11/26/21: Week 5
Well not the most exciting week, still learning, testing new features on the algo and testing the new algo that is in development: Still not great at posting regularly, but will keep working on this, will use the blog as a bit of a trade diary as well going forward.
11/20/21: Week 4
Certainly a up and down week, rough day for algo trading with news events mid week. All in all the week ended green, good weekly average. Working with the developers at AlgoNinja for the next and newest algo to trade, which should help with some of the bad trades from this week.

So the subject says it all but these days will happen, here are the results for the day: These are definitely tough to handle, but there were lessons to be learned. The primary lesson for the day is to NOT trade on big news days, here is the chart for the Algo: Trades: Loss, TradeContinue reading “10/13/21: Tough Day”
10/12/21: Day Two Results
As I said in prior posts I have been really working to rethink my trading style, tons of old habits to try to break, but in general larger risk with much larger reward. Last week I did do some trading on some Algo settings, adjusting and playing with mixed results. This week after the experienceContinue reading “10/12/21: Day Two Results”
10/10/21: Trading Algos Unattended
I have been trading for a couple of years now, both manually and with Algos either written by myself (bad Idea) or using systems developed by professionals. Initially I was trying to run on a machine at home that I would remote into as needed to check how things were going. What I learned: HomeContinue reading “10/10/21: Trading Algos Unattended”
