Stopped, -60 and had another crash. Just bleh, need to fix this code. Edit: Trying a short Edit2: Noticed it's easy to lose a lot of money fast when clicking a button to enter. Unfortunately can't do the non-directional bets as Russell crashes, lol Manually stopped for -30. Need to let market...

Long trend NQ, will see how it fares. If it doesn't follow through quickly I'll stop manually.

Weak price data, trying trend short on NQ 30-60 minutes. Edit: Trump tweeting shit so might have to exit this one. Edit2: Yepp -80. Short is still on but all initial trades stopped.

Had to close for -60, another socket disconnection wrecking havoc. Going to debug Friday/Monday.

Start long trend on NAS100/DE30. Probably late into it but had to eat my breakfast... US price data in an hour, will close positions 30 min before open and then potentially re-open after.

Closing for -55, too tired to monitor. (HK also closeable now) OK for day anyway

Eh forgot that I hadn't implemented end of session close. Anyway, position in HK33 is minor so no worries I think. But that will definitely lead to a Black Swan for my account at some point if I let it go unhandled.

Trying a double algo activation while monitoring: Long trend DE30EUR HK33 MAE -50. While manually cut if reaching -100 (stoploss is around this level anyway)

Wth can't sleep so started another long on HK33 just in the interest of testing. May well be late into trend but algo is supposed to handle that gracefully.

Closed at +450, don't trust this buggy POS while I sleep. Need to fix disconnect handling ASAP. NAV 20004 (yeah, had a really bad streak acting like a moron last week.. hopefully have returned stronger since it pushed me into finalizing my first automation).

+350 EUR so far, now wondering whether I should terminate algo to be able to sleep or leave it on...

Temporary Internet disconnection immediately illustrated reliability issue of running this on home PC... -20 EUR due to changing positions around several times. Also need to handle disconnection in app in better way than crashing to debugger, lel.

Leaving it running on long trend on live account as a trial, thinking market is oversold nearest hours. Could also short Russell as a hedge but haven't tested running two algo instances at same time yet so abstaining. Will try to make it post Twitter updates when I have time so I don't need to...

Some loose extraposition on the algo I intend to run: I designed it to do great when trend either changes direction from start (small loss) or follows through without too much backtrack (large win). Because it adds into trend, where loss will be big is if a lot of sub-trades are made that are...

Finished preliminary trading application that incorporates trend following algo I backtested in weekend. It's extremely simple and just a single process (C#/WinForms) for now, meaning not incredible fault tolerance. It does set stoplosses properly baked into the trade entry order so risk is...

CORNUSD stop blown through on Friday (you can probably guess in response to what). Minor trade size no big deal, that said it kinda sucks given that it was on decent MFE within a few hours of entry. Anyway, acting according to plan is more important. Implemented backtest of trend following...

(Also today being a girlfriend day means I missed the reversal I've been waiting for whole week. Fun times. If I had above automation I would basically put it on uptrend and go AFK.)

Taking a brake from intraday until I have a automation that handles riding a trend as past couple of days has convinced the fully manual approach is making me lose out on most opportunities. It should be enough for me to press the up key on keyboard to specify that I think the market is...

Sell HK33HKD x -40 @ 28656 stop 28655 (moved down) Trying to switch direction on evident down trend as mused on previous evening. Stop hit (narrow)

Buy NAS100USD x 14 @ 7599 stop 7589 Have a hard time to believe it will become worse than this unless momentum continues and we get a proper meltdown. Anyway, don't listen to me I've been longing like a moron all week. If there is a worry it's that Chinese gov intervention on their stock...
