NAV: 3.74M HKD
Gonna try this trend following strategy trading CL, PL, EUR and HE.
I assisted in backtesting and improving this strategy at one of my previous jobs.
I still remember the essence of it, and that these 4 futures were best performing while not being too correlated.
Now that I'm trading my own money, I can jump right in (starting with relatively small sizes) and trade it manually. We'll see later whether any systems / automations are needed.

These are my positions over the weekend.
Bot some more Chinese stocks, there's a small part of me that believes in value investing and these stocks look cheap... but all they've been doing lately is making new lows so I don't know... can't be too wrong I guess when I'm so short overall.
I closed the hogs and added on to CL EUR and MCL. I think in these times of critical events, vol increases as well as correlation so I'll remind myself not to go crazy with these exposures.
Edit: Closed one more NQ so -4 over the weekend.

NAV: 4.65M HKD (-300k deposits)
Didn't have enough margin so I deposited 300k today.
Stocks were eating up margin preventing me to short the market, so I sold them all. Probably a mistake having bought them in the first place and I did feel stupid selling them at loss. Happens when I have contradicting views and couldn't make up my mind (buy cheap stocks vs short the trend). Will reflect more on this later I guess...
Also increased exposure on most of the positions
Very good day today, things going my way. Almost +500k.
Not much else to say, trading feels easy when I'm winning, and my views are the same for now.
