We added the very important Account Setting for Maximum % of Average Daily Volume. Setting this to a reasonable number inhibits the program from trading the equity curve on less liquid stocks when the account reaches very large values (like $50 Million and more.) I have my max trade set to 0.1% of Average Volume, but you can use any value you think is reasonable. If a given trade is over this amount, it will not be taken (i.e., the program doesn't take a partial trade). Some good enhancements were requested to account for "slippage" on large orders relative to liquidity of the market. This will be on the survey. 2. Most of the focus last week was on the Trade Processor and the server processes driving it. 3. Our developers are still working to complete the Trade Tracking feature described in my video last week, whereby users can indicate which trades they are taking on the web site. The Trade Processor already has the equivalent of this feature implemented. This week: A. We are working on a server change to establish Order Fill Confirmation after the Open, so Opening Orders become Positions shortly afterwards (more like you would see in real time). B. Continuing to test the Trade Processor for Alpha Release. C. Completing the Feature Survey for user feedback. I will provide a broader update tomorrow. |
