Oh, I am a happy amateur as well, don't get me wrong. The dynamics of currencies as accepted tokens of value are pretty fascinating anyhow. Hopefully someone educated will chime into the thread. China's currency is pegged, which I would assume would limit the trust for it as a replacement of...

There is a world outside the US that needs to accept dollars as payment. You're unlikely to forever increase your real buying power by adding more digits to the currency.

It already has. Doesn't necessarily lead to price stability given that most algos employed are very near sighted.

Going to summarize stats for January next weekend. Expecting to fall below target so I might have to revise it (no point trading fiction) as I'm not in a position where I can spend additional time in front of screen compared to what I've been doing in Jan. Also I'm presumably underperforming B&H...

Sell AUD/CAD x -42000 @ 0.9492 stop 95.20 Betting existing profit and doubling this position. Leaving wide stop on the first trade.

Classic day where I'd been better off not doing any position changes during day compared vs I had this night. Have a tendency to exit good entries way early. Not going to fret it though. NAV 19680 and that will be end of week as I'm doing other stuff and opening shop Monday again. Under target...

Close NAS100USD @ 6743, trade not developing as expected, 30 EUR loss.

Buy NAS100USD x 12 @ 6746 stop 6736. Hold to open.

Close XCUUSD 2.6608. Want to have some room for intraday equity leverage. Reopening after weekend so I don't have to hold this rather volatile commodity. ٍEdit: NAV 19722 ٍEdit2: Bad call...

Close US2000USD @ 1470.73 Will reopen later today after news as larger intraday pos. Closed from mobile app, not sure if it was a great idea as chart "looks" good to me. Still exposed to market correlation with copper position (which from earlier being in 200 EUR profit is in -50 EUR loss as I...

Close HK33HKD @ 27506 NAV 19630. Closing now as I can't monitor Euro (or even US) sessions and want to limit risk of profit being eaten up by reversal.

Buy HK33HKD x 16 @ 27391 stop 27321 In case stuff moves up during the night (likely, premarket was wild before reverting).

Buy XCUUSD x 18000 @ 2.6428 stop 2.6175 Mean reversion bet on copper, also assuming mid term optimism.

Whoops, see that you wrote 1 h chart in post, getting blind it appears. Very cool system and nice that you could make it work. I worked on an evolutionary algo discovery tool for a few years but the results were less than stellar vs time spent. Might be that I didn't focus on the right things.

What's the bar length?

Interesting, as in overnight? Not gonna algo trade on this account (have other stuff for that) but I will look into this on a discretionary basis.

Buy US2000USD x 35 @ 1461.13 stop 1448 Edit: Correct to 35 Mid term position, market defying bear expectations. Taking risk of 2.5x leverage. NAV 19030, would be 180 lower if it wasn't for AUD/CAD trade.

Stopped. MFE was at 120 EUR, should have locked two thirds of that in in retrospect as I was monitoring it.

Sell DE30EUR x -4 @ 11060 stop 11086 Betting 100 EUR on continued pessimism today. Expecting ~33% probability or so but outsized move down to 11000.

Missed nice move 45 minutes after market open downwards since I quit. Question is whether mid term situation is approaching bearish again and whether I should switch bias yet again. Sell AUD/CAD x -42000 @ 0.9531 stop 0.9826 Long term trade; hypothesis is Australian economy underperforming...
