Am I running examples/goldencross.jl correctly?

[g-gundam]

• I made a fresh clone of oliviermilla/Lucky.jl.
• I ran julia --project from the root of the Lucky.jl project.
• I temporarily added MarketData as a dependency since examples/goldencross.jl needs it.
• I tried to run it by doing include("examples/goldencross.jl").

It ran without crashing, but I'm not sure if I did it right or if it has a bug, because it looks like it only executed two trades. It shorted AAPL twice on 1980-12-18, and it never made another trade. The AAPL data goes to 2013 too.

The Output

[Positions] Data: Position{Cash{USD}, Float64, Date}(Cash{USD}(), 1000.0, Date("1980-12-12"))
[Positions] Data: Position{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64, Date}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), 0, Date("1980-12-12"))
[Orders] Data: MarketOrder{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), -1)
[Orders] Data: MarketOrder{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), -1)
[Positions] Data: Position{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64, Date}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), -1, Date("1980-12-18"))
[Fills] Data: Fill{MarketOrder{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64}, Int64, Date}("d257f801-b747-571c-953e-886286c59376", MarketOrder{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), -1), 26.62, -1, 0.0, Date("1980-12-18"))
[Positions] Data: Position{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64, Date}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), -2, Date("1980-12-18"))
[Fills] Data: Fill{MarketOrder{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64}, Int64, Date}("28155bc3-3fc4-5e82-ad53-e8328ece23b7", MarketOrder{Stock{:AAPL, USD}, Int64}(Stock{:AAPL, USD}(), -1), 26.62, -1, 0.0, Date("1980-12-18"))

Am I doing it wrong?

...or is there a bug in the code?

Hey @g-gundam, it's not a bug and it behaves as expected.

It's just a poor logic, only coded to display how strategies should be written. :)

I should have made a cleaner example though.

[g-gundam]

Ok, just making sure. I think you'll entice more people to look at Lucky.jl if your example makes a lot of imaginary money, though.

[oliviermilla]

agreed.
