Unfortunately, also needed good exit and not just good entry as it turned out. Now waiting for AAPL earnings but unsure at what precise time those are released...
Couldn't trade today (hence trading yesterday), missed all the fun it seems. As usual, would have had good results holding onto positions longer. It's fine though, I can't sit with an unmonitored leveraged trade in current volatile regime. NAV 19641. EUR/SEK short hedge bleeding cash (even if in real terms, it doesn't impact me since it's offsetting EUR gain on my currency). Got to ask myself if it was the correct decision nonetheless, but too late now to change my mind. Moving stop to 10.58; because this a hedge different considerations than normal apply, and it would be dumb to have it stopped unless SEK is collapsing or something.
Closing NAV Jan 19576, going to summarize stats later today or in weekend. Entirely missed the big run up the past two days, but I am not really tempted jumping on a train late.
January: Return since start of journal: 19576 / 18036 = 8.5% (would be better if I included first week of Jan but let's keep to published facts) S&P500 return over same period: 2707 / 2549 = 6.2% (approximately, uses crappy chart) Return over 15 supposed trading days (basically excluding Tuesdays as stated): (19576 / 18036)^(1 / 15) = 0.55%/day, i.e. basically target Too lazy to calculate Sharpe here but I wouldn't be surprised if S&P500 B&H had better Sharpe over this period. On the flip side, equity performance has been exceptionally strong and it's unlikely to continue for the entirety of the year to put it mildly. Anyway, a bit underwhelming, and I was offered quite a few changes to do better by having had held positions longer. Something to consider for February. Another question is to what extent this is becoming a swing trading journal rather than an intraday journal...
Buy NAS100USD x 5 @ 6874 stop 6761 Standard BTFD. Can go some lower so have prepared for that. NAV 19640. AUD/CAD position has done alright, EUR/SEK terribly.
