Assuming that's true (I have my doubts), you just made the worst financial decision of your life not compounding that for a year for a sweet 130 times as much money/income. [Disregarding potential concerns about microcap liquidity/non-scaling.]

$25k led to a decline in noob traders perhaps. Someone making genuine money does not have trouble coming up with $25k.

Actually, second thought, opened new US2000USD trade of same size with very tight stop @ 1673.6 instead; EU session might start positive and I have a habit of closing out when I should let winners run.

Close US2000 +1019 Sitting on about 2400 of unrealized profit after this in India 50, Nikkei 225 and copper, will try to hold until later today.

Buy JP225 x 3 @ 23701 stop 23647 Doubled position in JP225, while Japan is closed for trading today I'm guessing positive Asia session will reflect in futures prices, and I need to go to sleep, hence no HK33 positions.

Uh shit, Powell will be speaking today. I might close positions before then as I don't fancy taking on that kind of potential volatility without sitting in front of screen.

Buy India 50 x 10 @ 12044 stop 11984 Looking decent for bullish tomorrow. Missed out on US market open today due to external circumstances or I might have traded NQ. On some consulting work tomorrow so I bet it will be the best trading day of the week and I will miss it.

Final words as I go to bed. Basically, I interpreted weekend gap as bullish. Now, it won't surprise me if this move is the bottom today but due to over-committing my hands are now tied w.r.t. to risk. February not so great for me so far, which I think is down to FOMO and over-confidence given...

Moved up stops now because I don't want to lose much more tonight in case this is a trend change.

One word: Epic fail. Went AFK, down 1000. Stopped on larger sub-trade and nearly stopped on 3 unit trade.

Buy JP225 x 3 @ 23705 stop 23534 Buy JP225 x 8 @ 23690 stop 23525 Layered trade total risk 1000.

Buy XCUUSD x 10400 @ 2.5454 stop 2.449 Ridiculous decline in copper price as of late, looking for reversion this week.

Buy US2000 x 52 @ 1655.55 stop 1636.25 Taking some moderate weekend risk, don't think world will collapse this weekend.

Thread title is an oxymoron.

Nope shit day, -1800. Think this a case of thinking too much with crowd and over-adjusting to what might have worked past week. Checking back in two hours.

Buy NAS100USD x 38 @ 9403 stop 9394 Going AFK until open.

Buy NAS100USD x 38 @ 9409 stop 9387

Buy NAS100USD x 38 @ 9433 stop 9418 Strong NFP but will it be enough? ADP sort of disclosed this earlier in week. Tight stop as I prefer to manually re-enter than lose a bunch. Edit: Yeah stopped, -500

Lose 160 on re-entry attempt

Closed all -41, MFE around +800 Closed for loss since I kept adding, but that's according to strategy.
