Well,
after having made > 10000% of profits some 5 times or so

- SAINT's Free Account Concept- $100 to $10,000- Attempt Journal http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=267197
& after making some 1000 to 10000% profits some >12 times, etc
& after improving my skills & understanding a lot more about market PA & my trading style's pros & cons (as far this type of trading is concerned)...
I think its time to increase the difficulty level for myself & not just try for 100 fold,
but 1000 times the starting equity, which means a target equity of 100,000% or $ 0.1 Million
This thread again would be based on "FREE ACCOUNT" Concept posted ->HERE<-
& would act as a journal for tracking attempts to convert $100 Wanna-be-Free-Account (WFA) to a $0.1 Million Successful Free Account (SFA).
BUT there would 3 more allied imp. techniques which would be employed along with the "Free account" concept. They would mainly kick in in late 2nd and 3rd stage though and i would prolly post about them then.
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ -------------
I am diving this into 3 Stages:
1) $100 to $1000
A difficult stage and chances of account becoming a BWFA are big.
2) $1000 to $10,000
Relatively easy stage and chances of account becoming a BWFA are less. More probability of BEFA and PFA & of course some for the target i.e. SFA
3) $10,000 to $100,000 (0.1 Mln)
Relatively difficult esp. emotionally as amount of money involved would increase & so would be the "Time costs" (time spent trading such acc. relative to the Profit milked at any point of time). Further there would be 2 other major issues in this stage. One would be liquidity & other is not worth mentioning, out here in open.
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ -------------
PURPOSE:
During the $100 to $10,000 Journal, i was not able to post about my Trading bias/analysis &Trade entries/edits/exits but in this attempt i would make sure i post about the same as the account grows esp. after being a PFA.
IMO that will somehow (a bit) add more filtration to my trade setups/bias
& i would be able to analyze/improve bit more about my strategy, trading style, & a couple of more things
& readers would get another thread to see/interact on some charts/analysis/etc
Also feel free to butt in, with your comments, if you have a plan/technique/view they can help me (in some way), to complete this target

Update 2 (13th Mar 2013/Attempt 1)
- Attempt started & Explorer linked
- As Starting equity is same for both >100 Fold Challenge thread< & this, attempts would be same for both. Though probability of this target would always be 10 times less than 100 Fold, theoritically (& may be 100 times less emotionally..
)
-Earlier EURUSD longs were playing out good but the spike lows messed some trades> In anyway LONG BIAS worked out nicely & Account is up nicely >750% (Float). Would have made lot more on GBPUSD longs rather (as i did in my conventional trading acc). Anyway
- Good nice PA and Volatility. Lets c how the week ends.
- Account Status = WFA; Starting Equity =$100
Update 3 (15th Mar 2013/Attempt 1)

- What a week again. Enjoyed most of it except that this attempt didn't work out
- Was carrying EURUSD longs, didn't play out early on. Added good amount of Longs @ good support LVL's based on PA. (Rumours galore as usual).
Was heavily scaling in for the move the same day itself which actually happened past the asian session next day.
- Was scalping the next day in the chop but spikes ruined the left over non-milked equity.
- Only gripe is the fact that expected at least $2k of milked equity out of this (as per plan/equity history). Missed that target
- Account Profits up by 958% (31$ NBP-entry wrongly shown as deposit)

I will be adding info in this first post as far as "UPDATES" are concerned
Well,
after having made > 10000% of profits some 5 times or so
with 3 of them, documented on Forexfactory itself with proofs
- 100 Fold Challenge -> Interested? TEST yourself http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=321529 (Twice)
- SAINT's Free Account Concept- $100 to $10,000- Attempt Journal http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=267197
& after making some 1000 to 10000% profits some >12 times, etc
& after improving my skills & understanding a lot more about market PA & my trading style's pros & cons (as far this type of trading is concerned)...
I think its time to increase the difficulty level for myself & not just try for 100 fold,
but 1000 times the starting equity, which means a target equity of 100,000% or $ 0.1 Million
This thread again would be based on "FREE ACCOUNT" Concept posted ->HERE<-
& would act as a journal for tracking attempts to convert $100 Wanna-be-Free-Account (WFA) to a $0.1 Million Successful Free Account (SFA).
BUT there would 3 more allied imp. techniques which would be employed along with the "Free account" concept. They would mainly kick in in late 2nd and 3rd stage though and i would prolly post about them then.
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ -------------
I am diving this into 3 Stages:
1) $100 to $1000
A difficult stage and chances of account becoming a BWFA are big.
2) $1000 to $10,000
Relatively easy stage and chances of account becoming a BWFA are less. More probability of BEFA and PFA & of course some for the target i.e. SFA
3) $10,000 to $100,000 (0.1 Mln)
Relatively difficult esp. emotionally as amount of money involved would increase & so would be the "Time costs" (time spent trading such acc. relative to the Profit milked at any point of time). Further there would be 2 other major issues in this stage. One would be liquidity & other is not worth mentioning, out here in open.
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ -------------
PURPOSE:
During the $100 to $10,000 Journal, i was not able to post about my Trading bias/analysis &Trade entries/edits/exits but in this attempt i would make sure i post about the same as the account grows esp. after being a PFA.
IMO that will somehow (a bit) add more filtration to my trade setups/bias
& i would be able to analyze/improve bit more about my strategy, trading style, & a couple of more things
& readers would get another thread to see/interact on some charts/analysis/etc
Also feel free to butt in, with your comments, if you have a plan/technique/view they can help me (in some way), to complete this target

- Preparing trading setup, mt4, required indi's, Ea's & other maintenance
- 1st Attempt pending start
Update 2 (13th Mar 2013/Attempt 1)
- Attempt started & Explorer linked
- As Starting equity is same for both >100 Fold Challenge thread< & this, attempts would be same for both. Though probability of this target would always be 10 times less than 100 Fold, theoritically (& may be 100 times less emotionally..

-Earlier EURUSD longs were playing out good but the spike lows messed some trades> In anyway LONG BIAS worked out nicely & Account is up nicely >750% (Float). Would have made lot more on GBPUSD longs rather (as i did in my conventional trading acc). Anyway
- Good nice PA and Volatility. Lets c how the week ends.
- Account Status = WFA; Starting Equity =$100
Update 3 (15th Mar 2013/Attempt 1)
- Most EURUSD longs finally paid off; Currently holding Net EU & GU Shorts

Update 5 (22nd Mar 2013/Attempt 1)
- What a week again. Enjoyed most of it except that this attempt didn't work out
- Was carrying EURUSD longs, didn't play out early on. Added good amount of Longs @ good support LVL's based on PA. (Rumours galore as usual).
Was heavily scaling in for the move the same day itself which actually happened past the asian session next day.
- Was scalping the next day in the chop but spikes ruined the left over non-milked equity.
- Only gripe is the fact that expected at least $2k of milked equity out of this (as per plan/equity history). Missed that target
- Account Profits up by 958% (31$ NBP-entry wrongly shown as deposit)
- Account Status = BPFA; Milked Equity = $1229.17; Total Attempt P/L(till date) = (+) $1229.17

- Expected the retrace down but only till 1.2820's which actually prolonged to 1.2790's, killing the longs & account. That became actually the Pre-ECB conf. bottom for fiber
- Account was up by ~1300% (Float) in between & withdrawal request of starting equity was issued (but the upmove was very short lived;withdrawal didn't get processed)
- Account Status = BWFA; Milked Equity = $0; Total Attempt P/L(till date) = (+) $1131
Update 8 (22nd April 2013/Attempt 3)
