ACTIVElifecycle: livebuilt shortdirection inverted by the rules

WHAT IT LOOKS FOR

When a stock gaps up at the open by a small amount for its normal range, it bets the gap fades back toward yesterday's close.

This strategy lost money in its original direction, so the rules flipped it: it now takes the opposite side of its own signal.

TRACK RECORD

Rule-following trades only. Trades a system fault touched are listed below and left out of these figures, because a strategy is not judged on a day the machine failed (rule 61). The site's overall total counts every trade.

† 32 further trades on this strategy were hit by a system fault — an outage, a reboot, a missed end-of-day close-out — and made +$505.66 between them. They are not in the figures above, because a strategy is not judged on a day the machine failed (rule 61). They are still counted in the site’s overall total, which is every trade the broker filled. With them, this strategy shows 263 trades and +$844.20. What went wrong, and when.

These trades were executed on Moomoo. Results include every closed trade, winners and losers. Past results don't predict future returns.
