I like posts that call out bs. Your injection of your own stuff has nothing to do in this thread. I recommend you start your own thread and then you can defend or ignore other posts as much as you like. Thanks for keeping this thread "clean".
Tonyf, I trusted you, but having read some of your posts, I don’t believe your story you told in this thread any more. You told complete different story in your own threads. To Op, sorry about the comment regarding Tony’s successful story!
Interesting day. The system woke up and opened quite a few bullish positions throughout the day. Thanks to the afternoon sell-off this put my open PL negative across both strategies. I like to think that my system is smarter than me, but I personally have a very bad feeling about the market going into tomorrow. Thats why I automate strategies vs trading discretionary. It's all about the percentages and my bot can see that clearer than I can. Yes, tomorrow may be a very bad day - but at least according to my strategies going long here is the smarter play (over the long run). Even if this one doesn't work out. Strategy 1: Open PL: -$670 Closed PL: +$15 Net: -$655 Strategy 2: Open PL: -$1,580 Closed PL: -$91 Net: -$1,671 Closed PL Since Inception: +$6,734 MTM PL Since Inception: +$4,484
How was friday was it as bad as you thought it would be? EDIT: Just checked your twitter, looks like a bad day, but at least you didnt go negative for the month. Well done for sticking to system even though you had a strong feeling it was going to be a losing day. In the long run its more important to be process oriented than short term results oriented.
Wasn't as bad as it could have been - but not a good day.

Todays Results. Instead of just including the results, I also included what positions the strategy is currently holding. Perhaps this will spur some conversations.

Good day - followed the market up. Holding a lot of bullish positions - just like a few days ago, I don't necessarily agree with the position the bot is taking.

Great day. Strategy 2 has been MIA all week. Something about the current market is dictating it sits out.
