I run an automated system nearly 24 hours a day and I like to keep a close eye on it just incase. So in order to do this I have an LCD display mounted on an articulated arm next to my bed and have the system wake me up every trade to double check everything.
Last night around 5:20 apparently I woke up and reset my application. It seems that I must have fell back asleep before enabling any of my agents, so my system sat there not trading until I woke up later that morning. The only problem with this is that I don't remember doing any of it! Which leads me to believe I might have been still asleep (or half) when I did it.
Have any of you dealt with this issue? Or am I the first one dumb enough to experience it?
Is there any tricks I could employ to make sure I am awake enough to make decisions, maybe have my system ask me to perform a simple math problem before it gives me access to the system, difficult enough that i couldn't perform them while asleep.
