Timed stop before US close here, don't want to sit with a loss hoping over weekend. Currently, economic crisis = good again (stimulus?) it appears.

...and back to MAE. Going to exit this at neutral or slightly below as trade disqualified itself for further risk.

Down to zero again. Long side is 50% NQ and 50% ES, the latter underperforming today.

Agreed. Dec '18 was all about "zomg no more QE/higher interest rates!" but that was a condition entirely manageable by central banks.

Trade at +3.2k at time of writing, expecting it to revert back to zero before heading higher though. On a side note, USD/SEK steamrolling, should have waited a bit more before getting rid of over 50% of my USD.

Buybacks are completely pointless unless you're planning to sell your shares. Companies end up buying highs.

While a bit tangential to the thread and anecdotal, interesting stats nonetheless.

Almost all conventional metrics were screaming bubble before this black swan. Sure, "this time it's different because low interest rates..." I don't know if the horse has left the barn, but it's not entirely unlikely if it has.

A bit of mean reversion happening initially (expected as much as I'm certainly curve fitted like hell to recent favorable price history) -1.2k so far, MAE -3.3k MFE 1.3k. 150kusd notational/9kusd net position (small short bias).

Started algo "I had left in the shed" on $30.8k that goes long large cap and short small cap. Might be late but honestly I think there is a good 50% downside remaining in Russell 2000. Wanted to start it last night but had tech issues.

Sure, but this is not what Trump has been claiming all along (really, it's in his tweet history). So while you're right in objective reality with most of your paragraph you're failing to acknowledge Trump's twisted self image as stock market rocket ship creator crumbling, which is what the...

Of course, that's a useful psychological trick. In objective reality you're losing money by being long something going down. It's a bit similar to scaling into winning positions to let initial profits cover an exit so if it goes the wrong way. A criticism would be that you would make a tiny bit...

Is this because they cannot sell it on Amazon and Ebay anymore or because there is adequately priced supply now? If the former, they need to get their asses moving and set up their own website.

Far out puts were underpriced because 11 years since last crash have made people and algos alike forget.

Straight to hell criterion fulfilled, exited -334. Going to bed

Tiny buys here (learnt my lesson): Buy NAS100USD x 5 @ 7171 stop 7085 Buy Europe 50 x 7 @ 2543 stop 285 Liquidating early Euro session if it doesn't go straight to hell immediately.

Current NAV 71 217 (>80 000 two weeks ago before Fed rate cut) => Gonna transfer out 40 000 as I now see a lot more opportunities for long term investments than in January. Besides, the money is mostly sitting there as I don't have the time necessary update myself as mentioned above to different...

Closed everything (gold included) for another -500. Heavily edited: 'Gold trade idea is probably still valid but I will re-evaluate after proper sleep. ASX200 entry looks similar to the "pick turning point at no particular time of note" gambling game I keep failing at.' I did sit around for...

Stop hit -500 Doubled here back to pre-stop size, very narrow.

Sell ASX200 x -15 @ 5850 stop 5937 Sell XAUUSD x -52 @ 1668.57 stop 1684.78 Not buying the rally in ASX. As for gold, not looking nearly as strong has I would have expected and another bounce down here would be logical. Edit: Sell ASX200 x -15 @ 5834 stop 5882 I *susect* I am on the right...
