morning to 12:00 and then 2:00 to 4:30. If you have any questions, call in the live stream. Also, there’s a link to our free Discord in the description of this
Video. And if you want to support the stream, be sure to use code code trader. Um there’s a link in the description to a bunch of different prop firm deals. Be sure to check it out. All right. So, a lot of people ask me about things like, “Oh, I don’t have a strategy.” They like, “Where should I start?” Things like this. It has never been easier than it is now. So, one of the things that I started with is I have
Claude desktop. I basically put in my parameters and then it creates different strategies, right? As you can kind of see what’s on here, kind of strategies, IB sweep, engulfing, VWAP bounce. Uh I have 50 strategies to back test. I’m I’m obviously doing a lot. Um so, basically you have Claude pre you know, you put a big prompt in you have Claude kind of create your strategies and then it will send it to NinjaTrader. Once in NinjaTrader, you basically compile it in
The NinjaTrader uh strategy no, the editor. And then you go into the uh strategy analyze, right? And now you could put it in here. Like this is a swing for ES. And basically, you now optimize it. So, now you can have it check between take profit, stop losses, longs only, shorts only. Whatever you want to optimize for, right? Obviously, the more uh variables you have, the the it’s going to take to optimize, but and then it’ll spit out a report. This
Is not a great report. So, this one, if I’m looking at it from January 1st to basically June, uh it only made $2,000, but the drawdown is 3,600. It’s not something I’m going to use, so this strategy is out the window. Um you know, I’m usually looking for profit factor of 1.4 or higher, a win rate of about 40% or higher. I don’t like the low win rates because what could happen is you could run into, you know, sometimes people have
Like a 30% win rate. You know, you could still lose four or five in a row, right? Six in a row. So, I I don’t really like that. I like a little bit higher of a win rate. Um I definitely look at the drawdown right here. You know, cuz that’ll tell me what type of account, like I can’t use a 50K account on this strat. Like, I’m not using this strategy, but just saying like I wouldn’t use this on a 50K
Account. So, this is only used for a 150K. You know, and then this is one I’m actually testing. So, as you can see, this is what it looks like. You base This is uh an order block retest with a, you know, bounce off an order block. Uh I basically am playing around EMA periods, take the profit, stop loss, uh max bars. I think that’s it. And as you can see, all the different variations, and it’s running through my strategy. It’s going
To take about 55 more minutes. And then it’ll give me if the strategy is good or not. Um you know, I’ve come out with a lot of good strategies, and uh basically I’m going to load it up in the strategy tab, and I’m going to start running these. I I was running them live last week. Um you know, and we had great results. Uh if you were on the stream, like one day we made 1,500, another day we made 800, and
I think we made 1200 another day. So, I’m going to continue running these going forward. Just be sure if you’re using a prop firm to make sure the prop firm allows trading bots. It’s technically technically it’s a bot even though it only maybe takes one to three trades a day. It’s not that high frequency bot that they don’t like. Just run it by them before you get in trouble. Other than that, this is how I basically create strategies, optimize, and then
What I do is I take this strategy once it’s good, and I run it for like a week or two in the live market using a sim account on NinjaTrader, and then from there I see the results to make sure the results kind of match what they see here, and then basically I push it live going forward. If you have any questions about this, you should definitely call on my live stream and ask. Like I said, I’m there 5 days a
Week. Definitely pop on. Ask in the Discord, and I’ll be sure to help you all with anything, whether it’s setting up plots, setting up NinjaTrader, setting up whatever. Uh, you know, that’s what the community is about. So, just come over, ask the questions, and I’ll be sure to help you out. Doesn’t need to cost you anything. All right? Peace.
