This is turning out to be a shitty savings account algo lol
It is interesting that as the market was dropping, your algo managed to outperform the market, so this was very positive. But now that there was a huge rally the past 2 days, it didn't seem to benefit from this, which clearly sucks for you. I love the above analysis which is both accurate and comical, and thank you for sharing your real world results!

Let's see how it looks in 2-3 months. Too few data points to draw any conclusion

How many trades is this so far? Its almost kind of strange that the PnL isn't moving anywhere.

I'm averging in about 2-3 trades/day i think. I use a pretty strict b/e function so this algo will show at least 50% breaeven days. The other 50% is small incremental profit.

Like I said earlier, this algo will net aroudn 3-4% a month, and +40% per year (at least from teh backtests). If I can get that year to year, I'm good with it.

I don't have to sit and wait for trades all night, waiting for alerts and all of that like I used to.

Just pay my monthly vps and focus on work and family.
 
There is life! Out of curiosity, would you show us a chart with the trades plotted? I'm curious what the algo is doing.
