What it taught me

When my algo wins it takes half off early, so most winners are small. When it loses, it’s a full stop-out, and this week there were five.

Friday’s one trade made $144 at my new, bigger size and carried the week to $9. A high win rate means nothing if the losses are bigger than the wins.
