Immediately lost ~50 EUR on oversized (34 units) HK33HKD news trade. Entered with smaller one that I can actually keep around longer: HK33HKD x -5 @ 26226 stop 26438 USD/CNH x 15000 @ 6.82 Just practicing position sizing on news in these, I have no strong conviction other than trend...

Short USD/JPY x -75000 @ 107.92 Immediately closed for 15 EUR realized I'm starting to get too tired for a large position... besides I missed main spike it seems.

Going to bed went so-so, after staring at position where it switched between -10 and +60 EUR several times, I decided to close it at +60 (ASX200 @ 5778). Of course it finally fell through after that... Realized Chinese CPI at 2.30 am so guess I should be awake by then anyway. Side note, I lost...

Short ASX200AUD x -7 @ 5783 stop 5836.8 Expecting lackluster sentiment from yesterday with some mid term mean reversion. Also 5800 is nice number where a bounce happened in November. Going to bed, while I may trade in morning I won't be able to later in the day.

Closed 108.03, 108 resisting so better enter tonight when Asia starts. Will implement assistent stoploss vol calculation program in weekend potentially, most grievous losses past two weeks have been stops that (not much later) later reversed. Of course, potentially worse losses as stopped out...

Short USD/JPY x -25 000 @ 108.18 stop 108.55 Don't want to get left out if this pushes down further before I can react, adding more tomorrow and if going below 108.

Closed USD/JPY at 108.09 since I am not sure it can pass 108 without bouncing a bit. Today will be another loss day due to aforementioned stop loss/"luck", but this trade dampened it a bit. NAV 17650

Equity markets declining on open,not taking any longs but holding off with new short until midnight or tomorrow as I need to do other stuff than watching monitor for trade rallies and . USD/JPY short starting to move nicely ever so slowly. Edit: DAX trade would have been back to entry if not...

Eh wtf stop is 10957, not lower than entry price... Will probably be hit, but leaving trade on. Room for downside surprises and will be ready to short again. Exuberance over trade deal can be a steamroller though so might have to take long after US open Edit: And there went the stop. Had a bit...

Sell DE30EUR x -5 @ 10880 stop 10879 Either time for long term trend continuation or mid term mean reversion. Let's just say I don't think job report last Friday is a sign things are going to get better from here. NAV 17779, NATGAS and USD/JPY positions going nowhere yet. Edit: Entry may be...

Gotta be lucky to have it narrow enough that you get filled before the real (algo) panic starts.

Checking stats for trades last 7 days, trades above 1 h in length > 1450 EUR profit, trades below 1 h in length < -1400 EUR loss, also consistent with stats for longer periods. IOW highly indicating I should stay the F away from too short time frames, of course that's at odds with intent of this...

Sell USD/JPY x -50 000 @ 108.69 stop 109.68 Looking for momentum down to continue, been waiting for a good re-entry point. Obviously not an intraday position.

Sell BCOUSD x -400 @ 57.26 stop 57.52 Response to previously set up price alert to target mean reversion, immediate loss 90 EUR due to stop touched by price, too tight. Note to self don't jump from programming to trading w/o more context... Would have been nicely in profit if not stopped.

Nonsensically high data fees is why I guess.

Today was a crap day, and overslept US session, NAV at 17862. Had a fantastic last week until Friday when I blew it on job report trading (see rant in "Make your predictions for 2019" thread that made me start this journal). Will see if I can repeat said week without dumb shit. Primarily back on...

Yeah, DAX30, closed with loss very quickly. Using the internal API symbols when I can remember them as they're easier to type than "Germany 30".

Lost 130 EUR on UK100 trade at open. Stopping for this morning, conditions not ideal due to sleep issues and GF blasting music in headphones next to me (presumably to drown out my squawk). Back at 16.00 US data.

Close at 10828, bleh. At least NATGAS back to entry, NAV 18035 Edit: Shouldn't try to report trades here too quickly, loss probably larger than needed due to writing this post.
