NAV: 8.66 HKD (-1M deposits) Wow markets moved exactly as my prediction - Crypto plunged, NQ new low, shorts tanked massively... ... but I did not make any money. I feel so stupid. I learn that even shorting in a bear market isn't easy. There're many dead cat bounces that take away profits...

NAV: 8.70M HKD (-1M deposits) Was still short a bit early session but flipping to Long now.

NAV: 9.14M HKD (-1M deposits) wow US really tanking tonight. Unfortunately my ADR too.

I trade discretionarily. But yes I should at least start implementing rules, especially for risk management, as the account is bigger now. I probably won't go fully systematic though. You are spot on. Confidence has always been a problem with me. My confidence changes very quickly. I could be...

NAV: 7.69M HKD (-1M deposits) Huge losses this week. Self-reflecting. My friend invested 100k into my "fund" at the start of week, so I could get a taste of trading people's money, and immediately my biggest losing streak occurred. It was also the reason I resumed this journal. But I am going...

currently going for this: +20 HSI (21M exposure) -4 NQ (-8M exposure) (on top of all the stocks) i think HSI will go up this afternoon and tomorrow meanwhile US should be stale/choppy while everyone wait for feds. But do monitor US closely as its volatile times. Reflecting on the big loss...

NAV: 9.66M HKD (-1M deposits) The afternoon NQ surge last night really hurt.

NAV: 11.20M HKD (-1M deposits) weekend positions

NAV: 10.28M HKD (-1M deposits) post market earnings (AMZN) saved me last night. I fell asleep accidentally otherwise I wouldve taken some losses before market close. China tech surge today reinforces my mid-long term long china view. Great fundamentals, cheaply valued, plus Chinese...

NAV: 9.94M HKD (-1M deposits) I'm back. Gonna tackle this again. Maybe I'll post my reasons and thoughts later, maybe not. I need to learn not to care so much what others think of me. If I can't achieve this online anonymously then how can I hope to achieve it irl? Just bought the book...

I'm not familiar with trading currencies but I'm looking to obtain a sizable position in holding long CNH long term. What's the best/cheapest/most efficient way to do this on IBKR? 1) CNH Futures eats up my margin on IBKR. Almost like 15x the margin requirement of NQ futures (normalized to...

Low stakes poker are filled with recreational players so it's easy money. Try moving up stakes and see if you can still win comfortably. Online $200 USD buyin+ NLHE cash games are very tough too, in general. On the contrary, trading is tough regardless of your trading size. You're still...

Exactly! I feel obligated to justify all my decisions. Naturally I start saying what people want to hear instead of what I really think, which in turn affects my own thoughts and disturbs my inner mindset equilibrium. I play poker, I am enrolled in masters of financial mathematics (despite in...

NAV: 4.52M HKD (-300K deposits) I've decided to scale down on my trading as current levels of exposure are affecting my emotions too much and distracting me from doing other work - of course if I keep winning like I did I could do this full time and quit everything else, but it's clear that I...

You are probably right. I'll start thinking about placing mandatory stops. Please don't say that, we're all equals here sharing thoughts and helping everyone improve. I am far from any trading guru. If anything, it's more like I'm learning from everyone's questions and feedback.

NAV: 5.28M (-300K deposits) Another good day. Recouped mid-day losses and end in the greens. Not sleeping yet so currently still -12 NQ.

NAV: 4.62M HKD (-300K deposits) NQ and Oil just had a big move against my positions and here are the new numbers. (Was down 580K at one point). Fortunately I closed some NQ before the move, and then shorted again at higher level. Reduced the damage a little.

Thank you! :D Maybe it works differently for different people, but I've always preferred closing positions manually than to set strict stop loss levels, as I believe optimal exits should be dynamic adjusting to new information instead of being one static price.

I also kept trading NQ in and out leading to some losses. Most likely over-trading due to fear of losing my gains, especially when I keep anchoring to the new NAV highs. Some bad habits and biases here I think, I'll reflect on this later.
