The One Million MNS was down -0.6% today with the 250K Portfolio down -$1,250 and still up on the month and quarter by 0.5% after two up days and three down days. The Stock Index Portfolio was up +$575. The SR CounterTrends had a long list of short trades today capturing some profits quickly.
After a 500 point Nasdaq range yesterday, the market seemed like it should have continued selling off today. Instead, there was quite a bit of chop in a narrow range with an FOMC feel to the day as Jay Powell was on air claiming "higher for longer". After he was done, there was a brief relief rally. The rally did not last long and the market rolled over again into the close.
The SR CounterTrends were active on the short side while there were many dip buying strategies as the portfolio persisted in dip buying and net long positioning throughout the day.
Technical errors persisted in automation with the latest update. Update 76 in Tradestation is broken. Stay with Update 75. Roll back and restore one of your old backups - which is what I am doing right now (so no video).
I had some additional ghosted traded that did not go through on Update 76 but the net result for the hypothetical versus live were about the same.
