Cycle 4, stage 4, day 23:
My new model has started to work. I had to correct a bunch of small problems such as closing too soon a winning position...
but I am impressed by the result... Sometime, it detects an opportunity and open a position and because it is under close scrutiny, I go look at the price chart to see if the move makes sense... This morning when it did happen, I concluded that the model made a mistake and detected a false positive but just for the sake of testing the rest of its position management, I am letting the position open only to find out that opening the position was an amazingly good idea that I could simply just not detect myself by looking at the charts...
I am keeping optimizing the model code and I have only let it trade with a $25 budget per position but I am very close to make it trade with a much bigger budget... and for my sanity, I just let it run up to 2 positions simultaneously... I have increased that limit to 4!
It is a bit less exciting than the instantaneous arbitrage result... but the suspense is thrilling as the price is moving very slowly toward profit... I am so glad to have coded the trading strategy... I would have a hard time staying calm and taking rational decision... Right now, I don't have to touch anything...
I feel it is coming...
If I look back one month ago. If there is 1 crucial event that have tipped the balance toward my current situation. I would say that it is the 2 days electric blackout that has broke my thought process and my current pattern and it did force me to find other goals to pursue. This has been a crucial moment. If this did not happen, my effort direction would not have steered in the direction that I went in the last 2-3 weeks...
I am forced to say that there must be some luck in the past events... but you have to receptive to opportunities to grasp them... I think that my 4th UMS cycle is going to be the good one...
