Down 1% for the day right now. Should have kept the bonds as they have been doing fine past fake dip. Will be more careful from now since basically this is landmine news. Still, will sit around and watch until the top of the hour for change to trend behavior.
+90 goddamnit and +80 two diff trades. I am ending up with some kind of retarded scalping. My algo is not fit for that and I get <40% of MFE
Gonna quit the retard scalping as exciting as it is and realize this is not my day; there will be much better days since the positions I traded would allow me to make 10-20% when trend is clear from start. I also figured that my strategy of taking 1-1-1-1-1-1 position buildup should be changed to 2-1-1-1-1 because the main reason I quit is when I have a profit on first position (which has best alpha) and I see second position starting to accumulate a loss resulting in the threat of combined position getting into a loss. I try to risk manage for zero risk w/ respect to initial entry as much as possible.
On a side note, I'm too quick to write back to this journal. Was writing here when today's bottom occurred.
NQ back at lower end of day range. Of course, daily graph looking quite exciting now and a bigger correction would be very nice, but I don't rule out BTFD going victorious yet again.. Can't trade remainder of week unfortunately despite volatility likely to be great.
