r/TradingView by u/NoahSullivan251 1y ago For those with profitable TradingView bots — how did you build them and what strategy works for you? I’m diving deeper into algorithmic trading using TradingView and I’m especially interested in hearing from people who’ve already built bots that are consistently profitable.
If you’ve created a successful trading bot, I’d love to learn:
• What’s your core strategy or edge?
• What indicators or data do you rely on most?
• How long did it take you to refine it into something consistent?
• Are you trading spot, futures, forex, or something else?
• How do you manage risk and avoid overfitting in your backtests?
I’m not looking to copy anyone’s system — just trying to understand what separates the bots that actually work from the ones that don’t. Any insights, lessons learned, or even failures you can share would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Open on Reddit r/TradingView by u/Ornery_Toe5645 6mo ago Why nobody talks about trading bots and automated strategies? Given the plenty of instruments TradingView offers to create strategies and alert their signals, why nobody talks about trading bots, webhook connectors, providers, API's in here? Last discussions on this topic are years old in this sub. Are people using TV strategies to manually enter positions?
Open on Reddit r/TradingView by u/Can_DougieBoy 4mo ago Tradingview SUCKS I used to like tradingview but lately it has been slow and failing to close positions, and taking forever to enter positions. When it comes to Futures you need to be able to get in and out as quickly as possible.
One sell order took 3 minutes to execute on the Futures S&P 500 Micro. By then all my earnings were gone.
Gonna look for a different program and they can have my money.
Open on Reddit r/Daytrading by u/Smooth_Ferret8081 1mo ago Been day trading for 10 days, am I doing alright? Been doing long term investing since April 2020 and I have decided to do day trading (with a little of swing trade) since 4/10 with intention to make extra income by taking advantage of daily swing. It was about 10 trading days and I have made $2400, roughly $250/ day. Made a lot from Allbirds AI bullshit and ASTS swing trade. I could have made $8000 one day from Allbirds if I have sold later on the day. I basically trade for 1.5 hours after market opens, close my position, log off and do my daily full time job. It’s definitely fun to learn how to view stock trends on TradingView, how to use 20ma and 50ma and read candlesticks. Rose Cameron warrior trading YouTube free videos also give out lots of great content to learn from. I don’t keep my P&L journal as I think it’s quite time consuming. I am quite a patient and conservative person and I don’t like high risk therefore I do not really have losing days just yet, therefore my daily gain is not whole lot either.
Do you suggest me to sell some more gainers from long term investment account and move more fund to day trading account?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Open on Reddit r/options by u/RdyPdy 9mo ago Results after 1 month auto-trading options (~$150k account) Results recap after my first full month bot trading options with live accounts - approximately 7% return on allocated capital.
Ive been options trading manually for over 5 years and have run many paper trade bots. I finally decided to go hard with live accounts on strategies that paper traded very well.
Primary strategies are iron condors on SP index sectors, ORB iron butterflies (1DTE), ORB calls/puts depending on direction of breakout on QQQ. I try to stay delta neutral on the non ORB strategies
Currently about $150k allocated to these bots but not all are currently trading due to low IV environment.
So far very happy with results and in September I hope to increase return on risk closer to 20%. Im fine if win rate drops to get there as my goal return on risk is 25%.
Happy to answer questions or share more specific analytics
Open on Reddit r/TradingView by u/Safe-Obligation-3370 3mo ago Finding a way to automate strategies without knowing Pine Script I have been using TradingView for a while now but I always hit a wall when it comes to Pine Script. I have these strategy ideas in my head but I am not a coder and hiring someone on Fiverr to write scripts for me has been a hit or miss.
Recently I started testing out BeeTrade for the execution and strategy building side of things. What caught my attention was the no code builder since it actually lets me plug in my logic without touching any code. I have been connecting it to my broker and so far the sync seems okay.
I am curious if anyone else here has moved their execution away from the native TV alerts to a dedicated AI platform like BeeTrade or if you guys just stick to custom scripts? I am trying to see if there are any major drawbacks to this ""no code"" approach that I might be missing before I go all in on my live account.
Would love to hear how you guys handle the automation part if you aren't a programmer.
Open on Reddit r/Daytrading by u/Lewiskyisme 6mo ago What trading tool is worth paying for? Hey everyone,
I’m a full-stack developer who’s been exploring the trading space, and I’m curious about what kind of tools traders *really* find valuable enough to pay for.
I don’t want to build another generic charting app or signal bot that nobody uses. Instead, I’d love to hear directly from you:
* What’s the biggest pain point you face day‑to‑day?
* If a dev like me built a tool to solve it, what would make you actually pull out your wallet?
* Do you prefer automation (e.g., trade execution, alerts), analytics (e.g., backtesting, portfolio dashboards), or workflow helpers (e.g., journaling, risk calculators)?
I’m not here to sell anything right now, just trying to understand the market from the people who live it. Your feedback will help me design something practical instead of another “nice‑to‑have.”
***UPDATE***
Alright legends, after that avalanche of responses (y’all really said “here’s my entire pain-point autobiography”), I just wanted to drop a quick note…
I’ve officially got something cooking. 🔥
Not another cookie-cutter bot, not a recycled dashboard, an actual tool shaped directly by what you all screamed about in the comments.
Give me about a week.
Let me
Open on Reddit r/options by u/SWCajun73 10mo ago TOS limiting my activity while scalping Mid-day yesterday a restriction got placed on my account where I could only sell open positions and not initiate any new positions. Called into Support to be told I am canceling too many orders during the day. They told me my account would remain restricted until I commit to changing my strategy.
I asked for specifics since the seems like an odd thing to complain about and was just told that a senior risk manager flagged my account and that any other specifics were not available. I asked to speak to this risk manager only to be told they are not customer facing. Limits on canceled orders are not spelled out anywhere and their terms of service. All they did was send me a screenshot of a clause that basically says they can do whatever they want, change whatever they want, etc. And there’s nothing you can do about it. I asked how many canceled orders is considered excessive and they said around 1000 per day per client. They gave no context as to why canceled orders are a big deal.
I’m not going to change my strategy but I know TOS will shut down my account if I continue. So I am looking around at other platforms and was curious if there are any active scalpers who have found a pla
Open on Reddit r/options by u/sacpate 7mo ago Anyone here automated their SPX credit spreads or iron condors to manage risk? I’ve been trading SPX credit spreads for a while, and the hardest part isn’t picking direction — it’s managing the trade once you’re in.
Stops, trailing exits, and emotions mess things up way more than the setup itself.
I built a small bot for myself that connects to IBKR and:
• Places and adjusts stop/limit orders automatically
• Closes spreads early if ATR/ADX conditions flip
• Recovers state after restart or TWS hiccups
• Logs everything so I can review risk per trade
It doesn’t predict — it just executes my plan perfectly.
I’m wondering: would other options traders actually pay for a platform that automates execution + risk management (not signals)?
If so:
• What would make you trust it? (audit logs, paper-trade mode, full broker transparency?)
• What would a fair monthly price be?
• Would you want to customize your own spread logic, or just automate entries/exits?
Not selling anything — just curious if others want to remove the emotion from spread management.
Open on Reddit r/quant by u/Sad-Paramedic-1103 5mo ago Measuring Execution Slippage Due to Queue Positioning in Index Options Market Making Hi, I am working on a high-frequency **market-making strategy** in the **index options market**. The strategy involves placing, modifying, and cancelling limit orders based on a trading signal derived from a regression model.
In my backtesting framework, I am able to model and simulate several sources of execution slippage, such as latency and response delays from the exchange. However, I am struggling to accurately estimate **slippage arising from queue positioning in the order book** specifically, the cost associated with not being at the front of the queue and therefore not getting filled at the intended price.
I would like to understand:
* What is the **industry-standard approach** to measuring slippage in high-frequency market-making strategies?
* How do practitioners **quantify slippage due to queue position**, including the impact of delayed or missed fills that occur because the order is behind other liquidity at the same price level?
Any insights into commonly used metrics, modelling approaches, or empirical techniques for isolating and measuring queue-related slippage would be greatly appreciated.
