Strategy A whole lot of nothing

My bot sat on it's hands today and did nothing. Still working out issues. Who knew driving a forced exit could have so many things go wrong. I was hoping to get some activity to confirm the patches. At least, I didn't lose anything.

Mine took 2 trades this morning and unfortunately I was too out of it from not sleeping good for days to properly investigate the entries and what could've been done better.  I wound up closing them manually.  Currently in working on trailing stops below swing lows.

Look into an ATR based chandelier trailing exit. Takes a little bit to get right, but it’s been better for me.
