Yes there is some work done in the background like resolving data importing issues, or keeping the servers updated, keep the code up to date.
You would think that keeping the code up to date would be easy, but actually sometimes 3rd parties code that i use make some breaking changes that require sometime time consuming code change on my side.
Your suggestions make a lot of sense, i will definitely implement them whenever i can.
@Wayne K.
Can you give us any insight into how you are timing the mix? Are you using volatility triggers on the different assets? Economic indicators? Presumably it's something quantitative or you wouldn't be able to backtest it.
Thanks for any insight.
