    So summary before actual sleep:

    China A50, NQ, Corn, Gold still in game. Hong Kong just super negative today and stopped again.

    Down 500 EUR from start, MFE at about 22900 previous in night, then again, any "home run" will easily correct that.

    Considering moving Corn stop to wider given I intend to keep that position until mid June.

    Exiting equity so I can sleep, I am basically fighting momentum. NAV 22176. Gold, corn, natgas remaining.

    TBH rather afraid of missing out on a recovery rally triggered by some kind of poodle from Trump (if that term translates to English). Will probably have to re-enter later if stops are once again taken out, this shit doesn't currently fly. Then again, given amount of panic, mine included (e.g. China A50 CFD -6.3% since previous close) this should be perfect long entry for quick trade.

    Move stop China A50 12819. No particular reason (price not moving) other than it being fairly tight for my purposes. Want to go jogging without it being randomhit.

    Moving stop corn 3.35

    Put stop onto time scale I want (mid June). Max risk ~630 EUR. Currently breakeven. Discretionary abort if it doesn't start trending up nearest two weeks.

    Slightly concerned about USD strength and could have shorted soybeans while at it, but afraid of crowding in short beans (whereas the opposite works to my advantage when long corn which is super crowded on bear side). It goes without saying I don't got a way to place proper pair trades either and manual reconstruction would be sketchy without OCO.

    Closed equities for 200 EUR profit some (MFE much larger, closer to 1000 EUR), will reopen NQ. China A50 had some absurd behavior, and 'unfortunately' touched stop prompting me to manually close NQ.

    LOL China A50 was apparently tanked by news that Chinese state is intending to "stabilize equities" by buying. Worked so great last time (sarcasm). Too bad I ran with squawk muted.

    Edit: The floor I'm seeing is probably state buying (slow thinking)

    Edit2: Short above floor? :D
