GM All: Live: Algo 6 trades: 66% rate, net +8. I got several discrepancies to track down today between 2 sims, and live. Both of the discrepancies are at +55 and +25 ticks, so worth tracking down. I am pretty sure it comes down to "time of evaluation", which in not a bug but a "feature" and I am coding it up right. @Picaso: Heuristic: doing what I would do, if I were awake, had perfect discipline, in tune with the (pre) market, adjusted for the volatility during the day, adjusting to the PA during the day, the news cycle, the time of day etc.
Chop ended today, although it didn't seem like it on the Open. Believe it or not, but I caught the short today and held it for a big one. Today's LOD was the monthly Open on ES and last week's low area. Nvidia in 10 minutes, I think. Crazy that one stock appears to exert so much influence on the markets. Still have a good shot at closing August green, I think. Then we'll see if we get any sells in September. Funny if it starts already today/tomorrow.
This marks the 4th day of chop. With NVDA reporting shortly, not sure we'll get another one. Time to load up and ride the wave.
Sorry, didn't read your post before posting mine. Anyway, I believe we will very likely break out of the chop zone tomorrow. My thinking is more towards the low than high, but gonna keep my mouth shut for now.
