Ok, they are going further into the direction of the previous snapshot. As I said leverage of the two futures is different, and they are positively correlated and have reversed positions, so the GBP should rise in profit and the JPY should fall in profit. It's happening, and what's also happening as expected is that the JPY position is losing more than what the GBP position is making.
So today is my fourth day of losses in a row, but I am ok, first, because I am used to losing a few hundreds, second, because it's not finished yet, and I've seen big changes. However, it's not looking too good, either. So I am not that happy of course. I have seen my capital go from 14k to 9k, and now it's dropping to 8k. Not too good. But I am following my system, entirely, so I know that's good in itself. And certainly I don't have that strong feeling of guilt that's associated with discretionary trading losses. I feel ok. I've lost 5300 so far in the past 4 days, but I feel ok.
That's the beauty of automated trading. With discretionary trading, I felt guilty when I lost money, because I felt it was entirely my fault. With automated trading, I feel guilty for making money because I don't feel I worked for it. This feeling of guilt would be dangerous, but since I don't have to trade, it will not be transformed into losses. |
