Stock-trading robot

Ticker Symbol		Buy date			Buy price			Sell date			Sell price			Acct Profit
		Model	Actual		M	A		Model	Actual		M	A		M	A
SRTY ¹		FE 04 13:00			$27.82			FE 05 10:00			$27.47			-0.3%
SRTY ²		FE 07 13:00			$27.38	$27.41		FE 07 14:00			$27.18	$27.17		-0.2%

SRTY ¹: Robot worked correctly, but the downbound train did not leave the station.

SRTY ²: There is a bug in the trading model: if SRTY makes a new low and then later that same day a “buy” signal is issued, the model will always say “sell” one hour later.  In this case, that turned out to be a reasonable move because the downbound train did not leave the station.  Needs fixing, though.
