Nice writeup. I appreciate the concrete discussion and especially the screenshots. I understand not discussing strategies, but can you elaborate on whether your trading is entirely based on technical analysis, or do you use external (or "alt") data feeds? In other words, is this a mostly closed system with inputs from Polygon and outputs to the IB API, or do you have a more extensive setup of custom data feeds of news sites, twitter, reddit, etc? If so, I'd be curious what challenges you face balancing those with historical backtesting, when some data sources might only have partial historical coverage.
