10 AM ET. I expect the markets to go down initially, like they do every other time he opens his yap. Remember his first day on the job as Fed chairman? Was a hell of a ride. The guy is cursed.
Sell DE10YBEUR x -250 @ 178.21 stop 178.94 Because lol Euro debt pricing and market indicating it will not buy German debt at 0% yield. If I don't get stopped out, holding until I need the leverage for intraday.
Closed bond position for +151 after seeing it go from +240 MFE. Made ill fated algo start and lost 400 on NQ open.
Well had to multitask this day too as it happens. No sufficiently persisting trend for that and market seems to be hesitating. Doesn't take too much imagination to see a top here (but on the other hand, without confirmation, this kind of chart reading is BS) so sitting out until next week unless we manage new highs or lows today.
Activated NQ short algo (very slow reaction due to multitask) It's taking very small positions due to high vol so comfortably leaving unmonitored.
Ok, +0.6% on first pos. Then stopped on 2nd and 3rd pos while monitoring, at size 2x and 5.5x as large respectively as first. Second was not moved to breakeven and incurred a loss larger than win on first pos... So need to make sure all positions are sized according to volatility that sized first pos (i.e. maximum of that and current vol). In conclusion, correct entry, flaw in algo exposed losing me money. Fortunately trivial to fix.
Sell HK33HKD @ -15 @ 25659 stop 25876 Manual short on HK33 that I can leave on for today, <400/1% risk.
