Never Waste a Good Tragedy

Yesterday was my worst one day loss since I began trading.  To be blunt, it sucked.  I have broken my diversification rules and exposed myself excessively to the LED industry.  I haven’t adjusted this yet, because I have the conviction of a lunatic.

After spoiling myself with iron work after the bell, I had tones of energy.  Pair that with the massive flesh wound the market opened up and I had the motivation to recode and recalibrate Elroi on the NASDAQ using my new delicious and powerful data.  I have built a beast algo and guess what?  Elroi thrives in volatility and “gets by” profitably the rest of the time.  Aka, he’s built to earn coin while longs get roasted and does so nearly 24 hours/day.

Why am I telling you all this?  Do I intend to sell said algo to you, the internet?  Goodness no.  I built a machine that I put $2000 into and it pays my mortgage.  Exercise induced insomnia and a financial tragedy were the spark that rebuilt Elroi better than ever.  Stat heads, behold the glory:

      It puts one contract on, then it emails me to a special box that ding dongs, then I go look at what he’s doing and contemplate adding and adjusting stops if I choose. Otherwise he exits autonomously.

      You need really clean data piped into Multicharts where you write the code upon which it executes.
