Another great article! I recommend Polygon for Python programmers, very intuitive, great data and cheap. Been using it for a few months and built useful tools. People can even try for free with yfinance library or openBB 👍 can’t succeed without data.

Amazing post, thank you so much. I run fully automated (also execution) systematic short strategies and am looking to get into pyramiding. Have you ever been able to quantify pyramiding? Because you mentioned automating your strategy. It seems very discretionary to me.

Very thorough & well written article Lukas! I'm curious if you can shed some light on your Python learning process. What were your top resources when going thru the beginning phase? Thank you so much for all the value you provide the community :D

Hi 🐻,

Is there any reason not to code execution? You can still reflect on weekends, only scale better.

I can not for the life of me imagine that there is a single trader out of those 30 who haven't automated what more profitably can be automated, but I'm always wrong.

If I'm wrong, why? I don't buy that you're losing touch more than when automating scanning.

However I do see how not automating better relates to the audience, and that's reasonable enough of course.

Sorry for the passive-aggressive questioning, very nice blog post.

I automate everything, but have the privilege of being able to code at that level.

Phenomenal roadmap for anyone starting out. Also a great iterative process that can be used for setup improvement or a repeatable process for expanding to new setups. Thanks Lukas!

Great write up Lukas. Can you expand on step #1 network? I think many realize finding a mentor is a critical step in the journey, but since trading is a very antisocial profession by nature (you + computer), can you add ideas/steps on how you expanded your network?

I see no daily reviews. Do you mean "daily report cards" are mostly useless? I am saving every trade chart, even if I shouldn't even trade it and thinking about adding DRC, do you think this would be mostly useless? I want to do more effective work, not just working so I feel busy.
