Software Developer, new-ish in FX trading

Hi there,

I am new in the forums and in forex trading, although I’ve been looking into this for a few months now. I am a software developer with 10+ years of experience and I’ve come to the conclusion that I can use my abilities for a better and greater purpose: algo trading. I’m working part-time on this at the moment, but I’d like to do it full-time in the near future because, essentially, I’d like to have more time for myself.

My specialty is .NET, so as many of you can imagine, I am working with CAlgo (CTrader). I have created already numerous bots in the past month, based in different strategies (Guppy, MACD Power Crossover, EMA 200, Stochastic Momentum, etc). Then, I backtested them within long time ranges and all of them have presented random and inconsistent results :eek:

I’ve seen a few strategies in this forum that look interesting (considering that I am kind of new into this!), so I guess that the first thing I will do is to create a few bots and post the results from my backtests :slight_smile:

If you think that I am wasting my time, feel free to say so and point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
