Since I have to manually connect each VM to each account each day, I can't just let it run without software changes to the GXT Paper connection in OT. 5-minute time period sounds like real-time trading. Have you seen any studies about time of day? I've seen the lunch periods and seasonal discussions, but I've never seen anything that studies an EOD methodology, using partial/evolving day's data, and placing trades once a day. It is kind of like asking if MOO or MOC or place trades over night or just prior to market open is beneficial to small traders or will they get better results if they delayed their trading (decisions and order entry) to a different window of the day. I think that's the interesting question since I can set Auto Trader to do this for me. | |
