Mechtrader,

Just a thought. Since you have to give your strategy for coding to Symphony guys, and they have access to your performance as well, what prevents them from trading and profiting from your strategy or marketing the same to others (thereby removing the efficacy of the same over time)? Have you taken any precaution/measures to ensure that your strategy remains yours?

Hi DSM,

I have not given my strategy to coding to Symphony. I have coded it myself in amibroker. I run the amibroker on a VPS and from there orders are sent to the exchange and only I have the access to the VPS.
To add to it I dont believe that if the strategy is used by a few people it will loose its potential. It only looses the edge if it goes public.

Thanks,
MT

Sir,
I want to take their VPS, as your post 57 states that they charge 12K per year for it. So, can U advise whom in Symphony to be contacted for VPS?

Thanks.

I don't think that they provide VPS without you taking their automation services. But you can always call them and ask. Just google symphony fintech and call them.

Thanks Mechtrader.... that clarifies..

I would want to consider an automated trading system for stock futures / options and commodities (and think of me as having zero knowledge on the same) I also do not use Amibroker, but can do so if required. In the simplest manner, can you describe the process and what is requires to be done to have an automated trading system such as yours? VPS, I assume means Virtual Platform Server? but no idea of what it mean/does? Take your time, and appreciate your response.

Once I get your response and am clear what needs to be done, I can then contact Symphony, and think of how to move this ahead. Thanks in advance.

Hi DSM,

It is be a lot easier that it seems.
1) Have a strategy with clear objective rules for every situation which may arise in the market.
2) Code an afl yourself in amibroker or with the help of a freelancer. If the strategy uses only current day levels then you can get them coded by symphony in their own platform. But if you want to use custom indicators and historical data then you have to get it coded in an afl and run it through amibroker or metastock or any other charting application.
3) Install amibroker on VPS and obtain live feed (22-25 k a year). The feed product for personal pc and for VM is separate by GFDL.
4) The strategy now runs in amibroker and on a VPS. Whenever a signal is generated in amibroker according to the strategy it goes in Presto (Symphony's platform) where the execution logic is applied. (Execution logic is defining order types, when to cancel order, when to modify order, how much diff to keep in trigger price and buying price, set max loss, square off pos at what time.... and alot of other options. The execution logic is coded by symphony people so dont worry about it.
5) Next u need to run the strategy in simulation mode which is exactly the same as live mode, the orders just to a virtual exchange.
6) Stay in the simulation mode for at least a month to fix all bugs that arise and all modifications that you wanna do.
7) U r now ready to go live and trade automatically. Remember, at any time you can also mix in discretion in your algo and you can cancel,add, modify positions manually.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
MT
