GM All: 5 trades 80% win, net 15 ticks. I am liking this put the all my efforts into the code and let it run. The Algo has much better discipline than me at 6:30 AM! Edit-Update: Two more trades. Was long for that drop before the pre lunch move up, so ended up BE. Caught a small scalp ont he way down. 7 trades net +24 ticks
EOD update: 12 trades 66% win rate, net -9 ticks. As it turns out, I think the Algo was not connected to the broker the AM. I was adjusting stuff late last night and I think I forgot to re-connect.... Still smoothing out the workflow.
I do! I've felt that new highs would be here soon since last week. I don't know if the new highs will stick and hold, but new highs coming this week I feel. I've been assigned a new project at work that's going to keep me very busy for the next 4 to 8 weeks. I'm trying to keep abreast of the charts but not sure I'll be able to carve out much actual trading time until mid-September at the earliest.
