Hi, I want to introduce my idea about trading with a very small amount of money which can grow, let's say into 4 figures or even 5.
I hope this challenge won't be a disappointment.
Do not worry, everything that's in the video was done from the live stream So this is where we start with a good 100%.
Only thing I haven't done is recorded the last week process and this week. I'm really sorry but I can say you haven't missed anything out(Except -50% drawdown).

I will start to upload videos and live stream on Twitch. I want to make this process like a journey.
It's not like one of those challenges that people keep trying and suddenly they are gone. HELL NO TO THAT. I will announce everything that happened in there and keep posting here my p/l.

I'll hook my trading explorer here. Somehow Myfxbook is still crashing with its EA(It says the login details are wrong which is the opposite)
I'll try to fix myfxbook asap.

This video is an introduction. I know the quality is not the best. I did some major changes, so you can see everything in really good quality, not like that video. My microphone is really bad. So I might buy a better one in the near future. I didn't do any commentary because at the moment I think it's not necessary
unless the audience become bigger or either everyone will ask why did I take trades here and there. We will see. I want to put quality content at least with Forex because I've seen there is a lot of garbage out there. I wanna stand out with these challenges or share my young experience with the markets.

EDIT 1:I'm gonna transfer to another broker called "Robotmarkets".I've been using longer than Forex4you.(Both are great brokers). I took Robomarkets because I can use TE and MyFxBook(Setting up pretty soon ). Starting with 50eur (30eur+20 bonus I took. I know it is risky if I get whipped out.)

I'm just happy to finally show my TE at least in this Journal. To prove that I changed up slightly with growth and easier to track my trades and record's

Alright.
2018-09-13/14
Was one of the horrific time to almost get a margin call .
Sad I couldn't record how close I was with holding Sell orders while GBPJPY was bursting up before closing NY Session with H1 support. I thought I'm gonna lose this challenge but I was sure I had to close when they were positive or at least breakeven. Because After London players are leaving the London session the Big NY is always fishy with upcoming Sydney session and that horrible spread for one hour which almost gave a goddamn panic attack while getting flashing red and white.

At the start, I got a really sleepy mistake because I didn't spot EMA's crossing to downtrend while I took a long position. After having a bit of trouble in there I closed with -40%~ but I wasn't that angry because well sleepy mistakes are usually a good indicator for me that now I woke up . Then I started climbing out straight to 100% again. And then this happened 17:30 GMT +1. I took too many orders pieces and the GBPJPY was a bounce in and out. It was legit flatting between 150pips average. Then it took couple minutes to realize I'm gonna be stuck on this trade for at least 8 hours which not good because Scalping supposed to be maximum 2-3h. Well almost getting a margin call, I started getting downtrend in Asian session which it was supposed to be earlier but it still was going nonstop, tick chart was bursting for quick BUY and small hold. After the every spread madness within the 1 hour of Asian session everything calmed down and I was happy taking only 8% and back to 99% . That's about it. I couldn't trade Friday because of the plans for New Year (Personal planning). I'm gonna upload a video where I failed with Gold but I don't think I captured that terrible GBPJPY trade, Maybe little details of it(I don't know why I didn't try to capture the mistake, maybe ego was in my path to not show failure.)

****I'm gonna drop the video pretty soon****

About Myfxbook.com. I don't know but support is not responding to my problem. So it's a really big problem because there is a lot of skeptical people that won't take this serious which I understand

I'm changing some things up. I might start streaming on Youtube instead of Twitch.
Just because it is more relatable to stream on my own channel and grow with it instead of separating streams with different streaming services.
And it more optimized I guess because Twitch stream saved videos is a little bit too harsh to watch

Alright. I was pissed today because of how inactive London session was after New York came in all the trades were going to the other side.

Welp, Back to Square One!
Today:-10.73%
Sadly but we all have to learn someday. Got really greedy and opened too many orders and didn't set a personal stop loss.

Today's volume I would say especially on gold is very very slow.
GBPJPY was going sideways until it hit NY Session. Which I expected to move the markets.
What I didn't remind myself is that GBPJPY Reached Support line and I thought that it's okay to BUY which it wasn't because well It's kinda risky to at least think that Friday was Friday and the markets are changing its phase.

Here is the Screenshot I took a big loss

Didn't get any footage of this trading because I was doing other stuff while trading.
Got a little bit of a live stream I did where I took a couple of short trades but nothing much after that. Well I'm gonna upload before going to sleep

P.S I'm gonna share every moment, sometimes video's or Screenshots

Today only:
All time 34.43%

I felt pretty good with my trades. But this weak is a problem with volatility and volume. It is very hard to scalp on XAUUSD/Gold. I've missed my short opportunity on USDZARD, I had no phone. So I couldn't take the trade and left Gold on Buy side and it is not what I expected when I came back home seeing Gold just straight out flatting.

I hope tomorrow I can have better open opportunity's. Missed a lot of good action on GBPJPY, but oh well. Atleast my balance is growing back up

Alright. I've lost that balance. Pretty sad but that was my unaware mistake which is not good.
I completely forgot about USA's news with FED and their hikes. I got busy at the time and I forgot I was trading. WELL STUPID ME

But that doesn't mean we can't start over again. I've deposit 10$ again. This time I'm at 8% at the moment.
Sorry I can't upload because I'm very busy with New Year's party.

Well, mistakes are taken and learned from. I gotta be more aware of overtrading and bad entry positioning .

Made really good trades today. I was more aware of everything .
Sadly I couldn't hold GBPJPY. After closing Sell an order's the currency kept going down for more than 600+pips.
Well, all I care is that I took positive trades without big risk.

I hope tomorrow I can come back at 100 or even 200%. Let's see if volume and volatility can move the markets before holidays

That's it. I'm done trading for today. Now I can go to sleep without worrying about the results too much .
Just keeping my awareness skills in the right place and moment.

Let's see how we will perform tomorrow

Alright. I've been trading almost the whole day. Got pretty good trades
The problem was only with USDZAR. I knew it will bounce off the trendline that it is on H1(You can clearly see it's going down and up with trend up). But I couldn't hold far too long because I had access only to my phone, and closing orders on the mobile phone are painful(Especially when you have 20-30 orders ).

Well, I can say. I gained what I've lost in this challenge .So everything seems fine

(The history doesn't include last year's to my "Basket Trading profit margin calculator"

Hey guys . I'm back from holidays.

We are starting 2019 in a very good way. Woke up with 100-200% balance up.
I have no idea what's wrong with my profit margin calculator but is f**ked. (The problem occur due to new years changes in data)
As you can see I have swaps because I was holding for full 4 days and even when the markets weren't up.

The position that I took wasn't really smart tho. It touched the support line and bounce off. I lack awareness in the markets which sucks.
My goal for this month:
-Reach over 5000EUR Balance
-Train my awareness like it used to be
-Capture every move I make
-Work on my youtube (Trading highlights)
-Be more open with everyone
-No full emotions on profits(Yes having profits and having good emotions is fun but sometimes ruins with my other trades)
-Transfer after reaching 10000EUR to ECN account (This account is ECN-Cent)

This 2019 is giving me a big hope growing my balance up really quick. I'm impressed that I increased my awareness in the market's and didn't waste my time and kept waiting for the right moment to enter a trade.

I think we can reach even further. After reaching from 10$ to 100$ in no time. Then I'm gonna switch to real ECN to atleast show TE or MyFxBook.(It seems even myfxbook do not apply with Cent accounts, because it is easy to manipulate the results)

You're 100% right. If I'm gonna fail. I can do it again

But I'm gonna leave it until I hit 100$ and take 50% of its balance.

It's all about the process.

Sadly. But I've crashed. I married those Sell order's trades too much.
Well Before and After dental surgery, I was very irritated and couldn't close even with -20% balance drawdown and left out everything.

Not a good idea. Went full destructive mode yesterday. I could have saved my butt easily but the bad mood does the job itself.

I know how this pullback crashes works, but even when I knew it won't go down for 3-5 consecutive days just to get back from the crash.
I don't know maybe it's my tooth pain got into way maybe greediness or just goofy personality to not fucked up with a "Big" loss which was considered actually a very small one comparing to others trade I gain back from

My account is still not wiped. Good thing Europe has 20% balance stop out. I can grow it back and it's not even actually painful or left any mark

We are human beings. Sometimes We gotta take control of ourselves even when we are not in the state of mind.


One thing I'm gonna change is. I'm gonna withdraw every 100% or 200%. To build this account up and I've said that this challenge account gonna be my main because well I dedicated to.


Sadly, but the mistake was made. We all gotta learn and I got new trading rules added up which is making me more polished I guess . At least no bad feelings that I completely failed. This does not make me quit this challenge or feel like a loser.

Alright, let's get back to the challenge.
