    Really steady performance.
    You may have already told us, but is your system trading both SPX and NDX or just the latter ?

    No trades today. Had an edit to the algo that I tested today to include a balance check. But apparently, dev screwed up the formula.

    I'm like dude, why would you multiply by the lot size. Should've checked but i didn't think something that simple was going to get screwed up.

    Had the updated algo on yesterday. Got an alert saying that I had 0 balance. Turns out I forgot to select the damn account for the algo to trade on!

    Note to self, always check these things. WOuld've been a decent day today, especially on a red/flat day on the indeces. So damn annoying.

    As an aside I notice you are using QT. I installed it a few days ago and gave it a brief look-through, seems quite robust. How has your experience been with it?

    It's the best damn platform ever. This is coming from a guy who've used cqg desktop, multicharts, sierra charts, tradingview, mt5

    Are you gradually upping the trade size ?
