cycle 2. Stage 4, day 28:
I have tried to complete all the changes that I wanted in the new release until very late yesterday evening. I was very tired and when I have installed the new server and it started trading. It was totally broken. I was so tired that I couldn't think straight so I have decided to pull the plug and leave the server down for the night and look back at the problem first thing in the morning.
I think that when I went to bed, in the first 2 minutes, i knew exactly where the problem was and when I woke up, my intuition was right and I have fixed it in less than 5 minutes.
Now, the nasty silent bug that could have influenced the server performance that I did mention in last entry. I have looked back in the change logs. It has been introduced on 2021-10-15. I would be curious to look what program I was running back then and what I was thinking around that date but without being close to the performance of the fee free trading era... I would say that having this problem gone, it makes my system trades more than with the bug.
I have to be cautious about this conclusion... I have been bitten so many times in the past where I have introduced new features that was happening exactly at the same time with market conditions that was the real cause of the system increased activity.
It will take few days before I am 100% sure about this but so far, it looks good...
Update:
on 2021-10-15, I was running UMSv2. Stage 2 of the first cycle. I have been running UMSv2 for much longer than I was realizing...
It is funny to read what I was doing back then. I was working on a complex feature that I thought back then would change my world. In reality, it is rarely triggered...
Dreaming, thinking big and never doubt that eventually success will happen, I guess that it is the right mindset to have to never give up... Eventually, it will work...
Update 2:
It seems like having taken care of all the urgent fires and that I can return to develop the new feature that could be a game-changer, I feel like some mild procrastination is starting to kick in... Proof of that, I have been writing here instead of working on my system...
I'll kick myself to shake me out of that state... I want to work fast on completing the next feature to see what it does...
Update 3:
I took most of the day resolving another mysterious glitch. I am really obsessed about squashing them all... This annoys me but it is a really important task to get a successful and reliable algorithmic trading system...
