Hmm should have had patience to watch HK open, received a nice drop there soon after, instead preferred to waste time on pointless ET threads.

Everything is good in moderation is all I have to say...

I was actually replying to a post Dozu deleted, that statement wouldn't have been my choice in response to topic starter.

First, great honest and humble attitude, will get your farthest when you're able to be honest to yourself. See Dozu's thread: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/trading-is-easy.321831/ This kind of very basic strategy that anyone can do is what you're competing against. Now, of course...

Closed +$60, HK premarket not showing the kind of downtrend I was hoping for.

It's not just about how long you can be in the game, but also your physical (and depending on sociability, mental) health in your thirties. Team house sounds like a solution, yeah. I'm not following the development of e-sports very closely as I had too much of a share of gaming growing up, lol...

Gotta make the money in quite a short time before the physical strain wears your body out. e-sports is a serious health hazard. Anyone trying to do a career out of it should spend a lot of their time in the gym and elsewhere tending to their body.

Move stop to breakeven.

Move stop 8008, trade started going my way fairly quickly. Will move to breakeven after getting home from night jogging, if I do it now chance of it being hit for no reason is too high.

Sell NAS100USD x -6 @ 7999 stop 8012 Don't usually short but just in case the RR is attractive here. Edit: Moved stop 8008 to 8012 after careful consideration, either way tiny risk.

We'll see after FOMC, might be that I get to eat my words pretty soon with NQ still advancing. If looking good on FOMC, then I may go long a while longer for a week or two. Market felt too choppy today for me to want to trade (and either way I locked myself into a mental bias by saying the above).

Please no. If you really want to, go onto something like Collective 2 and do your research on how to evaluate strategies before you rent one. There's usually a catch than makes a strategy far less good than its performance to date might make it seem. In particular, then are quite a few that...

Went long VIX w/ small pos on another acc (warrant), aside from FOMC and w/e intraday trends I am lucky to come across I will sit on my hands through August-September unless market continues to make higher highs without me.

Stopped at breakeven; didn't decide to monitor this one. MFE 80 I guess.

Move stop 7922 (breakeven)

Buy NAS100USD x 6 @ 7921 stop 7895 Checking back, saw better price. BTFD until tomorrow.

You're just trading win ratio for expected win/loss this way. I.e. you will win more often but the size of the losses will magically cancel out the benefit unless there's more to it. Now, if the underlying phenomena you're trying to capture has multiple possible entry points at subsequently...

Closing for today. Around $360 made I guess. Would have been more if I was more rational about bet sizes. Would continue trading since I'm on a streak but have other commitments. "Sitting until end of day" changed fast, apologies. Edit: correction, 310 after looking at trade list

Close +$180 Again too small pos...
