The bot has been mediocre lately to be honest. It's still making money, but
at a slower rate then before. What's interesting is that some of the strats
are having great days followed by terrible days. I think at some point a
lower VIX (more normal trading environment) will help the strats I have
right now. The direction of the market hasn't had too much impact to be
honest, even with the long only strats.

How has the bot side been working? I'm curious because we've obviously had a change in market direction over the past two months - how have done with the bot side?

I do both. Most of my daytrading is by bot, but I also watch the scans for
any other opportunities and for swing trade candidates.

I was more curious about your experiments with automated trading rather than scanning. But maybe you're doing both?

Yes, I still use it daily. I posted how I create one of my scans recently here. I also mention many of the stocks the bot trades on twitter. Do you use it?

Question for you - I haven't seen much on the Trade Ideas robot in recent months - are you still testing/trading it?
