Running almost the same program as yesterday. Yesterday's results: 1 trade (the aforementioned short), 0 pts. The stop moved up almost...
Took the first (good) short at 2712 today but not the second (bad) one. Sweet! [img]
I think it's a good discussion to have (not focusing on me, but in general): when should an automated trader write some/all of his own stuff, vs....
Today I anticipate the availability of good day trades on both sides, so I've got breakout entries set up around yesterday's high and the 2697...
Tue: 4 trades: -4.00, 0, -0.25, +10.00 net +5.75
Mon: 1 trade, +4.75 Today: more buy programs (b/o of the premarket high plus buying @ couple of potential support levels)
Some architecture notes-- What I've done is create an API on top of the TWS API for the construction of trading programs. There is an...

I decided to run market-profile type trades right now on the NQ. It's basically the opposite of what failed this morning. What are the chances...
I've never been so happy about losses in my life. I was totally and completely wrong in three trades and lost a grand total of 4.00 NQ points...
Here we go... NQ: a hinge is forming, so I'll go with a breakout on either side of the premarket range. Here's the log file thus far (it could...
Simulated success ... it traded both the breakout of Friday's high and the pullback to 2630 in the NQ today. Everything was perfect. Real $...
