Snuskpelle's (kind of) Intraday Adventures 2019

Nah, once again entering pos at Asian session with intent of holding unmonitored to US proves a terrible idea (for me). Wakened by stop sounds, -450
 
So, up 400 on monitored positions. Then down, 650 on unmonitored positions due to sleep attempts (out of all now). -250ish for day. Atm I will have to concede that messing up sleep in order to lose money is a pretty poor trade indeed.
 
Let's see: -600 today and yesterday in total on pure intraday trades. Stopping to post realtime updates as those interfere too much with monitoring.

Found out what I need to prioritize fixing, top is automatic trend direction selection in algo because I am worse than a monkey at picking it. I.e. while I am fairly OK in seeing whether there's a trend, I always want to bet against it like it's going to end on the next pullback.

Give yourself some credit here, this has been an unusual week. The last 5 trading days have been whacked.

Well, I wish I could say that, but I sucked. At least, I should solve a couple of repeatable issues I have before proceeding.
 
Added automatic trend direction detection and improved risk calculations in intraday algo. While there was an in-sample improvement the expectation is the main utility will come from overriding my dumb cognitive biases. Now just waiting for some market opens/volatility.
 
Three algo activations today:
-450 (started on false up spike after open, incurred stops in a few seconds...)
+350
+0 (shut down manually after leading nowhere)

Either way alright day since there wasn't a lot of suitable market movement during US session. Will try to trade HK tonight if I can time sleep beforehand.
 
NQ has been mostly indecisive today. Managed to catch a small part of up move after open, +130. Not expecting any drivers beyond BTFD, but the question is if that's enough anymore.
 
Woohoo +500 after going AFK for 2 min leaving auto trigger on.

Edit: But lol, exited this one way early. Would have been +2000 if I had waited a bit more. Tariff news apparently.
