Closed bond position for +151 after seeing it go from +240 MFE. Made ill fated algo start and lost 400 on NQ open.

Sell DE10YBEUR x -250 @ 178.21 stop 178.94 Because lol Euro debt pricing and market indicating it will not buy German debt at 0% yield. If I don't get stopped out, holding until I need the leverage for intraday.

Crossing the street. Trading made me much better at it.

NQ trading all over the place after July meeting minutes so won't step into the hornet's nest.

Thanks. Yeah, it will be interesting for sure.

^ fantastic, got closed out above bar high of 7732 (that is a midpoint though, so spread closed me out presumably). NQ went down noticeably after that. Either way, I didn't move position to zero risk as I now intend to do on all manual trades so I can really only blame myself. But hey, that's...

Stop hit for -200. MFE 100, should have reacted to it as it happened very soon after entry. Got into "hope it changes despite slow evidence of otherwise".

Short NQ x -27 @ 7725 stop 7733 Edit: NAS100USD

Was short two times, +15 (basically ended up with bad MAE both times and exited neutral). Holding on a bit longer would have allowed me to join down train after opening rally faded. Anyway, not going to fret about it, there will be better days with higher conviction/signal to noise. Unrelated...

Might try a short today, a bit stupid rally. However, don't mess with long bias...

Interesting highlights of coming week: Wed: Fed July meeting minutes release (time TBD) Thur: Jobless claims hour before open, PMI 15 min after open (need to multitask these as my weekly working day has been moved to Thursdays) Fri: Powell speech (time TBD, guessing start half an hour after open)

Denmark are unlikely to sell Greenland but it should be quite trivial to take it by force. Diplomatic repercussions probably outweighs any gains.

NQ still stuck in congestion following U Michigan data. Could be titled "why I should add price alerts".

NQ into congestion, lost 20 on early attempt to join breakout (cut this one unnecessarily early due to MAE near stop, as algo chose short and maximum possible excursion would have been +200). Waiting for next data arrival.

Pointless data and market behavior, waiting for market open in an hour. My guess is we will be down from here but I don't want to bet anything on it.

Managed to make 175 while multitasking from different issue yesterday by one algo activation shortly after open. Data today in half an hour and half an hour after open, together with open it means 3 time points of interests.

Btw did two algo activations amounting to -150 yesterday evening that I forgot to write about. Found that my auto trend bias logic tends to make poor choices if it doesn't trigger within a minute or so (usually at which time the 5s bar graph looks quite different), so I might experiment putting...

Closed here for +75, realized I have a long delayed Windows update scheduled this night... Would be better off sleeping for tomorrow. AND tomorrow is a nice data day. Probably I won't be able to trade but will make an effort to multitask.

Started long algo on NQ here, quite comfortable leaving on for 1-2 h, because of potential RR.

Nice study, guess there's a strong correlation to affordability. As it finds, Sweden's capital sucks. Be rich, take a loan worth your life time income to buy a shoebox sized place at a peaking property market, or live in the ghetto until by the time of retirement (have you not been shot before...
