Ask HN: Has anyone setup successful algo trading (retail)?
There was a recent thread on Zipline that had some interest. Would be interesting to have a survey to know if any retail trader has been successful setting up an automating trading system at all ?
- intellectable 10y agoI have yet to find the time to do this myself, but my research concluded that Michael Halls-Moore's @mhallsmoore blog project qsforex[0] is the best place to start. I have used Oanda as a broker and found their service to be great. Plus, As far as I know Oanda is the first to the retail market with an open API. Although, I haven't yet used Oanda's API[1] as mentioned in the setup. Check out quantstart's write ups[2] for the best info on getting started with algo trading.
