Price Pause Strategy

Recommended Posts

I am not saying there is a problem, or the will be a problem.

 

When you first try tracert, you reported everything is ok.

Of course things are ok. Why wouldn't it?

 

On your above test, you reported that the esignal and IB feed are the same.

Of course they are they same, why wouldn't they?

 

What you have observed is of very little value.

Let me explain.

 

 

Please take a look at the tracert report again. How many hops are there?

 

Mine has 14 hops.

Only the first 3 hops belong to my ISP.

ie. even though I have paid premium to subscribe to a fast internet,

the extent of my influence is only 3 hops !!!

the rest of the hops belong to other ISPs along the route.

If one of them has a hiccup, you are affected.

 

I am not saying someone will have a hiccup.

I am not saying internet is not reliable,

and I am definitely not saying your strategy is not workable because someone somewhere during the next one hundred years will have a 100 millisecond hiccup.

 

What I am saying is, you have to look at all the variables,

and see if you can control/depend on those variables.

 

Let's go back the the observation you made in the previous post.

Of course the esignal and IB data are the same...

if they go through the same hops, they will have the same latency -- ie. same results.

 

Next, you have to look at your current average latency,

and then divide that into your "Pause" Strategy threshold.

 

ie. you have to take samples of your tracert... to see how stable is your latency.

I have a 122 ms latency right now. It might be 60 ms tomorrow, or 250 ms in the next second.

You have to find out if you have a dependable varaible.

 

If the pause you are working on is 1 second,

and take my example, my latency is 122 ms (I will round it up to 200 ms, because you always round up),

then I would assume my expected error will be 20%. (200 ms of 1 second)

 

I don't know if it would work for you, maybe, maybe not. If it is acceptable, then by all means continue with the hypothesis. Otherwise even if it is a good theory, you are limited by our current technology.

 

Hope it makes sense.

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
