Disliked{quote} I deposited 300 GBP, but was down to 150 GBP at the start of December with all closed trades (used 3-4 different strategies at that time). After that I picked one strategy which was most profitable. Since that I transferred my 300 GBP back and have more than 800 GBP as a profit. I reviewed my entry points - less entries but much better.

Disliked{quote} By September 2017 I only expect to be up between 25-50%. That being said, I won't risk anymore than 5% of the account at any point in time.
