    So this is why you test before you deploy. Found a bug in an Un-updated library function that was resetting the daily goal after it calculated it twice (two bugs). So the goal could never be reached. In the process found another anomaly in a function not being imported (3rd bug). So Bottom...

    Going up a long time at lunch time is a recipe for a move, mostly likely down for good trade or at least before going up again. It needs a reset before any new trades are put on.

    how do you think like a trader?

    You are chasing your own tail. Trying to "figure out" what others are "doing" or "their situation", is like trying to figure out which cup of water came from which land in the ocean. Instead of trying to "figure out", consider trying to come up with a situation and response. You see this, do...

    GM all, Algo: 5 trades 80% win rate: Net -6 ticks. Will let it run to the close. It hit goal t 5 trades and got greedy!

    Swing Trading the ARK Universe

    Buying IRDM Adding 200 here. Bought both double bottoms on SBUX. Looking to escape ALAB soon. HOOD went to BE and back to a good gain. Seems like a swing tradable stock.

    Well I stand corrected!!! Certainly, a nice move up, but not the thing you stick around for a HUGE move. The PM Open is now done and it is time for the larger players to come back

    I think HOD double top is a more likely scenario. Any test or piercing, with a volume spike will be met with selling initially, and probably the best R:R sell point for a long.

    My SSDs & HDDs keep on disconnecting

    1) Probably OK 3) did you clean the contacts on the drives? Fine grit abrasive, then alcohol clean up? Sometimes the connects will get dirty from a previous bad connection.

    Done for the day Manual trading: 22 trades for 44 ticks. But had a MAE of 3 contracts for 44 points each. So overall a very bad day of trading.

    Volume on the spikes down is adding up. I think the strategy is re-configure the big bomb as smaller ones spaced apart (notice the time intervals), and hope the fear of a big bomb keeps the price favorable until the algo reaches completion. A case where volume tells a story too. Now it is...

    Seems like a good place to pause and 1) there has been enough movement today, i.e. players played. 2) it is also a good place above 50 to drop a few more bombs. @Nighthawk the EMA200 daily was the test. Now it is a matter of playing the rebound BEFORE the next test, if it even happens...

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    I had no idea, a change of CEO would be greeted so bullish. I think the bottom is in for now. Or at least until the honeymoon phase is over. It is probably a good rotation out of tech stock too.

    Tough one! Shakeout with an overshoot, then the rally into the close, which it is giving back AH. Much respect to @schizo. This week for me is Sim Algo. It did 5 trades for 33 ticks, and was done before that big drop. All systems are working so far with the exception of getting external...
