Move stop 7928 (breakeven) -/- Same pronounced intention as above, will try to actually hold on this time.

Buy NAS100USD x 6 @ 7928 stop 7918

Closed manually for +$30, starting to look too much like dead fish float to me and about to hit my stop. Re-entering a bit later if price is better.

Just going to sit on my hands with no risk if possible until end of day. Low probability market will let me though. Account loaded to 2.77%, should really take bigger trades on NQ since its by far the instrument I am most experienced with. Forgetting I have $43000 on this acc now; should still...

Move stop 7938 (breakeven)

Buy NAS100USD x 6 @ 7937.7 stop 7933

Close +$150 Adding new smaller position soon.

Buy NAS100USD x 14 @ 7929 stop 7921 Not starting algo atm, pure conventional trade.

Well f*ck got home late. Nice down trend though, but will wait this one out too and hopefully get better prices again.

Hmm DPRK is short ES? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/07/24/north-korea-fired-two-projectiles-into-sea-south-korean-military-says/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.25f809f70a32

You have to be more subtle than the author managed to be... "Communism" gave his agenda away all too quick.

Well coding + shitty price alert = fail, NQ went above my trigger level half an hour ago. Returning tomorrow. Should starting recording in a google sheet what trades were missed/botched due to various poorly implemented/missing features and then prioritize fixing shit based on that. Attempting...

End of intraday trading today, actually -167 due to me rounding above. Going to do better next time of course. ;) Fixed a bug so I am happy. Although the quality of realtime data stream is disconcerting. Strategy to next week: going to try to jump on any trains first three hours of US session...

Long BCOUSD, let's see how algo does. Edit: Nah manual close -100, should scale down size since I'm a beginner here. Edit 2: Back in with 1/3 position of previous. Edit 3: Not going anywhere. Leaving it on until US session end though. -70 taking a shower. Algo placed stop at -120. Aaaand closed...

Added crude and gold to intraday list as these have been comparatively eventful lately and I might as well try them with the intraday algo.

Shut down algos a few minutes ago. Not too happy about general market performance since entry last week and I am growing cautious. Probably a buy signal, lol. However, at this point I will prefer to manually start intraday trend algo instead with the ultimate trading opportunity being FOMC next...

Found a way to generate combined PL curve YTD of closed trades from one of CFD provider apps. Notice the fast peak and decline in early May that prompted me to push into finalizing algos... Also note that this kind of profit corresponds to about 25% YTD on original amount, I've now basically...

Good news, NQ almost back to original algo start entry. "Bad news" (given outcome), algo decided to leverage down again during day and miss half of race. About $1100-1200 under peak still. Will turn it off latest before FOMC decision next week as I want to run my intraday algo instead. Edit...

w/e it decided to re-lever almost entirely an hour after, effectively losing $100 in progress vs doing nothing. On the other hand, it has been a good deal thus far.

Algo was nice enough to reduce leverage by 43% on midnight open now, I bet NQ will bounce back in short order. Illustrates importance of properly warming up algorithms as this kind of volatility was already present past few weeks and algo would have taken smaller pos if been kept running...
