Hi The Disciplined Trader,

Who is your VPS provider and is there any trial available...?

Using Auto It or some other utility for full automation, please guide. I have made batch files for starting and stopping all trading softwares, but i need to run those batch files manually.

i am giving ur pm answer here. i use google cloud vps. yes they are providing windows server in their trial service. u get 2 months trial free. after that u will get 2500 to 3000 rs per month. there are lot of vps provider if u go for symphony they charge 12 k per year for vps which is cheap compare to google. also in google u have to do all by ur own. which is a bit difficult task.

frankly speaking i am not coding person. i paid one professional and he did it. it was very difficult task it took me 1 month to go fully automatic. it depends on which datafeed u use which auto api u use. most datafeed companies dosent support auto start. it starts automatically but datafeed dose not start. another disadvantage is i dont see my algo for week. so i cant miss any signals if i miss any buy sell due to any issue still my cover order will get fire so i have to put all orders market order. i get more slippages due to this.

Very good and best of luck to you. please respond to query and tell me how you have fully automated the Zerodha Pi. as far as i know, you will have to accept the order in Pi before it goes to exchange. Further how are you automatically starting your terminal, amibroker and data feed every day.

i didnt say to which broker i am doing auto trading. i am using zerodha for option trading. i cant answer all ur questions on public forum as u know how auto trading in india works. but yes everything starts automatically. even i can start all application from my mobile also. i am not here to sell anything or promote anything but if u need help i can guide u. pm me.

I am using below code for back testing.

Param_LotSize = Param("Lot Size (used for backtesting only)", 1,1,5000,1);
Param_Margin = Param("Margin required (used for backtesting only)", 15,0.001,100,0.001);
Param_NoOfLots = Param("No of lots normally traded (used for backtesting only)",1,1,10000,1);

//Settings for Backtester

SetOption("AllowSameBarExit", False);
SetOption("AllowPositionShrinking", False);
SetOption("FuturesMode", True);
SetOption("InterestRate",0);
SetOption("MaxOpenPositions",1);
RoundLotSize = Param_LotSize;
SetOption("MinShares",RoundLotSize);
SetOption("PriceBoundChecking",False);
//SetOption("CommissionMode",3);
//SetOption("CommissionAmount",12.5/RoundLotSize);
SetOption("AccountMargin",Param_Margin);
SetOption("ReverseSignalForcesExit",True);
SetOption("UsePrevBarEquityForPosSizing",True);
//ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing, stopModePoint, DTSL, True, True );
PositionSize = C*RoundLotSize*Param_NoOfLots;
SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);
BuyPrice = Close;
SellPrice = Close;
ShortPrice = Close;
CoverPrice = Close;

//End of Settings for Backtester

And below the snapshot for backtester setting window.

Are these correct settings....?

since u coded backteating in afl, it will override the backtester settings.
I usually want to keep ot simple, so never coded these settings, rather changed settings in backtester window.

check the bold lines.
pos size = 7000(nf)*1*1. will it come like this? I may be wrong also.

for 1 lot nf, keep SetPositionSize(75,spsShares);

Confused about these things.

So should I remove backtester code and simply set backtesting window as per your chart. I am backtesting only nifty.
