Stock-trading robot

My ISP is now charging $50/month to run this money-losing robot.  I need to cut memory usage down so I can switch to a cheaper cloud-hosting plan.

URTY: On Monday, the price went above SMA(s) but below CHANDELIER(+), so the program failed with a “stop on wrong side of price” error.  Sell or keep another day?  I decided to keep.  But Tuesday morning at 10am, the robot thought it had stopped out.  Now what?  There was another “Buy” order on Wednesday, so then I had a double tranche.  Lost lots of money Thursday.

SRTY: First profit in quite some time!  But only enough to cover same-week losses in YHOO and ATML.

TRIX-based trading model

New rule: For daily long trades, if calculated stop price is above the closing price, then sell at next day’s open instead of trying to set a stupid price that won’t work.
