Moving stops on AUD/CAD to 0.9386, basically want it to continue down heavily by today or I see it as a signal that it will mean revert again...
Stops were hit on AUD/CAD, I intend to re-enter once they moved back a bit. Gold climbing again... might be too narrow stop previously. NAV 19000. Will continue holding NATGAS through March if I dare.
On daily chart, equity indices are in an interesting situation looking like the classic parabola of death... Unsure if there's a point shorting though so I won't unless something fundamental comes up or otherwise steady downwards momentum similar to what we saw in September happens (unlikely). February is obviously going to go down into the records as a failed month... Can March compensate for that?
Sell AUD/CAD x 78000 @ 0.9435 stop 0.9588 Reinstating AUD/CAD short since it has done its mandatory mean reversion movement in channel.. (As mentioned last week, I narrowed stop and it got hit quite soon after.) Will make a summary for previous month when I get around to it.
Many equity indices have cleared death parabola, at this point I'm worrying a bit about getting on late nonetheless. However, clearly being just 1x with a mainstream equity index has been a winning strategy previous two months. Meanwhile, I've been making untalented intraday trades. To be fair, when I opened up this journal with the title "intraday adventures" I was kind of hopeful for volatility to remain high for at least a part of the year. Now it seems we're back to QE-style calm (but it may prove a dangerous assumption to make).
Moving stop on NATGAS to 2.82, since I'm basically trading in the blind to a large extent I can't afford a larger fall than today's without profit being majorly eroded. Hoping for a new channel bottom, if it isn't I'm out.
Buy XAUUSD x 62 @ 1286.08 stop 1271.5 Never surrender (well, more like, solid turning point if any)... NATGAS stop was hit previously (slightly too narrow it turns out, but that's how it usually goes). At least got some profit from that. NAV down to 18562 though for "reasons" (detailed in journal already). Big question of the day, BTFD in equity indices or not?
Buy China A50 x 2 @ 12588 stop 12338 Taking my chances. As far as I can tell, this is simply a sour day.
