This is the first wave of articles to be opened up to free subscribers. This list includes two strategies.

Disclaimer: the following post is an organized representation of my research and project notes. It doesn’t represent any type of advice, financial or otherwise. Its purpose is to be informative and educational. Backtest results are based on historical data, not real-time data. There is no guarantee that these hypothetical results will continue in the future. Day trading is extremely risky, and I do not suggest running any of these strategies live.

My last indicator post (The Stochastic Indicator) was available to free subscribers. I announced in the last SITREP that I was going to be converting some of my older posts into free posts, with goal being that paid subscribers will have access to strategy posts and all updated code on the GitHub repo. This allows me to post more content for free. Since simple development is becoming more second nature, I can also shift focus to providing more content that is tailored to the paid subscriber community, such as a weekly or daily economic report to assist traders who trade equity index assets.

Anyway, I am going to list the articles that have been opened up to free subscribers below. I plan on doing this in phases, so I don't have to do too much thinking at one time. I also have some subscriber goals attached to this process. I would love to get to a point where I can actually just completely open the pqt under an open-source license. It will be a little bit before the library is ready for general use, but once it is, and I feel comfortable with the community, I will convert it to an open license.

For now, I am going to open up some past articles, one of which is actually going to be a strategy post. I won't be able to open up any of the Strategies that came from ATS, for obvious reason, but I am going to open up some of my earlier strategies as examples of how I look at strategy development. I will add an update to any strategy that is opened that explains why I opened the strategy or if it is depreciated etc.

Enjoy!

The code for strategies and the custom functions/framework I use for strategy development can be found at the Hunt Gather Trade GitHub. This code repository will house all code related to articles and strategy development. If there are any paid subscribers without access, please contact me via e-mail. I do my best to invite members quickly after they subscribe. That being said, please try and make sure the e-mail you use with Substack is the e-mail associated with GitHub. It is difficult to track members otherwise.

Feel free to comment below or e-mail me if you need help with anything, wish to criticize, or have thoughts on improvements. Paid subscribers can access this code and more at the private HGT GitHub repo. As always, this newsletter represents refined versions of my research notes. That means these notes are plastic. There could be mistakes or better ways to accomplish what I am trying to do. Nothing is perfect, and I always look for ways to improve my techniques.
