How much money I could make from investors?

Reality 3 - done!

It took an eternity to make the last <3% ... at one moment I had thoughts to let Future Simulator to call it done. Finally, after swimming around different pairs I managed to call it done with a profit in money of 0.xx$ ... It's profitable, then it's done.

Next - Reality 4!

It's interesting the start-up trading in this account. About a month before I started to trade in this account I spotted a swap arbitrage on different pairs! I couldn't believe what I was seeing... on this broker?!? ... finally I decided to act ... but it didn't took long and the swap arbitrage disappeared. Different trading strategies followed after, mostly automatic trading.

The TE is wrong! The all time % of 5.2% is wrong. I have to get back about 38% on the current equity, I might take some money out.
In money I have to make more than the sum of any two already done Reality X or a bit less than the sum of all Reality X. It's getting complicated.

I reached the budget in that account and went out ... going long would have been the easy way but somehow I make things more complicated that them are.
As for the budget it was like: I will be out it if reach x, x reached then I said a little bit more, and after a little bit another more ... the SL made the trick and I was out of it.

It might be that trading is not for me and not because my current trades are loosing.
With this thought I went further than one could imagine. The current test, Recovery X, is ... a trading test that just started.

I saw my life before it happened. I created a full universe in my mind for me to do this activity .. I created everything, I saw me trading, I saw me in a normal day to day life ... every single moment of a day, I felt it real with emotions. At the beginning I saw some advantages but later I started to see the ugly part, not related to the trading performance, and I think that this kind of activity it is not suitable for me now. It's not a final decision, I might adapt that life, live it longer, make it better, make it comfortable for me, the famous: time will tell, if d-day will happen it won't be the real start-up day.
A bit more. To 'trade for a living' is close to impossible as I have an expensive life.

Reality 4
Flip the coin and start to trade ... if it was only that!
I had no trading view since I started. Still, I made a good trade on usdcad. After I said that I will wait for the market to do some move, look on the charts for ideas ... take the time. No trades in the morning, took the time, I looked the chart, ... but still nothing ready to go outside. Flip the coin and start to trade ... if it was only that!
If it was a list of things to avoid or not to do while trading I think I am touching every singe point of it. Too bad that I know it but I don't do anything about it ... at least like that it looks like. Maybe I am in the disaster mode and I can't do anything about it.

Future Simulator:
- had some trades, all great trades, only one still open but the current dd = commission.
- maybe I should give it more volume power.
- I smell something fishy in the running version.

eurchf now @ 1.1575 should have been my first entry ... too bad!

take this paint to get my future view, a simplified version.

I am not a meteorologist but I saw the eurnzd hurricane coming, and I am glad I closed the trade before it came. I did it due to several reasons as: not much margin left in the account, almost midnight, eurnzd has a too high spread at that time, 30/40 pips, high volume on the trade ... the account was it danger not to make it. But it's Wednesday, why not waiting for the big payout x3 from the swap? That's the catch ... swap hunter? it might not work out as planned! So I closed the trade, even with a little profit but I would have closed it no matter what...



Future Simulator

It opened today 26 trades, 2 are still open. So far, on a 1:1 leverage the max dd a trade had was less than 0.5% .. but the majority of the trades are having a 0.0...1% dd.

The trade from eurjpy is scandalous! what was in it's mind to open such a trade?!? A few more protections are needed ...
I just looked at the worse expectancy or the opened trades and as far as I observed the eurjpy one reached at it's peak about 25% of the max expected dd and eurnzd about 12% .. but eurnzd is x2 riskier. I know, a lot of nonsense strings for the public.
(I think I spotted an issue on the way I make the worse expectancy, thanks to this note)



But most of the time Future Simulator is trading in great style, as the audusd trades.



This morning I was close to put more volume on the trades but I think is better to postpone it for a while.

Mission: Possible

Out from usdjpy trades, jumped on eurnzd. I wanted to jump sooner on eurnzd, like 50 pips sooner but I couldn't as the usdjpy trade was still open. Then I entered with a 1:15 leverage, too much for some other indicators I watch, a 1:12 should have been the max ...

Will eurnzd now @ 1.6867 fall in a blink of an eye to 1.6235?
I will think on it this week.

sold eurusd @ 1.1828 for 1.1742

let's see if it still listens to me.

I added the expected dd in the trade comment for a easier overview. Well, it's not so realistic as in most of the cases the trades are closed with a 0.0....01% dd.
It's realistic when the things go wrong and this is a very important thing. Making it more accurate it would be more beneficial to my scoring algorithm, but it's already a healthy friendship between them.

My neurons are having a brainstorming over this subject ... to set some levels inside those values, put some timings, x, y, z, ...
A smart one is saying why I am not looking for a trend? ... but it's a young talent, yet not learned what means to stay too much in the market, and yesterday was the 30y anniversary, ... not mine but the Black Monday one!

The eurjpy trade of Future Simulator just closed. In the last hour or so only a few pips were missing from being profitable. My expectancy was that the pair will go against the position in the last moment ... it happened so many times. In the end, what to say ... great job!

Now there are two opened eurnzd and eurcad ... I'll give a reward to Future Simulator if by morning all it's trades are closed: double the trade size.

Another 2x eurnzd just arrived while I am writing this post.

No reward for Future Simulator.
Out of eurusd.

Started to sell eurjpy @ 133.76

Future Simulator is currently having 3 trades open on eurnzd. and closed today 27 trades.

Not so much mood to close for small profit, I was looking to get more from an entry, but the mini drop arrived when I was already out.

Since a while I am thinking to short btcusd @ 64xx ... it's getting close, now @ 5928.

It's going there, now @ 1.7777 might take a brake.

MC soon on Rreality 4?
Not the first time!

Soon in the plane, weekend when I'll land.

Just to be clear, MC stands for Mission Completed, right?!

Still some time left before the plane. I could close the last 2 trades, eurnzd and usdchf ... loosing now less than I closed today ...

usdchf trade - what you see is what you get!

I saw Future Simulator entering on usdchf so I decided to follow. Future Simulator took what it saw, closed it's trades. But, meanwhile I had a dream on this trade so I decided to stay in until I suddenly I woke up. What is with this open trade in my account? ... I took it out.

eurnzd trade - bird in hand

Apparently, some news headlines pretended they know the reason of the kiwi rally, but were not sharing the same idea as I did, that the kiwi world started to play the 'swap hunter' game! really? weird! Still, the position was fine there but since it had a profit on it I closed it and I'll do a follow-up on it, if possible. I will enter again at a better price and if not there is a good situation in there too, the other open trades will recuperate some loss.

This trades had a bigger volume, not really comfortable to keep them open. By closing them I lowered the today's gain by 3x% but not much compare to the other days as today was a low day! The trade on eurchf is in the same situation but hopefully things will turn out profitable. Overall, closing all the current open trades, I am loosing some % ... but I don't need much of a retrace to get back profitable and call Reality 4 done.
I will do some changes next week ... more excitement is on the way!

The only reason why eurnzd spiked up at the opening is due to some guys that party too much over the weekend and at the opening they were not fully recovered. I couldn't let it pass unobserved, I had a great trade on it, 10% / 45 pips.

TE: Playground

A little bit unusual for my origin country, but I just bought a new game licence. It's called 'daily double and some more'. I already played several old versions of it ... I will start playing it again. The old versions were much more restrictive but in this one I will practically have the freedom to look to double the account, or maybe triple it, or maybe make those 100s % in seconds. I have a daily budget, next day I will start again if I feel like and if I loose it all. It's for those days when I feel like trading with the coin flipping method ...
In this game version there is no such challenge as going from X to Y in T time.

I started with selling Oil. After I mistakenly sold Silver and I will keep on going until I will have a new idea.

This account is probably my very first account since I started to trade. Sadly, the history on it is only 6y old ...
I think that this account has more margin calls than most traders have trades (or for sure winning trades)!
In the end it will be a Reality X.


Reality 4: very good start of the day! Last week I thought that maybe I should give more trading volume to Future Simulator and let it to end the job ... will see.

Should you be curious how I am going with the other accounts, all the TE are attached to my user profile. The thread can have only 2 TE attached.
Currently trading in Playground, Reality 4 and Mission: Possible

The brake, weekend brake is over, now it's around 1.1740 ... since a while, waiting for my guidance? Fine! ... sell it again @1.1738 for ... go go go!

--
Out of it @1.1735

All Future Simulator trades are closed. I increased the trade volume by 5x times on all the trades, no difference volume between them.

two months later and still there ...
huge lack of discipline ...
I shouldn't have placed a single trade on the Reality 4 but somehow I enlarged the Playground ...
