Stage 1, day 12:
I have completed integrating my market data graph code with live feed data. I did squash out a lot of problems with the code. Giving me a robust and solid foundation on which I can build further.
The last 2 days have been for polishing the code. I kinda like that part. It let you discover small details that you have overlooked and the result is concrete and immediate.
I had this great feeling of accomplishment when I started seeing graph plotted and slowly slide to the right in the default 1h long window as the data was coming in. I had clear picture in mind of what I wanted it to look like, it is even better in reality.
The whole point of this whole 12 days exercise was to be able to plug the initially simple trading algo and see visually where it opens/closes positions. Without graphs, it is hard conclude anything if it is right or wrong by looking at a mountain of numbers.
So I'm at the start of the pluging process and this makes me looking back at work that I did around December 30. It is not that long ago... but my first impression when I looked back into what I did then... It is like it was something a stranger wrote... It took some time to get back into the mindset I had when I wrote those things... pretty sure some can relate to that feeling...
