It had been really light on the trading front for about 10 days, and then this morning a number of trades set up. It was kind of a tidal wave of trade alerts (4 in one morning).
That's not typical. They just all set up this morning and I had the bandwidth to take them on based on my position sizing approach. Most days there are 1-3 trade alerts (an average of just about 2 per day in back tests).
I also took some heat on the new positions. BNTX in particular went way against me in the first 10 minutes. Anyone who jumped in right then got a potentially great discount on the position. Either way, it's not abnormal to take some heat, and if any of these turn into losses, that wouldn't be abnormal either. Back tests of these strategies had all sorts of variations of win and loss patterns.
If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
