I'm flat now, took small losses across the board. I'm glad I'm trading tiny on forex. No new trades until I get set up for automated entry.
My first autotrade was a 52 pip winner! I am running a daytrade algo and an entry algo for my swing trades. My daytrade algo is going to run to the long side until I turn it off. My entry algo got me in at 1.3577 for the swing trade which is pretty awesome compared to the days range.
I closed the trade. I ran my code and don't like what I see after today's action and the changes to the NLs. I got two winning trades though, and without the automation it would have been one loser.
I thought it might be cool to do something like this: sss12 long EWZ puts 5/15 eurusdzn long bias gold/miners, tips, and short bias usd/jpy week of 5/15 baggerlord long bias gbp/usd 5/17 Feel free to add or update your opinion as it goes along. Nice calls eurusdzn. I almost pulled the trigger on some physical silver Saturday but got really pissed off when I realized my $500 ebay bucks coupon had expired, and decided I didn't want to give them any business. Oh well.
Took profits on EWZ puts and GDX calls. Probably leaving vig on table but traveling rest of week and don't want to deal.
Here is a view of my spreadsheet I'm using to look for trade ideas. For each product line 1, 2, and 3 and fast, medium and slow acd derivatives. I look for an extreme, and then a move out of the extreme. IE for a buy, a bright red low extreme, and then a move out of the bright red range, kind of like an overbought/sold indicator but very different in where it comes from. It has to be spot checked against charts of course.
