The challenge of making a profit of $1,000 in two weeks

I know you are just playing with it, but if you want to do something that you can trust, add commissions and slippage to the algo.

I can imagine that your dreams will vanish after doing that.

And they call the EA Invincible

 

what’s an EA other than an executive assistant or electronic arts?

 

"Expert advisor", they call it like that on the Metatrader software

that’s an oxymoron right?

 

Would you sell a working strategy? LOL

 

Only as a charitable undertaking on the internet.

 

Ok, next time you have a thought like that, think of me.

 

So what makes you think the dividends are just ROC lol. They can return capital at times to maintain a high dividend which is healthy...and it means you don't pay tax on your own capital being returned.

Also, even if you bought at the worst time (recent highs) you are still up in MSTY with dividends in...how would your non-dividend stock hold up?

 

You are assuming that MSTY will recover its price immediately after setting the dividend date, which might not happen that quickly; otherwise it would be a printing money machine.

 

I'm not assuming anything. I couldn't care less what msty price does lol...I'm in it for the dividends not capital gains. If price drops that just means more dividends on the cheap!
