Move stop 7710. Stopped

Buy NAS100USD x 24 @ 7705 stop 7692 Leaving this one on and going AFK, active trading is pointless with the chop. Have a slight long conviction from here.

Need to stop reporting trades in real time, it's losing me a lot of MFE. -80 on two longs thus far.

NFP doesn't seem to go much in either direction, next stop market open. Maybe it will be a BTFD opportunity. Need to be careful though, if this is the start of a correction I will get run over with a long. I also think that this point, the first round of dip buyers were pulverized yesterday and...

NQ short algo. Edit: Closed neutral.

Gold closed bad price, -220. Thought it was -400 first (displayed), broker has their execution platform together. Edit 2: Gold is actually higher, illustrates issue of holding with narrow stop over news releases.

Trading NFP, market open and Michigan/factory data today. Eating crayfish afterward or whatever the name is in English.

Buy XAUUSD x 62 @ 1438.1 stop 1434.66 Been waiting for gold to move over 1425-30ish for a while, making a small bet here thus. Risk of immediate reversal but decent RR despite the low probability.

Missed out on what appears to have been one of the greatest trading days of the year due to other commitments, grrr... Even worse, I got home in evening, was being distracted by GF by the usual stuff, then later got around to sitting next to her with my laptop. In that moment, I decided to...

Close +40 not going where I want, going to bed (playing open would be better but super tired and need to wake in 2 h).

Long algo HK33HKD

NQ back at lower end of day range. Of course, daily graph looking quite exciting now and a bigger correction would be very nice, but I don't rule out BTFD going victorious yet again.. Can't trade remainder of week unfortunately despite volatility likely to be great.

On a side note, I'm too quick to write back to this journal. Was writing here when today's bottom occurred.

Gonna quit the retard scalping as exciting as it is and realize this is not my day; there will be much better days since the positions I traded would allow me to make 10-20% when trend is clear from start. I also figured that my strategy of taking 1-1-1-1-1-1 position buildup should be changed...

Well down -0.5% now and USD/SEK went up a lot so actually I made money in my local currency, lel.

+90 goddamnit and +80 two diff trades. I am ending up with some kind of retarded scalping. My algo is not fit for that and I get <40% of MFE

NQ short

+80

NQ short algo

Down 1% for the day right now. Should have kept the bonds as they have been doing fine past fake dip. ;) Will be more careful from now since basically this is landmine news. Still, will sit around and watch until the top of the hour for change to trend behavior.
