I meant luckily, not hopefully

[GlenPeake]

Nah… you’re not alone Omar…… my NDX Rotational has gone into some steep drawdown this month….. the ASX Rotational, is doing better…. i.e. still down but not as steep as the NDX.

I think the US Momo system(s) would be/are performing better this month compared to the NDX/ASX100 systems.

In ‘general’ terms, I think trading has been fairly choppy across ‘most’ systems this month….

[SaidBitar]

I am around 35% DD (FEB + MAR) but this month is worst than the previous

[JulianCohen]

Some of my systems are down 30 odd percent, but the others are down a lot less and help smooth out the equity curve. My total account is only down 2% YTD….

Diversification in action

[Howard Lask]

Similar results here and benefitting from diversification of systems too – overall I’m slightly up (4% YTD), short term systems have compensated for NDX rotation (down 11% YTD)

Thanks you all for your feedback.
We are ll in this together, and it shall pass too.

Hello guys,
I recently purchased teh API for my MOC systems. Went through the docs and followed the steps. Unfortunately, the API is crashing when I upload the CSV orders file.
Anyone experienced this issue at the start?

Thanks a lot
Omar

[Nick Radge]

Things to check:

1. Decimal sare US standard “.” and not European “,”
2. Ensure all orders are limited to two decimal places, and none are 3 or more
3. Ensure the API port number is the same as the IB TWS port number

[ScottMcNab]

I had that quite a few times (with the previous API version though) Omar and I found it had something to do with my csv file. When it happened, I would go back into Ami, re-export the orders into excel and save and nearly always it would then load ok into the API. I never found out exactly what I was doing different to cause it to crash. I am using 6 systems and typically in would happen on only one of those maybe once a week.

[OmarAouane]

Thanks Nick and Scott.
I will try out your advices and revert.
cheers
