IB Olympiad 2009 Day Sixteen

Closing Liquidation Value: $988,095.47 +$23,880.7 (+2.5%)

Today was alright, the program did not get any help from oil but it did get a nice boost from naked DRYS puts it sold yesterday. It seems I am destined to waver about break even for the first half of this competition as the same thing happened the past two years. Hopefully, DT2009 will break out and make new highs as we approach the end of the Olympiad this year like it did in '07 and '08. We'll see, wish me luck!

what language did you use? and has it taken you all year to design and operate the program?

Hey Justin, I wrote my program in visual basic. The majority of my code was written over about a month two years ago before (and during) the 2007 IB Olympiad. Since then I have added features and strategies, and also improved on aspects. This year I only made minor changes but did much more extensive testing and parameter optimization.

What language did you use? Making money?
