idk where I am in the cycle. I keep using stage 4 since I have completed my last full cycle....
I kinda lost the desire to journal...
I have just put in place a new trading alpha model...
AFAIK, it has not yet been triggered...
However, very old bugs have resurfaced...
One did show up last week-end... the other one just did happen...
The first one is in my threaded logging module code. No idea why this has just popped out now... I have not touch the code for more than 2 years and it did work flawlessly since then...
I was really annoyed by this event as I was on the verge on completing my latest idea and investigating the problem and finding the fix easily took 2 precious days of my time...
However, the problem was legit and the end result is that my logging code is new better than it was before....
The bug that did show up now is much more recent... It dates back to a major refactoring that I did in February this year... The bug was dormant since then... It is just that the code in which it was has not been invoked since then.... The major market drop made the markets crazy and the trade client did finally go in this code...
I am not sure what is happening... I have noticed lately that my client was doing much more trading than usual despite the client base code did not change much... It is the markets that are changing...
Strangely, it does not translate into a much increased income.... The increased profit is erased by the newer less mature strategies that I still need to finetune...
that being said... all these old bugs resurfacing, I see that as a positive sign that something good is about to happen...
The sudden crypto market drop did make my client generate about 700 trades in 20 minutes and to trade a volume of about $10K...
The last bug made the trading session end abruptly because of a core dump... This will not ever happen again...
Now, I am about to address a third very old bug that has just resurfaced...
All those 3 bugs are excellent good catches...
