Had to leave everything hedged earlier today and now find price in a sandwich which presents a new challenge.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

EU long released @9669, pending long @9850 @9690 @9593 hedged.

May have been a bit early hedging that last one but price got to a position where I've effectively neutralised my long-time short 145 pips away.
I could close all and reset but will continue testing the ground as there's no real need to, unless you count the long swap on occasion.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

Having fun at the moment balancing work and trading, placed a bad trade earlier today and didn't like the look of it so closed the basket and took a 1% hit, account +4% since early March.

I feel I'm about to get my pants pulled down here when I say I'm not 100% sure, let's just say this small live testing account is running at +4% and each position is the smallest amount my broker will allow per trade which is 0.0017 of the initial account. I always focus on the equity number, let the beating begin.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.
