Oh yeah, this is a case where leaving a small long pos on would have made sense. But I don't make sensible decisions.

Buy XAUUSD x 33 @ 1509.25 stop 1496.9
Proxy bear position on eq in case gold finally flies above 1500, may double at bit lower closer to 1500. I might go either long or short eq from here depending on how things develop. My personal opinion is chances of trade deal are horse shit.
And yeah, "channel ceiling" for the TA people. Obviously hoping for that to be broken.

Clear case where patience would have paid off. Anyway, doubling as planned.

Giving up here, closing for -440. Already spiked down (very barely missing my stop), then back up, but going down again. Better to avoid the spread associated with a hit stop during a spike. I'm sure this will be the low and the turning point. 
Sell NAS100USD x -11 @ 7716 stop 7736
Will add more later today, may also widen stop a bit if it survives first hour.

Going to bed. I suppose Caixin PMI might be of interest, but TBH given that China data has beat most recent times, there's room for negative surprises.

NQ stopped in night for -350, ASX200 exited at +380 now.
Would consider BTFD now but my GF and mother have various issues so staying out of market next few days until I feel I won't be randomly bothered.
Seems BTFD would have worked temporarily today, not sure if I should count myself lucky or not to stay out Not trading until Friday unless I feel very confident about something as mentioned above.
Deposited 4500 EUR, NAV now $52k. Still mulling depositing another 40k coming months from other account - don't really dare to stay long eq much from here anyway so I might as well trade with a bit more.
