Missed today as well due to GF's mood.

January: Return since start of journal: 19576 / 18036 = 8.5% (would be better if I included first week of Jan but let's keep to published facts) S&P500 return over same period: 2707 / 2549 = 6.2% (approximately, uses crappy chart) Return over 15 supposed trading days (basically excluding...

FWIW being in the military is hardly "exciting" most of the time. It's another (potentially very demanding) job.

Closing NAV Jan 19576, going to summarize stats later today or in weekend. Entirely missed the big run up the past two days, but I am not really tempted jumping on a train late.

Why trade if it's boring? There are so many other things you can do.

Couldn't trade today (hence trading yesterday), missed all the fun it seems. As usual, would have had good results holding onto positions longer. It's fine though, I can't sit with an unmonitored leveraged trade in current volatile regime. NAV 19641. EUR/SEK short hedge bleeding cash (even if...

Close NAS100 at 6663

Buy NAS100USD x 8 @ 6649 stop 6632 Taking my chances... AAPL did decently.

Unfortunately, also needed good exit and not just good entry as it turned out. :( Now waiting for AAPL earnings but unsure at what precise time those are released...

Yepp, NAV 19669 Quitting trade app and back tonight like I said.

Buy NAS100USD x 8 @ 6661 stop 6654 Probably stop hit immediately but let's see

Close NAS100USD, XAUUSD for minor loss (edit: gah) Close XCUUSD for 400 EUR profit NAV 19689. Had MFE at about 20100, random market comment on China/Russia screwing me. Will be back for Apple earnings aftermarket.

We're in a place where NQ will either drop through cellar or advance up (the latter still something I consider more likely). Gold will probably stay clear of 1300 level now. In general it's pretty nice to be long equities and gold at same time due to expected different directions if shit...

Buy XAUUSD x 86 @ 1307.3 stop 1302.38

Buy NAS100USD x 8 @ 6670 stop 6614

Gold is pretty interesting right now, but want to see signs of train departing station rather than reversing before entering.

Buy XCUUSD x 15500 @ 2.6739 stop 2.644 Copper had its compulsory retrace since large Friday gains. Still was a bad idea selling early on Friday, but w/e. Got to be careful, trend change in crude would spill over into copper I suspect.

That trade would have been good if not stopped with MAE near stop. Bleh.

Stopped again for ~100 EUR loss. Might make another attempt a bit later. Probably doing too tight stops again, but hey, that's how to relax while AFK. NAV 19337

Buy US30USD x 5 @ 20341 stop 20315 The tight stop AUD/CAD trade was stopped earlier in evening... should perhaps have accepted more risk for position. Loose stop trade still open.
