More than a bit nervous what is going to happen tonight as some decide they don’t want to hold over weekend while news floods us with info on covid-19… could be a blood bath…glad I’m not trying to make considered decisions at time like this :S
Hmm…error in a trade last night but looks like lucky break
order to buy NTNX went thru to TWS from API
I’m not sure why didn’t get a fill ? Not complaining obviously (unless bounces tomorrow in which case will transition instantaneously to furious and righteous indignation) but interested
Watched it last night…even though I was allowing a 2% leeway in calculating amount to enter into DDE, my account equity was even lower than this after the open (maybe some FX effect in there too?) than I had estimated when constructed orders a few hours earlier…so IB cancelled order for last stock to be sent to TWS as insufficient funds and no longer margin account…happened again last night in both RUI and RUA systems…might try taking 5% off equity
Looking deeper, interesting to see trades that would have taken on those days where ASX tanked….not enough trades to make a difference to system or to really be statistically sig but may point to the heart of why MRV systems work
I closed all my positions on the ASX growth portfolio today (was 40% invested) and also deleveraged my MOC system to 1x. I’m thinking about positioning my orders shortly after US market opening to avoid unwanted slippage (not sure if this really helps). All my other systems sit on cash.
Just did explorations…one MRV system wants to load up and the other is completely out due to vola filter….designed them to have low correlation so guess too late to complain now.
so be it…
Do you think that would be a trigger point for some people would use to sell Trent? Or to buy maybe?
I did place orders last night…small loss so far with probably more to come tonight..nowhere near hist max DD yet so suspect will get bit more of a kicking
