I have learned a lot by watching my BOTS trade. I had a logic error allowing MM3 to over trade. There were multiple buy/sell transactions in the same bar. I had corrected that but somehow, in switching back and for between my desktop running the BOTs and my laptop, programming and testing, I reintroduced the original.
(Note: This was not an optimization but a eliminating multiple transaction within a single current bar).
The problem with trading is one needs to be right twice!
Last week I lost 1620 on ten loosing trades in a row on my bot in sim. The biggest losers were in the short trades which have not been as good as in the Sim real time as in the back testing. The long trades have behaved better than the back testing so I have stayed with the testing. Glad I have not gone live. I need to watch this more closely in the future.
This week was better, but the short trades have a very low percentage of winners. I need to investigate what is happening.
One mistake I did make that is really inexcusable: When I rolled the new contract (6E 12-15) I set the strategy in the wrong account. My live account. I did make 62.50 but inexcusable.....
