    Silver price down move hurting a bit to be sure.

    And stopped out by algo, price move in silver has not been ideal. -2400. Thus down to just +500 for last month, sigh.

    A bit afraid silver will immediately bounce from here but obviously a bad idea to re-enter when the premise of my entry was flawed, so holding off on that. If there's an issue with this trade it's entirely on me for not understanding silver behavior and seeing the initial large price decrease before entry as a precursor to mean reversion rather than trend.

    In the future, I will add volatility scaling to positions held by algo as my impression is silver is more volatile now than backtest periods.

    Sell NAS100USD x -8 @ 7683 stop 7861

    Starting to build bear position, this shit is quite evidently going down. Planning to add on minor bull moves on the way down. Might adjust stop of this position if there is an immediate risk of it being it (I'm fine with up to 2000$ risk here)

    Edited stop to 7861 as I really don't need to get stopped out narrowly here. Adverse move around -1000 to be expected.

    Sell ASX200 x -20 @ 6676 stop 6707

    Way narrower, want trade and index with different characteristics than tech.

    Nice, +2400 unrealized. Now just waiting for Trump to make some BS statement to try to save the situation.

    I wanted to add more like I said, but want to wait for a retrace so that I can tighten up stops a bit.

    Sell NAS100USD x -17 @ 7591 stop 7604

    Intraday pos. Might widen stop a bit if it survives first few minutes.

    Move stop 7613, no use with cramped stop here. Pretty sure day ends lower barring news intervention.
