I have tried few EAs before on HFM and my mistake was expecting the bot to make decisions better than me without a tested logic. No-code tools look interesting, but I would still forward test on demo for few months before trusting real money. Automation is useful only when the strategy is already solid

Date: 24th April 2026. Markets Caught Between War Risks and Strong Earnings. Global markets are closing the week in a fragile balance, caught between escalating geopolitical tensions and resilient corporate performance. While the conflict between the United States and Iran continues to disrupt energy markets, investors are not fully retreating yet. At the center of the story is oil, but the ripple effects are now spreading across currencies, bonds, equities, and overall market sentiment. Oil Prices Extend Rally as Supply Risks Intensify Oil prices have now risen for a fifth consecutive session, with Brent Crude pushing towards the $100-105 range and West Texas Intermediate trading close to $96-97 per barrel. The rally reflects growing concern that supply disruptions could persist longer than expected. The key issue remains the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. Normally responsible for transporting around 20% of global oil and gas flows, the strait remains effectively closed amid military tensions, naval blockades, and attacks on vessels. As long as flows remain restricted, oil markets are likely to stay tight, supporting elevated prices. Geopolitical Tensions Keep Markets on Edge Despite a temporary ceasefire extension announced by Donald Trump, there has been little meaningful progress towards de-escalation. Military operations in the region continue, with US forces intensifying efforts to secure shipping routes, while Iran has responded with aggressive actions, including vessel seizures and attacks. This leaves markets facing ongoing uncertainty, with no clear timeline for resolution, keeping risk premiums elevated, particularly in energy markets. Rising Oil Prices Reignite Inflation Concerns Higher oil prices are beginning to feed into broader macro concerns. Energy costs influence everything from transportation to production, meaning sustained price increases could reignite global inflation pressures. This presents a challenge for central banks that had been hoping for a more stable inflation environment. Asian Markets Mixed as Investors Turn Cautious Asian equity markets reflected this cautious sentiment. Japan’s Nikkei 225 moved higher, supported by strong demand for technology stocks and recent bullish momentum. However, most regional markets declined: Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index edged lower China’s Shanghai Composite Index slipped South Korea’s KOSPI and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 also posted losses Taiwan stood out as a key outperformer, with the TAIEX surging, driven by gains in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, highlighting continued strength in the semiconductor sector. Wall Street Pulls Back but Holds Near Record Highs In the US, markets paused after a strong rally that pushed major indices to record levels. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both declined modestly, while the Nasdaq Composite fell more sharply. The pullback reflects profit-taking rather than panic. Strong corporate earnings continue to support sentiment, with a large majority of companies exceeding expectations this season. Technology stocks remain a key pillar of resilience, particularly in semiconductors. Corporate Developments Add Market Complexity Individual stocks also contributed to market movements. Shares of Tesla declined despite strong earnings, as investors reacted to rising capital expenditures linked to artificial intelligence investments. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global both moved lower following developments around their merger. At the same time, Meta Platforms and Microsoft signalled restructuring efforts, including job cuts, as they continue to invest heavily in AI. Dollar Strengthens and Bond Yields Rise Beyond equities, the broader macro impact is becoming more visible. The US dollar is strengthening, supported by safe-haven demand and shifting rate expectations. Meanwhile, US 10-year Treasury yields are edging higher, reflecting renewed concerns around inflation. Precious metals, including gold and silver, have moved slightly lower, suggesting markets are not fully in risk-off mode despite geopolitical tensions. Outlook: Markets Await Direction from Geopolitics Despite rising risks, markets remain relatively resilient. Much of this stability comes from the belief that tensions will eventually ease and that disruptions will be temporary. For now, traders are watching three key factors closely: Developments in the Strait of Hormuz Progress in US-Iran diplomatic talks The direction of oil prices and inflation expectations If tensions escalate further, oil could move higher, increasing pressure on inflation and weighing on risk sentiment. On the other hand, signs of de-escalation could quickly support equities and ease energy markets. At this stage, markets remain highly sensitive to headlines, with sentiment capable of shifting rapidly. Always trade with strict risk management.

Fridays are tricky because market behavior changes and liquidity is uneven. I had many cases when trading on Gold with HFM where good setups failed late in the week. Now I mostly protect profits instead of pushing for extra trades

Fear is not always bad because it makes me check news and reduce my lot size. Greed is much more dangerous for me, because it makes a trader forget the plan and trade like casino

Sorry. Unfortunately I don't have this file anymore.

Date: 23rd April 2026. Iran Escalation in the Strait of Hormuz Drives Oil Surge and Risk-Off Markets The double blockade and the Middle East crisis have escalated in the past 12 hours as Iran attacks three ships. Earlier this week, the US seized ships bound for Iranian ports. Tehran now looks eager to match the US actions like for like. This is the first time in recent weeks that Iran has attacked commercial shipping, but the Iranian administration has gone a step further, seizing two ships and taking them to an Iranian port. Analysts and traders are viewing Iran’s decision as a clear escalation and a risk to any potential negotiations. Most political experts advise that the US will now look at an economic war against Iran as the conflict was unable to achieve its objectives. So far on Thursday, the developments are creating a ‘risk-off’ environment. Crude Oil - Iran Escalates In the Strait Of Hormuz The US is yet to comment and confirm whether the information from Iranian state TV is correct. Nonetheless, Iranian TV reported that Iranian authorities seized two cargo ships and took them to Iranian ports without harming their crews. It also reported that they fired on a third ship, without providing further details. The incidents are widely seen as retaliatory, following recent US seizures of Iranian vessels. They also point to a rapidly deteriorating security environment in one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes. HFM - Crude Oil 15-Minutes Chart Due to the developments, the price rose from $89.90 yesterday to a high of $99.55 early this morning. As the news was made public this morning, the price rose almost 5.00% over a period of 30 minutes. Technical analysis is now providing a bullish bias, with the price trading clearly above the 200-bar moving average on smaller timeframes. A concern for investors is that the US is now attempting to pressure Iran to the negotiation table by economic means. The US blockade is not allowing Iranian oil to be exported via Iranian ports, most importantly from Kharg Island. However, if oil does not flow through the pipes, experts advise the whole production and exporting mechanism can be permanently damaged. If Iran reaches this phase, it will be able to export the same level of oil for a prolonged period. This would further pressure oil supplies and keep Crude Oil prices elevated. According to experts, if the Strait remains closed past 15 May, the price can remain above $100 for many weeks. US Dollar - US Dollar Rises As Investors Take A ‘Risk-Off’ Sentiment The US Dollar increases and the stock market declines as a result of the developments in the Strait of Hormuz. The decline among stocks is less certain as the category is clearly in an upward trend and will be strongly influenced by quarterly earnings reports in the upcoming two weeks. However, the upward price action in the Dollar is more directly related to the developments without other external factors. The US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day followed by the Canadian Dollar. The Canadian Dollar tends to rise with higher oil prices. In addition to the above, Kevin Warsh told the Senate Banking Committee he made no promises to the Republican administration on rate cuts, aiming to show independence from the White House. However, Trump advised he would be disappointed if borrowing costs do not fall after the Fed leadership change. Key Takeaway Points: Iran seized two ships and attacked a third, escalating tensions after recent US moves to seize Iranian ships. Markets turned risk-off; crude oil surged nearly 5% intraday amid supply disruption fears. Strait of Hormuz instability threatens global oil flows, with prices potentially staying above $100. The US Dollar strengthened as investors sought safety; equities showed mixed reactions despite a broader upward trend. Always trade with strict risk management.

JP 225 forecast: the index hit a new all-time high and pulled back The JP 225 stock index continues to rise, slightly surpassing its all-time high. The JP 225 forecast for today is positive. JP 225 forecast: key takeaways Recent data: Japan’s trade balance for March came in at 667 billion JPY Market impact: the effect on the Japanese stock market is neutral Fundamental analysis Japan’s trade balance data appears moderately negative for the JP 225 index, as the actual figure came in well below the forecast: 667.0 billion versus the expected 1,106.0 billion. Although the trade balance remained positive, the shortfall versus expectations may be interpreted as a sign of weaker foreign trade momentum. For the JP 225 index, the impact may be mildly negative but not necessarily sharp. The trade surplus is still in place, meaning foreign trade remains in positive territory. However, a weaker-than-expected result can cap the index’s upside and encourage profit-taking after the recent advance, particularly in large exporters.
