Snuskpelle's CFD Adventures 2020

Short NQ here, small position (18 units) stop 8832

Edit: Adverse excursion, quitting this at neutral if it becomes possible.
Edit2: Closed -400

 

long NQ

Edit. Closed -20. Still screwy for my strategy.

 

Short NQ, coronavirus of unknown origin in the US

Edit: Closed +5, GF bothering me and some adverse excursion indicating support bouncing on is relevant..

 

Lost 560 on HK33 short (entered at literally bottom so went south faster than any neutral exit was possible). Going to bed, market isn't looking tradable for me with these vicious throwbacks.

 

Buy XAUUSD x 100 @ 1655.52 stop 1648.88

 

Added 100 more on Turkey firing at Russian military aircraft. Not saying it was smart to do so.

 

Cut here, -600.

 

Buy XAUUSD x 88 @ 1640.11 stop 1628.41

Either rangebound now or will resume up trend is my guess.

 

Buy NAS100USD x 28 @ 8404 stop 8366

Edit: Super shit trade -800. Doing far too large quantities.

 

Ok, reduced position sizes in trading app by 60% with same risk (=wider stops). Although I was already reducing it manually in many cases it's clear I need the default to work.

Of course, if I had order automation set up properly I would already have volatility targeting. This is a fairly expensive way to tune with live trades.
