IWM dropped by 1.0% this week; my account did the same. The loss-floor fell to -1.7%.
Euro news: Cyprus isn’t getting any better.

The robot is functioning properly, but it is not making any money.
IWM rose yet again this week, to yet another lifetime high, while my account and loss-floor are stable at -0.3%.
Euro news: Cyprus went bankrupt on Saturday. When the EU bailed them out, the people holding bank accounts got only 93¢ for every Euro they had deposited. A bank run is in progress — money kept in Cyprus is no longer safe! But it never was, and the other countries of Europe aren’t really much safer — and now everyone knows that. Perhaps the US market will go down now? Nah, too much to hope for.

No trades this week. No positions held.
No trades this week. No positions held. No change to account balance. The market just keeps going up. Bears are crying.
Didn’t feel like writing a report this week. Two more loser SRTY trades. Now my account balance is slightly negative for the year and I have no investments.

Upon further analysis, I am no longer sure that there is actually a bug when there is a new low in the morning and then a “buy” signal later that same day. So, no fix for now.

SRTY ²: Sold because IWM was a penny over its SMA – then IWM plummeted! Oh well.
SRTY ³: Yet another loser trade.
