Day#65 Post#1

How do you know a strategy works?

Test it on 7 years of data.
Then test on 2.5 years it never saw.
If it passes both — it earns a live bot.

5/9 passed so far.
4 more and Fleet 2 deploys.

No guessing. Just proof. 🤖

Day#64 Post#2

Built a GA engine to find forex strategies.
7yr backtest + 2.5yr forward test.
Same risk as live bots. No shortcuts.

4/10 strategies verified. Need 10 → deploy Group 2.

This is how you build with discipline. 🤖

Day#64 Post#1

Week 3 done.

Options: $1,160 premium. ORCL +83%. INTU held.
Forex: 10 bots. Mixed results. B4 on watch.

Built stop loss alerts this week.
Bot now texts me before things go wrong.

That's the job. 🤖

Day#56 Post#1

INTU crashed 20%
Our LEAP is down 56%.

Stop loss cut at 50% drop.
But fundamentals still intact.
Analyst target: $592. We're at $315.

Rule says cut. Fundamentals say hold.
We held. Sold the weekly call anyway.

Day#54 Post#3

Can't manage what you can't measure.

Built weekly P&L chart for options bot today.
Tracks LEAP value + premium per stock.

1 data point now. 52 by end of year.
That's how you build a track record.

Day#54 Post#1

Been numbering posts wrong. Day 1 was Mar 26.
Today is actually Day#54. Correcting from here.

Consistency matters even in the small things.

Day#48 Post#1

48 days in. What shipped:

Forex: 10 bots, 6 pairs, 24/7 demo
Options: 6 LEAPs deployed, 5 short calls sold

P&L doesn't matter yet.
The system works. That matters. 🤖

Day#47 Post#2

First live PMCC cycle: everything broke. 😅

Gateway down. Orders timing out. Strikes missing.

Fixed it all live:
→ $1,386 weekly premium
→ 6 LEAPs deployed
→ 5 short calls sold

Bugs are tuition fees. 🤖

Day#47 | Post#1

Last night: MSFT LEAP timed out. ❌
Tonight: Fixed + redeployed. 🔧

→ Market order (guaranteed fill)
→ 22:30 SGT fire time
→ Auto short call after

Back at it. 🤖

Day#46 Post#1

Upgraded the PMCC options bot tonight.

Old: manual approval every Friday
New: fully automated

→ Auto-roll last week's short calls
→ Auto-sell new calls
→ Auto-buy new LEAPs

Bot fires automatically, 0 manual work.

Day 44

Backtest 18 days: filter saves $366. Ship it.
Backtest 180 days: filter loses $110. Hmm.
Backtest 3 years: filter loses $11,827. 🛑

The "problem" I was fixing? -$300 over 18 days.
The strategy? +$26k over 3 years.

Almost broke the machine.

Day 43

Set out to optimize.
Found I'd been flying blind for 18 days.

Fixed the logs.
Then the data spoke:

Yen shorts. 29 trades. 6 wins. -$300.

You can't optimize what you can't see.

Day 42 — night wrap

✅ Verified all auto-jobs running on VPS
✅ Stock selection engine live
✅ Friday auto-trigger confirmed
✅ Market alerts firing daily
✅ Day 42 post out

Quiet night. Just confirming the system runs without me.

That's the goal.

Day#41 Post#1

4 days of building.
14 modules. 3 systemd services.

Bot is structurally complete.

Tomorrow night: first real PMCC cycle.
Manual approval.
Watching every fill.

tomorrow a script does it for me.

Day#40 Post#2

Forex fleet, honestly:

5 weeks. $50K paper.
Net: +$247 (+0.5%).
T-bills would do better.

6 bots bleeding. 2 gold bots carrying.

Quant lesson: trend-following needs trends.

Next: regime detection, not retreat.

Day#40 Post#1

Bot orchestrator alive.

Reads 4 long calls.
Checks earnings, market hours, blocked symbols.
Picks short-call strikes via delta filter.
Logs everything. Telegram alerts on fire.

Friday: same code, live.

Day#39 Post#2

Live market test:
Bot read ORCL chain.
Analyzed 14 strikes.
Selected $195 call, delta 0.158.
Premium $101.

Real decision on real data.

Friday: same logic, fully automated.

Day#39 Post#1

Footgun discovered:
Logged into IBKR mobile = Gateway booted out.
Bot timed out on every API call.

Fix: 1 config flag
Now Gateway auto-recovers when I log out of mobile.

Lesson: "working" ≠ "working under real usage".
