I have completed sunday implementing my latest idea... I was thinking that maybe it had the potential to be a game changer. It is not...
it is not a total waste... it may have helped in generating 3-5% more trades than without it... Success is hard... it is a perpetual grinding process where mini successes are accumulated...
but the process has been satisfying... I got an idea... I did implemented it and I saw it working... Experience is coming in... Sunday evening has been very exciting in terms of price action... It did trigger a lot my system to trade...
not everything went fine but the whole session did highlight new issues that have been promptly fixed...
I am not even sure if someday or at least for few days in row... my system will not experience any issue at all... but it getting better... even days where it experience losses... My first feeling is that it is bad... and as I crank up the trading budget, the loss numbers are getting bigger... the bigger the loss, the more painful it is... However once, I fetch the activity summary report... the gains even out the losses and ends up make the day positive or at least very close to be breakeven...
Again, out of nowhere, a very rarely feature got triggered and I broke it by a factoring made many months ago... the problem went unnoticed for that long since the feature has not been used since I made the refactoring... Very subtle and nasty problems.... I have fixed both...
again, it was a very rewarding experience. now that the feature got fixed... that one too has the potential to be profitable if it works properly. If my system detects a profitable cycle... Usually what is available is much larger than my trading budget. So my system was travelling the cycle once and after waited for the next trigger... I have worked a looping feature... once the cycle is traversed, as long as the path remains valid, it will loop over it again and again... The bug was corrupting the data structure after the first iteration and it had a hard time to do more than 4-5 loops without bailing out due to errors...
I am looking forward seeing it looping with the fixes in...
