Hi, I’m Libor, a guy from the Czech Republic with a passion for trading and a love for music. My journey in trading hasn’t been easy—it’s been filled with mistakes, lessons, and some frustrating setbacks. But eventually, I found the right tools and strategies to make trading work for me. One of those tools is AlgoCloud, which transformed how I approach the markets. Here’s my story of how AlgoCloud helped me finally get consistent results in trading.
Like many traders, my introduction to trading came through flashy ads from forex brokers promising big profits with small deposits. It sounded easy, but reality hit hard when I lost my first deposit within a month. Despite the loss, I was hooked by the idea of making money online. I started studying trading books, browsing forums, and learning everything I could.
I tried day trading futures, specifically e-mini indices, but it was mentally draining. The biggest challenge wasn’t just the technical part—it was dealing with emotions like fear and greed. At times, it felt like trading was consuming me, and I kept breaking my trading rules, which led to more losses.
Frustrated, I turned to automated trading, thinking it would solve the emotional side of trading. I started learning to program strategies in NinjaTrader using C#, but as someone without a programming background, I struggled. Eventually, I gave up, realizing I was spending more time learning to code than trading.
Then, I stumbled upon AlgoCloud—a platform that doesn’t require any coding knowledge. With AlgoCloud’s no-code visual editor, I could create strategies by simply dragging and dropping conditions. No complex coding, just simple logic that I could visually see and understand. This was exactly what I needed to get back to trading without the stress of programming.
My first experience with AlgoCloud was encouraging. I created strategies for stockpicking (choosing individual stocks to trade) using just a few conditions, and I was able to backtest them with real data provided by AlgoCloud. The simplicity of defining two conditions, and having AlgoCloud handle the rest, was a huge relief. I wasn’t spending hours troubleshooting code; I was trading again.
