Before I talk about algotrading or stock trading, I want to tell my story about how I came to it. My name is Sergey Deleu. I am from the city of Odessa in Ukraine. Since my school years, I have been interested in programming. Then I studied at Odessa Polytechnic University but did not finish. Then the army.

 After six years of service, I left the army. For some time I worked as an instrumentation and control technician at a gas pipeline. At that time I got married and had a son. I enrolled again in OPU but by correspondence. But my family life did not last long. 

After the divorce, I had more free time and I became interested in web development, as well as, was interested in various ways to earn money on the network. 

I dropped out of university again after a year of study. When I was returning home after the last study session on the bus I talked to a man who was involved in stock trading. I became interested in the subject. When I understood the elementary tools I decided to try to trade for real money. I wanted to cheat the market, and open positions in different directions. As it seemed to me at that moment, I would close profitable positions as the market moved in my direction. But as you understand, I successfully drained my first deposit. And then I decided that there must be some system. I started to study stock trading more deeply.

As I searched and studied various information about stock trading, I came across such a topic as automated trading systems. Then I started to study in more detail the automation of trading systems based on the specialized programming language MQL4, which was developed by the metaquotes team specifically for stock trading. At some point, when I had studied this topic enough, the same acquaintance presented me with a trading system, which was based on the fact that the first step was to open two positions in buy and sell, with takeprofit twice as big as stoploss. It was assumed that if the market went to one side, one position would close at the stop and the other at the profit, which would cover the loss. But if one position closes at the stop and the other position does not reach the profit, the price will turn in the opposite direction, from the level of the stop of the first position two more positions are opened in both directions with double lot. Those with experience in developing trading systems will understand what we are talking about, but if you are confused do not worry, maybe later I will explain it more clearly. But now it is not about that.

I started to automate this trading system. As I remember at that moment in the process of development I faced such a problem that the buy and sell prices at one moment differed by the value of spread, which created complexity in the automation of this trading system. But this was not the main problem. When the trading system algorithm was developed, I started testing the trading system on historical data. The most annoying thing was that if in some period the price would move to the corridor between two extreme takeprofit levels, it could lead to the deposit drawdown to the liquidation level.

Then I thought about developing a trading system that would work on the sideways movement and cover the drawdown of the first trading system. But some other things (I will not go into details now) distracted me from trading. Then I switched back to web development, then studied C++, C#, .NET.

In 2021 I went to work in Poland. In my free time, I practiced .NET, WinForms, and WPF. I currently live in Canada. At one point I thought about the fact that I need to choose something I want to do and earn money from. Considered such options as freelancing, and the development of sites for contextual advertising, but stopped on the fact that it is necessary to start with crypto. I believe that this is the most promising direction for both experienced traders and those who are just beginning to study this topic. I will explain why I chose cryptocurrency in my next posts. In the next post, I will report on my investments in cryptocurrency and explain how you can already earn quite safely and steadily with even a small initial deposit of $100.

If you are interested in the topic of stock trading, automation of trading systems, and development of various software products that facilitate and automate various processes related to the analysis and trading on financial markets, then leave your comments or write back through the feedback form.

We will share our experiences. I am not a professional in stock trading, but I am not a beginner either. I am sure that we will have something to talk about if you are serious. I want to say right away that you will not be able to earn a million dollars at a run, you will have to study this topic thoroughly.

But I want to say that even without enough experience, even after a few months you can reach an income of 10% per month. I will show you how to do it with real examples in the next articles.
