Day 18 of DayTradingJournal: Today was a good day with my algo finally doing as expected. Had this issue since last two days, though I had fixed it up last night, however, realised a small bug had crept up, was taking data from one set and applying to another set and expecting correct results. Obviously wrong, got it resolved and then tested it. The algo now gave the expected results.
Today's trading take away: Mirrored a trade as per algo's signals even when it looked like I should take trade on the other side (had there been no algo signals, i'd have taken the wrong trade as the charts and markets decieve you), but then I decided to keep the faith and took the trade suggested by the algo. Turned out good and profitable. There was an instance or two wherein the lizard brain tried to get to me to get out the trade but I persisted, kept the faith and let tha algo run and give signals. So, progress on two fronts - faith on system and control on lizard brain.
