Not focused enough on open to make an entry despite nice initial trend, was still opening News feed and tuning order after one minute. Should have gone into mental preparation mode earlier than five min before open.
Iranian general killed by the US giving some nice volatility. Long XAU+XAG short XCU up to 1050 unrealized.
Now the question is whether to BTFD or not?
+2597 total on closed since midnight (including JP225 held over New Year)
Still irking me that I got scared by the drop at time of HK33 open as that was low of day, could have made way more from this.
Move stop NAS100USD to 8808. Very narrow but I need to rest a bit before market open, have been coding through night and day. Stop rather than outright exit because it may well run higher.
That's a very good point.
A parallel - I can technically reverse engineer other people's code by looking at the machine code in a disassembler, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily fun or even a useful way of spending my time. Writing my own shit is 50x faster or even more when there are no...
Buy NAS100USD x 28 @ 8769 stop 8748
Just having a hunch markets will be in party New Year mood today. Classifying this as BTFD because we're not at a short term extreme unlike last week.
Edit: Also perfect timing for a small dip to at least 1/3 of stop...
Move stop on JP225 to 23526, want to let it run if possible but don't want to risk profit here which will be enough to cover previous failed ASX200 trade.
Restarting dumb beta algo next week as I plan to finish modifications in weekend.
It's a crime but I agree there's no point to give long sentences for this unless they repeat it. Conditional sentence + requirement to pay illicit profits to the state would be appropriate. Of course I have no idea what actual Russian law says.
