So far so good, been able to get back to around breakeven from draw-down week. I'm learning a lot in the heat of the moment and confirming that my system is actually compatible with FTMO's parameters.

On a lighter note, started the verification a few days ago and undergoing a mean draw-down. One trade was 1 pip away from 3RR and pulled to breakeven, that hurts. I actually feel better with my trading now than the challenge process where I ...

Finally gone through the challenge and I must say it was a little humbling and educational. Definitely have to have a system that you trust before heading into managing a live account.

Everybody goes through a 4.7% daily loss, nothing to worry about. Congrats on the passing the challenge. No trades today, unfortunately.

Decent week altogether, decided to go back to my original plan of 0.5% per risk. This is what allows me to be psychologically removed from the trade. Right now I am positive and since there are unlimited tries as long as you are positive I can take ...

Roller-coaster ride most definitely. Increased risk to 1% as opposed to 0.5% which was my comfort zone. Didn't follow my plan today and missed a huge move which put me on tilt, could have been worse. This challenge has definitely exposed cracks in ...

Good Job and congrats!! I was down yesterday, didn't trade my system and gambled. Added to losing position, didn't wait for setup. Sometimes seeing all the quick finishes messes with your head to speed up. The psychology is tough no matter how easy ...

You are right, I am taking it very slow. 1 trade at Breakeven and the other for almost 2 to 1 RR. Hopefully I make it to the target within the allotted time, I was apprehensive about the challenge because my system is a very slow but steady system. ...

I recently started the challenge 3 days ago on the 14th and so far it is going okay. I think the most important thing is learning how to stay away from over trading. So far I have made 8 trades and feel as if that is too much and I have been lucky. ...

Buy position in this pair 2 days ago. Loving this trade / opportunity. Definitely a very long term trade

I had both sell positions on the Aud/Usd and Aud/Jpy from friday and it seems to have stalled in an ascending triangle....Although the weekly trend is bearish , it is due for a pull back/ correction. This pair is going to definitely move violently, ...

I usually just scan around the pairs and look for opportunities although I must admit Gbp/Jpy is my fav pair. Take a look at this Pair as opposed to USD/CAD.... doesnt matter if you a naked chart trader with the double top formation or the huge pin ...

That's a very sweet entry you got there...my kind of trade !!!

Another lost opportunity to add to long position...got home a little late. But opportunities may abound in the London session. If we can have a ranging session around 178.55 /15 the London traders might send this around the 178.00 /20 level for ...

Yep got in @ 175.95 and have been holding it since then. That was a huge opportunity to get a leg in this pair, I had missed the 2 moves in October, 2014 and made a mental note not to make the same mistake twice. With the double bottoms lately ...

Stopped out at break even i'm done for the day. Gl Pretty sure everyone sees the tight range at this moment...it wouldn't hurt to stay out until this breaks and look for an entry on a confirmed break. I don't know which direction as I don't see that ...

Nice response... so If we look at this just in a technical fashion excluding our biases and looking at this with fresh eyes...the Daily correlation between Gbp/yen and Gbp/Aud is not even close at all. It neither moves in opposite direction nor In ...

Interesting you brought that up ....Gbp/Jpy tough range to scalp, so I've stayed away in the meantime. Overall temporary bearish sentiment in the Gbp and perhaps a shift to winding down of dollar longs. Take a look at this classic double top in the ...

As expected during the US session for price to shake off weak buyers @ 185.40/50 zone and go an extra 60 pip run, likewise sellers. I am definitely leaning towards the buy side as we have been hitting the 186.11 ceiling often. I hope to see some ...

Seems we are all looking at that 186.11 level, it will be interesting to see what happens
