Snuskpelle's CFD Adventures 2020
- Thread starter Snuskpelle

Started algo "I had left in the shed" on $30.8k that goes long large cap and short small cap. Might be late but honestly I think there is a good 50% downside remaining in Russell 2000. Wanted to start it last night but had tech issues.
A bit of mean reversion happening initially (expected as much as I'm certainly curve fitted like hell to recent favorable price history) -1.2k so far, MAE -3.3k MFE 1.3k. 150kusd notational/9kusd net position (small short bias).
Trade at +3.2k at time of writing, expecting it to revert back to zero before heading higher though.
On a side note, USD/SEK steamrolling, should have waited a bit more before getting rid of over 50% of my USD.

Down to zero again. Long side is 50% NQ and 50% ES, the latter underperforming today.
...and back to MAE. Going to exit this at neutral or slightly below as trade disqualified itself for further risk.
Timed stop before US close here, don't want to sit with a loss hoping over weekend. Currently, economic crisis = good again (stimulus?) it appears.
Closed -3400. Might turn around Monday but can't sit around hoping over a weekend gap. Would prefer to sit and monitor downtrend but too many interruptions from girlfriend tonight.
As you might have guessed, I overbet this with twice as high allocation to strategy as I should. I fear I am still going "full Harold" (see a certain recent movie) after the Fed rate cut hit. When I'm on an account peak I get overly conservative, when I'm in a big drawdown I like to take increased bets (and every time in that context, a trade that I bet extra big on is one that I end up losing).
Since progress for 2020 has essentially been reset due to this, will put pause button until I get my head in order.

Buy EUR/TRY x 60 000 @ 7.0165 stop 6.3560
Going to leave this trade on on this acc (approx 8.4k remaining after transferring out past weeks as previously described) until I figure out something else I want to do and simply not look at it. With TRY it's nice to have loss bound at account limit as ESMA regulates... -.-
