Hello Everyone,

this will be an experiment. My goal is to make $10k, starting from $100.

No particular system, just price action trading using H4 and daily charts (candlestick patterns, S/R levels, pivots, trends). Only one trade open at a time, the risk is 10%/trade to get a reward somewhere between 10-20% per trade. If I loose my $100 (10 consecutive losses at worst), next month another $100 journey will begin...:-)

I will share my trades here. No time limit, no need to hurry...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Weekly updates with numbers:

Started on 24.04.2013, starting balance: $100
Weekend on 26.04.2013, balance: $134
Weekend on 03.05.2013, balance: $30 (I think I will go all-in, and rethink my methods...:-))

Yes, Good Luck!

You could activate Trade Explorer so it can then be transparent..... so much easier than spending time speaking with hind-sight.
