Stage 4, day 2:
I did one more test run yesterday. It did encounter a bunch of minor issues. Even if the trade did fail, the experience was very successful as it did open my eyes on a bunch of possible events that can happen that I wasn't aware before the run.
The run logs did also allow me to squash the last few remaining bugs.
The test run did lead some of my funds being stuck again in the PAXG/XBT market. I did refine further my execution engine to avoid that situation in the future. That is probably the worse that can happen. I would prefer taking a small loss than being stuck in the book for many hours.
I have a faith that the wind will come favorable soon and will let my order to complete but I'm stunned how illiquid and slow this market is. It is painful... I might possibly create some sort of pair blacklist that I would exclude to avoid the current situation. But this is a last resort only solution. The one to blame in the current situation is that my execution engine wasn't clever enough yet.
The bright side of the situation is that it allows me to take a break from the trading project to give some attention to my digital marketing biz. I have a small email backlog that did accumulate in the last few days while I was sprinting to the set goal with my trading project.
I'll need to come back later about the impression that stage 3 left me. I'm a bit in a hurry right now... but I'll say this. Overall, it is great. My project is moving. I'm reaching my goals. I feel like I'm on the path on something that could change my destiny. Nothing less than that... So, I'm very happy of stage 3...
and I'm sure stage 4 will even be better...
So stay tuned... I may have other impressions about stage 3 later and maybe I'm going to write down my expectations for the new stage4.
