So I finally got around to dabbling with the innards of my program over the past couple of weeks. One major update I made was incorporating trailing stop-loss actions, rather than simple stop-loss. It has a little bit of customization, something I’ve been doing manually with my real purchases, where I’ll set a standard stop-loss…

Major program changes now in progress
So I’ve been live trading using picks from my program for about 3 months now, with mixed results. Things got off to a great start, but ultimately the picks started getting worse and worse. It could very well be the market doesn’t want to play nice, as it’s been very schizophrenic as of late. Could…
