Stage 4 (Month 2) day 10:
Finally, the cloudflare product testing initial result has been a little bit misleading. Believe it or not, the good trading session on day 1 ended up being a cruel coincidence.
maybe it speeds up things a bit but speed is not my #1 issue anymore. Maybe 6 months ago, my system was missing several hundreds of dollars worth of trades daily because of speed but I guess that markets have matured since then. They are more efficient or bigger traders with 1+ million trading volume reap everything with their smaller fees before anything reach what can be profitable to me with my higher fees. The end result being that those several hundreds of dollars of potential profits have dried out... They are not there anymore... Is it a cyclical thing or they are gone for good? idk but knowing the answer won't help me. I need keep going and explore other directions
Bottomline, I have declared optimization hunting season over. There is no point for me to actively focus on speeding up further the system. In a strange way, this realization feel like a relief.
This allows me to move to the next todo element in my roadmap which is porting my system to other exchanges. I have the feeling that this is going to be a painful exercise and some part of me must have postponed for as long as possible this task to avoid the pain... but the decision has been taken that this would be the next task. There is a part of my mind that has already started the design to make the code support multiple exchanges in the mental space... Based on prior experience, the work is halfway done when I start visualizing it as done in my mind... This is where my mental state is...
Success is not easy... There is a lot of fumbling around before finally getting there...
