One trader, one exposure sheet, several markets

Trading example

A mainland trader reviews A-shares by day and US shares at night. A shared technology event moves both portfolios. Two accounts did not diversify the catalyst, and the second session reduced sleep.

Try this in your journal

Create columns for market, product, currency, driver, exit rule, experience and local observation hours. Group shared drivers; write a protected rest window including daylight-saving changes.

Check your understanding

If one event hits all accounts, can you identify the combined exposure? Can every planned observation fit the calendar without double-booking attention?
