Done absolutely nothing today trade-wise, just monitored my EU positions, price slowly moving north. Have re-read the thread, and run some simulations, and can see I may have been over-averaging so far. Doing nothing and self-analysis can be quite beneficial, love learning new things.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

Since banking shorts at 1.0860 some days ago, two of the 4 EU longs closed at small profit or BE, whilst I could close the other 2 to bring the whole trade to a close I'll try squeezing the hedge smaller. If price continues north I'll close the whole basket if it it goes south I'll start banking shorts again.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

All EU longs banked bar one at 1.08587, left a pending short hedge overnight at 1.08292 which is now in play. I’ll bank the short at 1.08200, if it gets there, and start dropping longs again on the way down. 3.2% rise in a month, on one pair, many trades and no SLs used.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

L&S S&P500

Last EU long soon to close (probably), unfortunately whilst my short did go below 1.08200 I was out of the room and didn't set the TP, oh well I'll see if I can trade it out.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.
