CENX sold for 8.66 (a 5% gain)

CENX sold at 8.66

As expected, CENX amplified the DOW.  A sudden increase 2PM on the 18th sent CENX  up 6% causing the sell order (which was a 5% increase from the purchase price) to execute.

Set new buy order at 8.21.  (a 5% drop), but then changed it to 8.37 (a 3.3% drop) because I was still expecting CENX to hold the last 4 days gain of the DOW.

Surprisingly, CENX fell the very next morning causing the buy order to execute.  However, the DOW was going down.  Interestingly, CENX gained in the end of the day despite the DOW being down.

Set a new sell order for 8.79 (a ~5% increase).

Factors.  Dow was up as much as .25% and CENX was flat-lining around 8.17.  The speculation is that since CENX has historically amplified the movements in the Dow, then CENX would reverse direction and go up.

The drop in the first hour was experienced by AA and ACH as well indicating that something was affecting the aluminum market and not CENX individually.

As expected, Cenx could not hold the gain.  It is down 6.42 percent today.

The Initial Genetic Algorithm (GA) is now up and running since last night.
The performance measurement is based on the number of days up and the number of days down.

Initial test run overnight produced a GA that took $10,000.00 and returned 1.5 billion in 13 years using Cenx data from Jan 2000 - Sept 2013.  The save routine was not in place and the GA was lost.  Although the prospect of having lost a GA that runs that well is disappointing, it was probably tuned on factors specific to just the Cenx data and would not work beyond that stock or time frame.

The Second test (still running) has only discovered a GA that returns 53 million so far and is 75% complete.  The save routine was put in place before the run was started this morning, so this one should save and be able to be tested on different stocks.
