Finally new account high and up by 1600 in February, hope I can stay away from over-confidence trades for a while.
Buy NAS100USD x 21 @ 9533 stop 9483
Might be I am early but let's give it a whirl. Nothing material changed.

Bigger MAE than I expected (~-600) so better to secure even though graph looks "great" now.
Awaiting US data in 75 minutes.

Lost 200 on one NQ trade and regained it on another.
Trying an entry order as I'm convinced that we're either at LOD or day will end negative:
Trigger Sell US2000USD x -221 @ 1687.7 stop 1693.2

Triggered. Not too impressed thus far with precise reversal point at order trigger price. Anyway, my first price triggered order ever so it's interesting to observe.

Shit trade, MAE very near stop (-1000). Might continue down here I think (not enough want to carry over-weekend risk) but had my fill of adventure for the day.
Think that I'm not going to use price triggered orders without having backtested a specific strategy in the future, but there was some value in seeing how it executed live on my position size. I've entered such orders a few times before but chickened out and cancelling them. Either way, since this is just a very basic algo and commonly available it doesn't surprise me if it's screwed over maximally.

Been slow this month just like second half of Jan, but that's the way it is with limited time to develop additional trade ideas. Still waiting to get on another intraday trend moment to push account to proper new highs. Not really feeling I should be chasing beta at the moment with most metrics off the scales.
