Move stop 155.07 Actually making stop larger despite trading moving slightly in my favor, since I expected there to be some kind of initial fake spike on FOMC announcement.

Buy USB30YUSD x 520 @ 155.59 stop 155.22 Leaving open through FOMC announcement. Switching to NQ trade after it.

Something going on in natural gas with 5.5% move. Game changer tech unveiled 5 hours ago. I am probably too late to the party though. Also considering longing US bonds until FOMC as a cut is pretty much 100% certain following Chicago PMI, but might be too late there too.

Waiting for FOMC impatiently. Local garbage currency continuing to lose value against USD. Do remember I was trying to hedge this in the beginning of the year losing 1000 EUR or something on that trade. I need to be on my toes in case long term trend changes further ahead, however.

Pizza eaten; turns out HK33 did continue down. Algo would have told me to stay in and be +200 or so by now due to a more allowing stop, but, I'm satisfied with manual exit since market behaved differently than I expected on entry and I had the aforementioned oversold concern. GN

Too choppy open for me to waste time on (in middle of night after all, having a pizza and going to bed).

Covered for -15 (Aware that we may be in oversold so quite careful here.)

Started short algo HK33

In these types of discussion, people generally leave out leverage and hence discuss oranges to pears. 60% p.a. with leverage isn't too unachievable from what I've gathered. Not blowing up one year is the hard part.

Market in ugly chop after open, not going to trade this. Not surprising given main course is later tomorrow tonight and currently I could make a mean reversion case for both directions using different time horizons. Edit: But break north as soon as I started writing here of course... Either way...

Arguably the main risk is not the money put in, rather it is time spent. You only live once. Trading only makes sense as a venture if you enjoy it.
