These are the trades my algo took today, along with the fills. Yesterday it took a loss, but i had changed a few settings and messed with the original but if i hadnt it wouldve been a good day. Its okay. Although it chose good contracts today, i think it might be choosing the wrong ones still. Because the settings i have for the contract picker isnt going through for some reason. But it has ATM fallback so it chooses at the money. But long story short, it made $592 today on the paper account, not bad. These are the trades it took, along with the fills.
