Move stop to breakeven. Think I'll risk midnight gap. Edit: Stopped

To be clear, I think my biggest systematic error is that when there's a clear intraday trend (like last 20 minutes previous days) I have a mental block towards simply trying the opposite trade; "it's too easy so it must reverse!" So I end up failing for 3 days straight. To be fair, price...

Buy NAS100USD x 20 @ 7621 stop 7615

If stop for some reason doesn't get hit then I hold to afterhours at most. Edit: Hit

Buy NAS100USD x 20 @ 7650 stop 7650 (moved up)

Wishful thinking is rife on this topic, as is the case in Sweden. We're closing in on the level where we'll be seeing electricity shortages during harsh winters here.

Fantastic, stop hit by 1 pt more than half an hour later. Will see when I can make another entry...

Overall last three days have been a shitshow and illustrate that I have much to learn (if I can ever). NAV 21031ish

Move stop to breakeven, bet it will be hit.

Buy NAS100USD x 20 @ 7643 stop 7637

Woke up, nice down momentum resumed now. Looks there will be another red day. Holding off as I'm not convinced enough that changing bias is a good idea here.

Buy China A50 x 2 @ 12787 stop 12718 "in case" tomorrow is very positive. Comparatively minor position at 1x leverage of account. Obviously I can enter NQ much easier than China with higher leverage later tomorrow if it turns out useful.

Well F*, 1% in 20 minutes. There goes my entry plan. Trying options looks increasingly attractive as I wouldn't need to follow this demented price path with a stop...

Note that there's a delicious irony of trying long entries for 2 days straight and getting wrecked due to continued trend. Should probably set up an opposing short trade on a different index (SPX or Russell) during clearly volatile conditions like these. Don't got hedging functionality on CFD...

One trade failed earlier for -100 EUR (didn't manage the stop move on that one), and one for -10 EUR a few minutes ago. Really liking the situation however, just a question of when I can get in without getting wrecked by remaining panic trend. Might wait until after midnight. Corn only thing...

Buy NAS100USD x 14 @ 7649 stop 7649 (yeah moved up stop before posting here). Edit: Stopped 4 EUR loss. This is what I should have been doing instead of losing about 900 today. Should put a big piece of paper on my wall saying MOVE UP STOP WHEN GOING COUNTER-TREND.

Reflecting: Why the f didn't I move up stops today anyway? Had 1:1 RR MFE on most trades before turned to dust by trend.

Should space out entries more. Stops everywhere today.

Buy NAS100USD x 8 @ 7681 stop 7674 Adding interlacing position with narrow stop on top of wide one. Force closing trading app..

Buy NAS100USD x 8 @ 7679 stop 7638 We will see. Wider stop smaller position. Somehow I'm compulsively opening trade app again. Need to stop so I can get some other work done.
