Got crushed on NQ intraday attempts today, -600 more. Staying away for remainder of day. The reason was simple: Trying to be clever about stops to e.g. have 200 risk where 1000 was automatically calculated to be appropriate. It also meant that I'm stuck tweaking stop prices in input dialog when...

Added 88 to same stop. If this fails I take a break for today in order to not get further from fresh account peak. Started to feel exhausted last hour anyway. Edit: Close +100, preparing to get out simply because I'm tired. Edit2: Closed remainder for -238. Time to sleep before GF gets home...

Lost 600 on NQ trades (most on a poorly executed short while eating an apple... very expensive apple) Buy XAUUSD x 99 @ 1642.75 stop 1637.8 Edit: Move down stop 1 pt. Too predictable

Closed -400, doubled in on local peak which sucked (especially because when I pressed button price was quite a lot lower). MFE +500

Buy NAS100USD x 18 @ 9489 stop 9479 edit: doubled

Closed XAUUSD +3000 will return if crossing 1650

Buy NAS100USD x 18 @ 9499 (neutral now) Edit: stopped

Move stop neutral Edit: Close +270, new home sales data coming up

Buy NAS100USD x 18 @ 9487 stop 9474

Short NQ (had major trouble getting in, need to fix algo) Edit: Stopped neutral

Close +40 too slow and close to US open.

lol Buy XAUUSD x 88 @ 1644.23 risk 100 (using 1 unit sentry orders a lot now, makes it much easier to actively keep up with a trend)

Close +520 (Not seeing any corresponding fall in equities which makes me suspect it may well back a bit.)

Buy XAUUSD x 88 @ 1536.67 Small $100 bet on breakout here Missed main trend during late Asian session (damn this thing called sleep) but maybe it will resume here.

Account up about 800 yesterday including unrealized profit. => I would have been at new highs without retarded tiredness/overconfidence trade a day prior. I keep gripping a bit about missing out on the great downtrend during US session, but time to bury that and focus on the future. Will see...

Closed for +56, don't want to sit on such a large position if it isn't moving in my way. Need to downsize before weekend gap anyway.

Closed NQ +300 total after opening another position instead of closing and getting stopped. MFE near 1000 IIRC Overall having a hunch it's not gonna work "yet another time" just being long until end of day. Hence I am skittish. Overall just noise trading too much atm anyway (today's clean trend...

Moved to zero risk, shit gonna trend now.

Buy NAS100USD x 38 @ 9588 stop 9571

Re-entered 88 gold, 200 risk. Edit: Doubled risk, no point getting in and out by super-tight stops.
