Adventures in Automation

fan27,

I was wondering if in your testing you factor in profitability during RTH and ETH. Were the closing of your trades evenly dispersed across both time frames and was there any disparity of the win/loss ratio in those two time frames?
I am only trading RTH and all trades/orders are executed during that time. I could easily have my orders (stop or limit) execute outside of RTH but then my backtest would deviate from my live trading which I am want to avoid.
 
Slow month in April with only three trades.

Down .81% for month.
Up 39.72% YTD.

What's the impact of this not so fortunate weekend? I assume the open positions closed immediately when trading resumed?

Yeah was kind of worried, glad you have risk in check. Weekends are nasty (especially with Trump tweeting).

Positions were exited at the market open. Account was down $10k from Friday's close but only lost about $3.3k on the two positions. Not my preferred turn of events but current draw down only at 4.5%.
