Buy NAS100USD x 6 @ 7816.6 stop 7796 Curiously, Russell pos is still in play. Either way, adding this one also as an audio reminder when it's time to turn algo off. Given this is often the lowpoint of day it feels nice adding here discretionary.

Buy US2000USD x 24 @ 1547.88 stop 1543.68

Market in bad mood cuz Netflix (trash company) and hawkish voter being hawkish, buying some more tomorrow. 300 MFE, 800 MAE (currently at). Account NAV 41750$ (7000 + 9400 EUR deposited past two weeks).

Nah price back to my preferred entry. Just hit start button on algo. Could dip 0.5-1% from here but who knows, weighted that against further missing out on beta. Still two weeks remaining in July.

Umm yeah this is why price alerts are nice. Missed NQ dip. AFK tomorrow so might as well stay out until end of week then.

Closed USD/TRY for -120, the interest rate differential was killing me and I certainly should have calculated that before making a position... At least I learned something. (Maybe) On NQ it's dumb to be out, but looking for better entry. At least have some ES on other algo.

They aren't completely banned from the market, assuming you're talking about CFDs. It's not so much the inherent risk such as that 90%+ of people using very high leverage have no idea what they're doing. Any backtested strategy will quickly collapse under significant leverage unless it's very...

Post screenshots showing incredibly sophisticated indicator combinations. Describe your strategy with amazing and vivid names. Everything should be for sale of course, signal, indicators, etc. Just don't admit that you can't make money trading like you just did.

OP not seen for a year. He also have some other nice short calls in post history. :D

I might redefine that as 'you can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent'. :-) Blaming the market for irrationality is in practice used as an excuse for being wrong. I am actually correct but the market isn't as right as me!

Just remove debt ceiling (as controlled by Congress) since it leads to uncertainty for no reason. The idea that Congress can put a hard break on expenses is cute but flawed, if you want to do something about expenses you have to start earlier in the decision process...

You under-appreciate the meaning of lower average risk. Basically, being in a drawdown sucks since you either need to wait it out or exit with a loss. Higher sharpe ratio means fewer drawdowns. In addition, it tends to be the case that a higher Sharpe strategy will simply have a (potentially...

Why would the non-normality of returns make the Sharpe ratio useless? If you have two strategies that both yield 20%/year and one has Sharpe 1.2 and the other 2.0 I know which one I would pick. That the return distributions are fat tailed doesn't change that the return is accomplished for less...

NQ price back below to where I would've entered. Still not super comfortable about entering, and in wider perspective market looks like flat/parabolic top (either that, or the ceiling will be blasted through by some great news). Seems safer to wait for a signal than making assumptions.

Note to self: Don't attempt to start algo on acc with existing stop loss orders open or it will crash due to platform limitations. Missed NQ now, checking back in 1-2 hours to see if I can get a better price.

USD/TRY position nearing breakeven. Waiting 2 h or until open until making any decisions on NQ for multiple algos as I still don't feel there's a compelling case for either direction and it's best to wait and observe. Unfortunately other algo still running is at -150 because of US 30y (TBH...

Hah this is quite similar to going "I made $2500 from one trade; trading is a great business now!". (Well, technically, this is trading too, but let's stick to the type of trading on this forum.)

Well useless day (first I have time for in quite a while...), might try trading breakout from range. 7906-7934 but using shit external application for this so chances are I miss alert. Intending to build it into my own trade app later. Still, the fact I lost 80 is a bad sign combined with the...

Not sure if getting long dumb beta (NQ) again is a great idea. Will muse about on this rather than rush to a decision. CPI didn't give a hint and IMO US indices are leaning towards overbought, if not necessarily quite there. My plan was to hold to end of July anyway, but would be nice to BTFD...
