Stage 4 (Month 2) day 6:
There was an email laying in my mailbox for a week or 2. It was from someone at Cloudflare that I did talk with few times last year.
Despite all the attempts their engineers tried to find a solution to speed up my connection time with the exchange, nothing good never came out of that...
I like the guy, he keep buzzing me once in a while with new ideas... Like the email he sent me between christmas and NYE.
I was thankful for the ideas the email was containing but I was skeptic that nothing it contains would actually be of any help...
Despite not believing in the idea, I gave it a shot... After 2 days of fumbling around installing proprietary Cloudflare software on my server and modifying my software to be able to interface with Cloudflare software, the whole setup finally started to work by the end of the afternoon...
Initial test numbers did show some substantial improvement... I have tried to stay prudent... I have been fooled so many times lately with false hopes. I said to myself that this could be luck... Latency with server fluctuates a lot depending of the exchange trading volume...
I stopped working to relax and cook up dinner... Finalizing the Cloudflare software setup was the milestone I was waiting to reach before calling it a day
So far so good... When I came back to my computer after dinner in late evening, the trading system did trade very well during my absence... It starts to feel real this time but there is a part of me that remains skeptic... crypto markets happens to be very volatile tonight... This type of volatility is usually very fertile for my system... The skeptic part of me thinks that this might be some coincidence....
I need more time to be 100% convinced that the latest experiment is actually fruitful....
but it starts to look like I did finally stumble into something that makes a real difference...
