    Market just moving around aimlessly, not what I designed this algo for (mean reversion algo would do better). Abstaining from any further entry.

    There were plenty of trends today, with bigger balls I would have caught more (such staying short at the top). Still OK day and I'm up nearly 1000 since I started using the algo at start of week. However, whether I can keep this up is very regime dependent.

    Trying short due to end of day market imbalance. Edit: Nope stopped for -4, owned by faster algos. Regardless, I'm sure I would've lost 100 with my manual trading in comparison.

    The last 5 minutes can cause whiplash, aye.

    Short trend NQ. Looking for a bit more weakness after yesterday's strength, keeping until after China open. May re-evaluate if seeing things taking off in different direction. Kinda expecting that to happen during Asian session which is why I'll exit shortly after open at latest unless major down trend.

    Closed for -8, scenario not playing out as intended. Sleep is better investment.

    Started long trend algo on NQ here. Should perhaps have done before spike at open, but w/e. Edit: It's now locked in breakeven anyway, if it whiplashes then so be it.

    Quit for +250, MFE 450 or so.

    Started scaled down long. Missed intended entry due to posting here, should really make it post Tweets instead so I don't tank my trading.

    Closed for -20, market not moving in way friendly to algo.

    Trying another NQ long (admittedly before Michigan data)
