DLLs
I’ve noticed using the Algos, when I set the DLL to $200, I routinely get losses of $400 or $500 in a day on one account. In the algo software it states that when the DLL is hit it will liquidate the order and no further action will take place for the day on that account. Is that statement incorrect and that no new orders will be placed if the DLL is reached? I’ve struggled to keep accounts these last two weeks and trying to keep the longevity in my accounts. The reason why I’ve dropped my DLL. Appreciate the help on this question.

@Ryan Henris dang didn’t even think of that! Yeah that is exactly what happened. It was still on previous DLL of $500. Even though I had pushed the algo for those accounts on Monday. Good lesson, double check the settings in Tradeovate. Thank you Ryan for the help!

@Josh Hendershot I would expect the loss to be slightly over the DLL. By the time the DLL is triggered, it still needs to send the stop order. With your numbers so close together (risk size, max risk size and DLL) I can see that it would be over slightly. For me I had set my DLL down to $200 from the original Algo $500. And was still getting over $500 total losses for the day.

Thank you for the recap of last week @Kyle Henris. I really appreciate the greater insight into how to effectively run the algos. Running larger accounts makes sense on the more aggressive algo.

Algo settings
I set my algo account up yesterday, with an Apex 25k eval that has 10 days left before potential renewal. The algo template settings are based off of 50K accounts. Using a smaller sized account, I'm not certain of which strategy will be most efficient, A or B, (currently using B) and if I should be adjusting risk sizes. From those with experience, which way would you go? (Gotta head to work now, I appreciate every ones feedback!)

@Josh Hendershot Even the algos can have bad days. But if you are looking at a time crunch with your EA account, the aggressive algo would be a better bet. But like Kyle has stated time and time again, they can have good days and bad days. I too was a part of the bad week aggressive algo. I just chalk it up to part of the process.

@Ryan Medhurst same with me. One account using Prop A, one using Prop A con, and one account using Prop B. It’s been a rough week for all of them. But two made it through the week. I’m not trading tomorrow, don’t do good on Fridays so listening to my gut. And will be back at it on Monday.

How are the algos doing for you?
I’ve been staggering accounts weekly (buying new evals along with my previous funded accounts) and have all 3 Strats running on different props. Today I lost 5 accounts. I see others saying they are getting payouts? My apologies but I’m frustrated and I’m wondering if I’m the only one losing. Thanks group.

I'm in the same boat. With my three accounts running one each on Prop A, Prop A Con and Prop B, I have had two consecutive days of $1K losses total between the three accounts. The algos aren't perfect but I keep pressing on. I did blow an account on 6/9 and then another today (6/11).

@Tim Harwick yeah my Prop B is my best account still. Having that two trade limit is an account saver on bad days.

@Kara Kennicker Kyle will probably offer it again. There is a ton of data analytical that goes into programming algos.

@Kara Kennicker Learning the system is key to understanding the algos. Once you’ve learned how to trade, following the proven methods of Kyle you’ll be much more successful. The algos are great but can be just as frustrating when they have bad days.
