Buy NAS100USD x 10 @ 7833.9 stop 7760 BTFD

Closed TRY positions for minor profit since Turkish rate decision is today. Reopening tomorrow.

Oh it's Padu, now the thread title makes perfect sense.

Contemplating on whether to short some Euro bonds but I am not too keen on paying yields without a backtested strategy taking that into account, so I might abstain.

Out of curiosity, what is his book called?

Not much aside from silver up, not so good for this acc though for my other acc...

Looking out for NFP in a few mins

Close XAG/USD -1560 (MFE around 2500 IIRC) Could have closed it yesterday instead of giving it the benefit of doubt, but... Might be at low now but since I got silver exposure elsewhere I'd like to reduce dependence on silver price coming month...

Close HK33HKD +1850 Will close silver/copper pos if it moves against me much more.

Once again, shit day to be "afk" (well not entirely) and miss the fireworks. 4k unrealized MFE turned to 1.5k unrealized (mostly due to silver moving sharply down and copper up some)... Sure, was mulitasking and taskswitching watch acc falling one hundred at a time through afternoon; I basically...

Moved HK33 stop to zero risk.

Ok, HK33 position up 3.75% from purchase, nice. "Should have bought more", mr. Hindsight is speaking. Downside risk with that stop though was fairly extensive so fine... Copper up (i.e. bad) at the same time, but correlation with equities was expected. Nearing $4k for September, a bit afraid...

Like it or not, the wars of the future will be fought by the machines. Anyway who doesn't have war robots will be at a massive disadvantage, so I suspect this will end the era of AK47 "equality". Drones are but a taste of what is to come. That said, I am not sure robots is the point of the...

Buy HK33HKD x 14 @ 25589 stop 24480 (About 1x leverage of acc, just putting this in the drawer for now, no fancy algo) I am at risk of being overconfident due to good result since last week. Still getting the sense it's time to discard the bear attitude w.r.t. company valuation given rate cut...

Silver/copper trade doing well and now up more than $2k NQ indecisive today. My hypothesis is we will be seeing ~8200ish within a few months (with some reversals in between). If that doesn't happen, well shit, I make money from the XAG/XCU trade.

Turkish inflation on the way down, TRY on the way up. Missed my intended entry level as email from external notification service are somehow deleted by Gmail anti-spam, but better late than never so changed algo from sim to live on $6500 sub-acc. Probably will suffer some mean reversion due to...

Intend to start shorting some bonds soon once there's concrete evidence of the sustained bond rally ending. While I only have access to gov bonds I am looking especially at the German 10Y as it doesn't take too much imagination to see that majorly tipping over given the chart. Only allowed 5x on...

Launched another semi-martingale, this time on NAS100USD (essentially same algo limited to 4x position sizing plus some volatility dependent position modulation), as that on backtest has been doing better this year than my other NQ algos. I already have a reasonably bearish position (long...

Thanks. Will continue along this style until end of December, then I'll consider changes. So far, I think it does help with establishing consistency and having to motivate why I take/took decisions.
