Close +310, not sure what's happening, didn't see any news headline explaining sudden drop. Edit: 1 min delay, Chinese comment, no new info though. Edit 2: Pretty sure this blew through some longs' stops and all.

Move stop to 7724 already.

Sell NAS100USD x -20 @ 7705 stop 7717 Mind at peace, comparatively narrow bet initially, will widen stop if it survives until midnight. Edit moved to 7717, well tight.

Seems BTFD would have worked temporarily today, not sure if I should count myself lucky or not to stay out :D Not trading until Friday unless I feel very confident about something as mentioned above. Deposited 4500 EUR, NAV now $52k. Still mulling depositing another 40k coming months from other...

Would consider BTFD now but my GF and mother have various issues so staying out of market next few days until I feel I won't be randomly bothered.

NQ stopped in night for -350, ASX200 exited at +380 now.

Move stop NAS100 7748 Going to bed. I suppose Caixin PMI might be of interest, but TBH given that China data has beat most recent times, there's room for negative surprises.

Sell ASX200 x -18 @ 6578 stop 6613

Sell NAS100USD x -11 @ 7716 stop 7736 Will add more later today, may also widen stop a bit if it survives first hour.

If you're trading in your own private name you can get away with the 30% capital gains tax. If you get an ISK (as linked above) you can currently (IIRC) effectively pay less than <0.5% of account value yearly owing to current low interest rates and pay no capital gains tax whatsoever. But I...

Giving up here, closing for -440. Already spiked down (very barely missing my stop), then back up, but going down again. Better to avoid the spread associated with a hit stop during a spike. I'm sure this will be the low and the turning point. :D

Buy XAUUSD x 33 @ 1501.78 stop 1496.9 Clear case where patience would have paid off. Anyway, doubling as planned.

I suspect people like to never change their parameters to avoid yet another source of overfitting. You can find settings/parameters that "work best" for any piece of price history - but that is not the same as the settings that will work (probably by accident) in the future. Finding parameters...

Oh I don't know, it seems to nudge me to think slightly more as the whole world will know what a moron I am when I do wrong. I used to share your opinion before trying it. The downside is, people may think me to be a moron without even bother saying so. If posting in concrete discussion threads...

Buy XAUUSD x 33 @ 1509.25 stop 1496.9 Proxy bear position on eq in case gold finally flies above 1500, may double at bit lower closer to 1500. I might go either long or short eq from here depending on how things develop. My personal opinion is chances of trade deal are horse shit. And yeah...

Oh yeah, this is a case where leaving a small long pos on would have made sense. But I don't make sensible decisions.

Aside from the overall veracity of "Swedish think tanks", it would really help to have a link; I would suspect the above to be somewhat related to property prices. If you don't own your home, you are f*cked in the big cities (oh yeah, you can also spend half your life in a queue for a rental...

(Note: Didn't dip buy today because next is a new week and I am hesitant about the sustainability of any rallies from here given worsening macro. Today's NFP just made it slightly more complicated.)

Exited -7, didn't lift off on trade deal comment in a convincing manner.
