Final Universe Update

As of this evening, I have added NSSC to the Final Universe.

I have NSSC avg daily volume at 109,100 which is below the 200k minimum. Does this match your data?

 

Very Strange. NSSC made it through my filters today, but when I check tonight, I show volume at 112,000 shares. I do not know how NSSC made it through the culling process earlier in the evening. I will recheck it tomorrow to make sure some sort of data snafu did not occur.

Thanks for alerting me to the discrepancy.

I entered into a long position with MTEX this morning receiving a fill price of $13.76 USD. Later, price triggered my stop leaving me with a small profit. Basically, this is a wash trade.

Thanks again for mentioning this discrepancy. I appreicate it. After double check the average daily volume this morning, I plan to go ahead and remove NSSC due to the volume falling outside my ideal parameters. I still have no idea how NSSC made it through the culling filters.

Thanks again for the heads up.

No problems at all.

I'm trying to automate the entry into positions, since it is difficult to watch the markets during the day from Australia.

I'm having some initial success and would be happy to share my results if anyone is interested. I'm using Amibroker and IB.

 

I'm sure everyone would find your success enlightening. Feel free to post any contribution you think might prove helpful.
