Idiot..

Forgot to set the account again. Feel like I already set the default in chart settings to that account.

So I can't figure out how to set the algo default (indicator format) to select my account .Everytime I restart the vps before the week starts and reopen the platform, it would deselect the account causing the 0 balance alert.

I guess I have to add that to my checklist to make sure the algo is set correctly before week starts."

And therefore no trades ?
 
And also don't be a dumbass and start updates in your vps during the week and forgot about it, and it restarted in the background :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Holy crap dude, if you cited all these papers and took little pieces from each to make your strategy, you have my respect! There is no way that anybody is going to go through all this, so your secret is still safe! But if you wanna show us a chart with some entries, nobody will complain... :D

Interesting. Thanks for sharing those. I'll read it over the holiday which starts tomorrow.

Some questions that doesn't relate to strategy per se if you don't mind talking:

1) Approximately, how much time did you spend learning automation and coding to create this system?

2) Did you code everything yourself or have you had external help, i.e., hiring a programmer?

3) At this point - how much time do you spend maintaining the system? Are you still doing any developments for this particular system or do you consider it completed?

4) Are you looking into new strategies/systems outside this current ORB system? Will you ever consider manual trading again?

Thanks.
