Another Trading Journal

Just want to trade my style with a little $100 Oanda account.

Let's see how far it could go or not.

Litte update after trading 3 days from 18 - 20 August:

One trade on Friday but Oanda cheated.

7 USD Loss

Without disconnects and huge slippage it would have been a winning trade and they refunded with 12 USD.

Since last year i haven't traded the Oanda account anymore.

So here is the latest statement from today:

Anyway, i've opened an small live account with an other broker that fit my style a bit better.
Funded $100 , VISA took 3% so the starting balance was $97.

That are the results after 14 trading days, aiming 2% - 4% per day.
Current 2011 September stat, slow but effective:

I don't know if i will continue, it does take time trading a small live account.

Hi Unnamedplayr

Do you still trade with your small account. I wonder how is the situation now.

When i have time i make some trades.
So that's the latest statement.

Balance is now $215

I have decided to withdraw the money and to transfer it to an other broker.
Too many problems in the past weeks, too much slippage, no fills and bad execution times.

So that's the end result of that account:

Hopefully the new broker will be better. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...endresult.png/

In the past 4 weeks i had a bit time to trade/"test" a new broker.

Last account ended $ 215.39
Withdraw fee,conversion und again funding fee (3%) took almost $ 35.00

Have converted all funds to EURO.
The new live account currency is now EURO. ($ 180.00) = 142.40 EUR

Couldn't trade much was in the hospital.

Here is just a quick update:

Account balance unchanged and since the beginning tripled.

Haven't much time to trade only FX so i've decided to close that account because of exploiting a specific error in different asset classes and especially within Tier markets.

Please understand that i can't post futher details or elaborate.

In the last months i opened an account with a new broker to test some "longer-term" trades strategies.
From the past account (EUR 234.95) i took out EUR 100.00 to start with.
So far so good:

Next week i'll have more time for scalping trades and to test "new" things. Let's see how that will play out. Just for fun.

Some experimetal things didn't work out lately as i thought. But anyway it was worth testing it with real money.

But i have discovered some new ideas to test in the near future.

Right now i'm testing some stuff with volume after studying the book "Jesse Livermore: World's Greatest Stock Trader" from Richard Smitten.

Even though volume dosn't really exist in the FX market i bought and held on to some JPY positions cause i assumed right there was accumulation going on in these pairs. After the BOJ press conference they shot up.

That's the update:

But have to test much more in these fields.

Had a bit time today for some E/J short trades.

That is one nice looking equity curve. And a record of 80-6?!

Very nice work.

Yes. But that account is now for experiments only. Hopefully i don't srew up.

Had today a bit time for a quick nice EUR/USD short trade.

Did some eur/usd short trades. Little update.

Very nice!

I'm more than impressed with your record...90%+ win rate across 100 trades...featuring 28 consecutive wins?!

Nice work. I can only hope to develop an edge such as this.

Thanks for posting.

In the evening i had a bit time for 2 trades in the euro. 1 long and 1 short trade for nearly 50 pips.
