The Failure of My 100% C++ Trading Application: A Full Breakdown Thread Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Informative)
Introduction
After 30+ years of coding experience, I decided to challenge myself: build an entire trading application using 100% C++ with no compromises.
The result? A humbling failure.
But failure is the best teacher, and I want to share what happened, what I learned, and what the community taught me during a recent live stream discussion.
Part 1: The Starting Point
When I began this project, my thinking was:
My Python Pipeline Generates 3,600 Strategies Daily — Here's Why Only ~36 Are Actually Deployable
Date: August 2026 Tag: Systematic Trading | Algorithmic Strategies | Risk Management
Hey everyone,
Been running this systematic pipeline for a while now and wanted to share some real numbers from today's output. Maybe it'll spark some discussion on strategy filtering and live deployment.
TL;DR:
Generated 3,600 backtested strategies today
After Barchart liquidity validation + composite risk scoring = 36 deployable (about 1%)
