ES bot took 1 short today that was against the trend. It ended up with 11 ticks stop loss.

E7 bot did not take any trades today. I have made changes in E7 bot this weekend to ignore pivot point and support/resistance lines. It may not be a good idea, but because I am running it on 30 minutes chart my profit target always comes across some S/R lines. So let's see how it goes.

No manual live trades today.

No trades on ES bot today. E7 bot took 1 trade, but then exited at BE because I set it up to exit after 3.30pm.

No live trades today as well.

Huge upward movement today and ES tried to take another short today. Lost by 11 ticks. So now it's net -22 ticks for this week. I think I need to monitor bot manually when market is in strong trend.

E7 took 1 trade that exited at BE. Same trade was a loss on M6E because of large spreads.

ES bot did not take any trades today. Very choppy market in morning. Sharp move down after 3pm.

E7 bot took one long but market was down so it ended up with a stop loss.

Hi Mike,
I gave it a thought. Yes I will publish it in Battle of the bots thread. Thank you for suggesting that.

No trades on ES bot today as well. 1 trade on E7 but it was a loser. I have no reason why it lost. I will consider it as a normal loss.
