Sell AUD/CAD x -50000 @ 0.9462 stop 0.9589 Adding to AUD/CAD short since it's nearing the point where I'm expecting a reversal if any is to occur. The main difference in conditions now back to original signal is a more positive development for China than expected, then again I'm more thinking...

Regret not being home in the afternoon to buy more before run up before open, but anyway... NAV 19579

Got a new aquarium two weeks ago and have been spending significant time installing it. Find it helps with the PTSD runs from trading; seeing the fish doing their own thing is very calming and allows switching focus from trading effectively.

Buy China A50 x 2 @ 12119 stop 11961 World is not going to end until next week. Not thinking here is the new downtrend either.

Buy NAS100USD x 5 @ 6972 stop 6885

Overall, since I'm basically on the way to going backwards another month I think it's worth going ahead an implementing automated stop loss sizing since this is the thing that is ruining a lot of my trades as pointed out already in January. The inconsistent stop sizing is making is way harder to...

Bleh crap China data with predictable results on my equity positions (stopped). Jobs report & stuff at 14:30 my time. Closing gold for 400 EUR profit before then as it's better to see what happens.

Buy NAS100USD x 4 @ 7016 stop 6987 Going to bed, reasonable risk.

NQ stop blown fast for minor loss, trying again a bit later. Leaving China position (much wider stop/lower trade size) open to next week. Will cut if it starts heading downhill by much tonight though (needing to be awake for other reasons).

Sour day because a bunch of negative news coverage. Haven't been following live but that's how it looks like post-fact. And of course correction at parabola top like this was kind of expected.

Buy NAS100USD x 15 @ 1716 stop 1708 High loss probability outsized reward.

Buy China A50 x 2 @ 12588 stop 12338 Taking my chances. As far as I can tell, this is simply a sour day.

Buy XAUUSD x 62 @ 1286.08 stop 1271.5 Never surrender (well, more like, solid turning point if any)... NATGAS stop was hit previously (slightly too narrow it turns out, but that's how it usually goes). At least got some profit from that. NAV down to 18562 though for "reasons" (detailed in...

Moving stop on NATGAS to 2.82, since I'm basically trading in the blind to a large extent I can't afford a larger fall than today's without profit being majorly eroded. Hoping for a new channel bottom, if it isn't I'm out.

Many equity indices have cleared death parabola, at this point I'm worrying a bit about getting on late nonetheless. However, clearly being just 1x with a mainstream equity index has been a winning strategy previous two months. Meanwhile, I've been making untalented intraday trades. To be fair...

Sell AUD/CAD x 78000 @ 0.9435 stop 0.9588 Reinstating AUD/CAD short since it has done its mandatory mean reversion movement in channel.. (As mentioned last week, I narrowed stop and it got hit quite soon after.) Will make a summary for previous month when I get around to it.

Buy XAUUSD @ 1295.49 stop 1288 Gold came down absurdly hard last week.

On daily chart, equity indices are in an interesting situation looking like the classic parabola of death... Unsure if there's a point shorting though so I won't unless something fundamental comes up or otherwise steady downwards momentum similar to what we saw in September happens (unlikely)...

Stops were hit on AUD/CAD, I intend to re-enter once they moved back a bit. Gold climbing again... might be too narrow stop previously. NAV 19000. Will continue holding NATGAS through March if I dare.

Moving stops on AUD/CAD to 0.9386, basically want it to continue down heavily by today or I see it as a signal that it will mean revert again...
