The Octane Slog

Posted on January 30, 2025 by Andy G

As much as I would like to brag on Octane, it has not having its best months. It is babysitting several USDCAD and GBPUSD trades. It will make some small trades on a few other FOREX pairs to generate some monthly income. Otherwise, it is waiting for these pairs to get more active.

While Octane waits, the swap fees are accumulating. With nearly half of the 47 open trades having swap fees over $100, these trades must close. Every day, the swap fees grow!

If all open trades would close right now, I would have made 4.71% over the past 6 months. (The bottom red dot.) Once the trades close and Octane returns to “normal” trading, I look forward to more productive months.
Since bringing Octane back on-line the end of July, it has not had another month to equal August.

I can’t deny my crypto frustration may be carrying over to my bot. Neither of them is producing like I would like. Octane is making positive gains, but it is in the low single-digit range. What would I do if my crypto positions turned around and Octane made mid-single digits? I would love to find out!
