Optimization of Strategy Intraday//
-
Dear Definedge Team,
First of all, thank you for offering such a wonderful product. I have been wanting to become a systematic trader, and with that goal in mind, I started using Algostra. Building strategies here is super easy, and deploying them with Algostra is the cherry on the cake.
I built a few strategies and backtested them in parts, using the following periods:01-01-2026 to 30-06-2026
01-01-2025 to 30-06-2025
01-07-2025 to 31-12-2025The reason for choosing these periods was to find a strategy that could generate returns in non-trending markets. I have attached screenshots of the backtests for your reference — the results look good.
However, along with the convenience Algostra offers comes another challenge: even though the backtest results look promising, I don't believe this strategy will be able to generate real profits due to transaction costs. Could you kindly suggest ways to reduce transaction costs without diluting the efficiency of the strategy?
As fellow traders, you'll understand that it takes considerable effort and time to develop a workable strategy. I have worked hard on building and backtesting this one, and I would really appreciate your guidance so that this effort doesn't go to waste.
Separately, I'd also like to suggest that Definedge consider introducing a fixed brokerage plan. This would be very helpful for Algostra users looking to scale their strategies, as scaling isn't really feasible without a fixed-cost structure in place.
Thank you for your time and support.
Regards,
