Long term traders get touchy when you touch the surface of what they do I guess
glad it's just competetive *banter* 
- take care both!

Can an experienced trader explain how you can determine what constitutes a potentially good day of trading?
For example, is it the volume matched in the mornings? Or, is it where the races take place? Or is it prize money?
Many thanks

Cardinal sin! I'm sure Peter Le would be slapping those wrists if her were on. You MUST have every possible influencing factor logged and recorded in a meaningful way if successful long-term strategies are to be refined, honed, tweaked and maximised.Samo154 wrote:Another poor day :/ I changed my auto the other day and it's all going wrong!

+1 put your automation folder under git or dropbox so that you can track any changes and revert back when it all goes wrongCrazyskier wrote:Cardinal sin!

a useful convention to adopt (even if using a code repository) is to version your automation rule files. i tend to start off with something like:LinusP wrote:+1 put your automation folder under git or dropbox so that you can track any changes and revert back when it all goes wrongCrazyskier wrote:Cardinal sin!

Golden Ticket B2L v1.0
and then when subsequent changes are made, i either increment the minor number if, it's a small change, or take it to a new version if it's a substantial change, i.e.:
Minor change: Golden Ticket B2L v1.2
Major change: Golden Ticket B2L v2.0
this way, you can always get back to a good place and it also allows you to comparatively test changes in parallel, without losing your context. also, if you document the change that each revision brings, you can quickly get a feel for the impact of successive changes, just by reading the changelog.
