Stage 3, day 23:
Almost done. 2 mini baby tasks remaining before its first flight.
I think that I'm good to finish this before dinner and make the first system test later tonight!
edit: Done!!!!
Finally, the initial ARB system prototype is up and running.
Now, I just need to wait for it to detect trading opportunities. It could happen soon or it could take hours before it happens. Those opportunities happens in sudden bursts and clusters.
I'm playing it safe for the first run to avoid potential overlooked bug to empty my account while I sleep. I'm limiting to 1 trade. The goal here is just to see how the code behave and catch any remaining bugs, if any.
Because of where I run the program, it is a bit slower than what it could be and since it is only the first version of my Execution Engine, it is a bit simple and dumb. Next iteration (maybe tonight or tomorrow) it is going to be more dynamic and this will compensate for the slow reactions.
Iteration #3 could be: dynamic + fast execution for very good results to come I hope...
I'm going to take few minutes to celebrate this important milestone that I have been working for so hard since the start of the year...
