How much money I could make from investors?

Too much to write in one post so I will make a split.

Playground

Around 5xx% was the max I arrive and after I start loosing. No mm involved, loosing money is not fun, even if it is free money it is still my money ... I will do better other time ... and it will be another time! Free money? In the day I started the Playground I also made a trade in the account where I made the deposit for the Playground (from where to transfer the daily licence for the game). That trade was so profitable that covered the 1st transfer and extras, this is why there are two deposit in this account on the 1st day.

Anyway, enough bla bla, now I go to what I think is important to note.

Damn you EURCHF! Somehow it found my Playground area and decided to rent it for more than a day ... not a real problem with that, but when it left it let a lot of mess behind! And after that the other visitors had almost the same behavior. .. but what to expect after all that first mess?! Will clean the place!

Leverage 1:100. Trade mostly all in. New money available? keep on adding! Go out with the profit! Repeat! It worked nicely up to a 5xx% ... yes, bcs I had great trades! but not the eurchf one.

What did I do wrong?
The position was fine where it was but the way I build that position was totally wrong, not efficient for an 'all in' approach.
Let's say there is 1 lot available for one price entry, no grid or other things, one single entry. My trade was wrong because I placed all the volume, 1 lot, in a single trade instead of 10 of 0.1 or 100 of 0.01. When the margin call arrived, it closed the trade, I wasn't there, no follow-up on it. It's true, it let 50% of capital available but this is not really good. If I would have had 100 trades of 0.01 then only some of them would have been closed and the remaining ones would have turned in profit. In worse case scenario it would have lost all ... but this is an all in after all.
I use the web platform, not so pleasant to do it as described ... This morning I looked at the position to see how I made it, one or two trades... Believe it or not, I saw the future before it happened, as it happened later in the day.

Playground or responsible trading?
Looking at the account capital most traders will definitely say it NO! Really? why my <10k$ capital is considered a gambling account?
Let's say responsible trading account is at 10k+ ... how do you trade? when you close your trades? 2% dd? 5% dd? 10 20 ... this is to say when you are at 200$/... loss you close the trade? ... it's like the all in approach I just described above, no? so, who's the gambler? ... what? still my account because is not painting 10$k+?
How do you do the stop out? EA? SL? Manual? ... is it the most efficient one? ... those crazy spikes or swans or ...
Wouldn't be better to have an account with 200$ and in worse case scenario, loose all, is the best case scenario? ... of course, choose a broker with a negative balance protection!!! sadly, mine aren't ...

Not really affected or hit somehow by this views, it's more to cut some big accounts wings, and make tiny accounts not a gambling one. Of course, it depends on the trades, history consolidates the style.

Where I was? aaa, the picture ... and since I'm commercial, 100$ for the real signature on the paining. That's right, you want the pain to be signed? print it out, send it to me, pm for the address, I will sign it for a fee. A little more $ for a personalized solution where I do it all ...

Reality 4 ... the nightmare and the real truth of what I did to fix it.

I'm done! I'm done! not calling done the Reality 4, but with trading. That was most of the week. Not much mood, not too good things happened, not much mood, it's a loop...

Things were going well with Reality 4 up to a point where I was missing 30/40% maybe ... an immediate achievement as I started to get good profits on a daily basis, and also due to the trade volume increase 10x/20x more ... also, I wasn't trading minimum possible volume.
Monday, nice week start with the take from eurnzd, a few other trades ... call Reality 4 done was about to be announced.
Tuesday early morning - nightmare start-up. Eurnzd spiked up, from 1.6833 to 1.69/1.70 .. I had some trades opened from 1.6740 but not high volume. What I do? I start to short many times with 10x/20x times more volume and score profit. The old trades were still open, I had the short view on eurnzd. I noticed from early times that my trading style was a 'killing me softly' approach - in short: market is in a trend, old trades are kept, nice new profit is scored but bad overall, keep on going the same approach, the new trades can't keep up with the losses ...
I also had eurchf on my shoulders with the same kind of trades ... There were more pairs at the beginning but as things stared to worsen I limited myself to this two.

Tuesday midday when eurnzd was around 1.70 I started to have 1.73 nightmares ... not far from being real!
To add to the nightmare, I was trading in another account too, with a bigger capital, not really copy trades but almost the same, all placed manual, different volumes.

Next:
- I started to stop aligning the trades, then one had more eurnzd, the other more eurchf.
- Deleted the very old trades but I was trading big volume now.
- I started to deposit more, and even more.
- Babysitting the margin, transfer from one account to other.

Great broker: instant deposit credit, instant account to account transfer! I was seconds from disaster, really! seconds were missing ... I had past experiences with brokers where such actions takes hours ... better don't take this actions into account while trading. I also had good precise actions!

What if eurchf/eurnzd would have had a different path today? ... few more words and I will say the real truth of what I did to fix it!

What I was doing after all? I was trying to make x$ by involving 5/10 times more x$ ... extremely wrong! It started to look like I want to challenge the losses of a dude from here...

Wouldn't be better to stop doing this kind of crazy things and trade more safer?
OK! I already started to do it:
- I had for today a close all trades EA condition if the profit reach a certain level! Hehe, what would you have expected?
OK! I will consider to adopt too the close all trades if % loss ... not sure what is the % as so far my % is the broker margin call - bad!

Wouldn't be better to stop doing this kind of crazy things and trade more safer?
OK!

The real truth of what I did to fix this unpleasant situation!
EUR was kicking the NZD, CHF, ...
Yesterday I went to the market, bought a pack of Kiwi and a Milka chocolate! That's right, I started to support their economy by buying their products. The effect didn't waited to be visible, today EUR started to loose hard ... You make try the same things, maybe it works for you too ... for me it worked this time!

The current situation
I didn't wait for the EA to close my trades at the established profit as I wanted to avoid the unhappy scenario of going from ecstasy to agony. Reality 4 is loosing something now, it could have been done by now, but it's more than fine overall!

Could one imagine what black swan would have been today if I would have bought more Kiwi and Milka chocolate yesterday?

EURNZD with all the EUR family: it wasn't me! I still have some Kiwi and Milka left from the other day ... or maybe my post was too inspirational for others...

My mind is mostly away from trading while I am in weekend. But, this weekend is one of the very few ones when I am not at home. What to do? What to do? I was thinking to give my full attention to Future Simulator, ... very enthusiastic at the beginning but very little mood now when the time has come.

Reality 4

Back on track from where I start.

Unusual for me but all the trades are closed. I know, there is still one open trade on gbpjpy but this one is a betting trade, more to see what would have happened if I would have kept the trade open. One thing I already know, the 7 pip spread that the pair is having now would have incorporated 25% of 4 figure profit day because it was a high volume trade!

What? 4 figure profit day?
Yes! Highly profitable day for me, overall I am touching a 4 figure clean profit today (14 trades in total, 2 are in other account). Not so much trading activity as I already mentioned the number of trades, in the evening I moved some money from other account in here and trade more volume ... got tired to switch between accounts on the mobile phone ... in the latest weeks I am experiencing a visible slow connectivity time on the mobile phone, no matter what internet connection I use.

How many decimals are in that 4 figure profit?
None dear, none! It's a 4 figure profit with no decimals taken into consideration.

A bit annoyed by the usdcad with it's move after I was out ... Very happy with the trades from gbpjpy where I was in and out in high accuracy! No implementation of a master close all trades on a % dd but I was under a 15% dd ... where to mention again the high volume trades. How high? Today I trade 22.21 lots in 14 trades.

I always believe that making right investment is the first step towards success and IF we are not making the right investment then we will only struggle. I am very careful with how I operate. I find it a lot easier with FreshForex, who offer me 101% Tradable Deposit Bonus ; I love it and help me with trading.

Not for me, as they say: "Services described on our website are not available in Iraq, Japan, North Korea, European Union, the UK and the USA."

A new version of Future Simulator is ready to trade. It will take tiny tiny profits because I am looking to see how many trades will fail to go on the profit path right from the start.

--
ahh, ... nzdusd trade wasn't supposed to happen at this time, and since it happened it was not closed while it was profitable ...

Not much mood to make a trade, not much mood to take the profit when was shining ... Future Simulator had perfect trades except one on usdjpy that reached maybe a 40pips dd .. I closed it with small loss. Overall, a good profitable start of the week ...

The same 'ahh' ... initially I excluded my trades from Future Simulator view but somehow I omitted the condition when I moved to a different server ... what to say, it closed my trades with small profit ... fine!

Now I am looking to make a 'all in one' 'creme de la creme' version of Future Simulator for Darwinex ... and I just got a second thought, for MQL5 too.

Trade with me and you will see how successful you will be!

That's right, the investors chasing prostitution is back!
Paid signal on mql5 platform: Reality

The initial thought was to have this account for the Darwinia founding competition but since it's a new account and I will have to wait several weeks until I will have a Darwin, etc etc ... why not having a signal too?

Start-up:
- 1k capital
- 0.10 lot / trade
- no %dd closing trades
- looking to take 6-7 pips from a trade that will preferably last more than 10 minutes.
- I expect a few trades / day

After the 1st trade:
- everything could happen

Quite nice events this week, we'll see how it goes.

The signal name say it all, should it start to loose, it will go to my Reality X challenge.

I am impresses, it did not failed right from the start, 1st trade - done, ridiculous dd of 0.37%, 0.41% profit ... I hear voices but I still enjoy the 1st trade!

Subscribe now on Reality for only 30$/mo!

It reached 64xx ... should I do it? How much profit I would make from this short?

sell 1 coin, price arrive to 1$ -> 6k+ profit. Yeee! but this is the max I can get.
buy 1 coin, price arrive to 13k -> 6k+ profit. Yeee! what? it just jumped to 26k ... this means 20k profit? Yeee! ... what? it's now 100k for a coin? ... fast fast fast, where is the close trade button? ... damn it... it just drop to 40k ... fain, I can live with that.

Buying could give much more gain than selling. Still, I might sell it because I have a plan behind, and it's not like the kiwi shopping for this time.

I was saying that in July, and yet now something is running - Reality X. Still not yet implemented that way out system but I think I will give a try for something I think it might fit. Up to the end of next week I will be busy with some life events ...

You will not miss me if you'll subscribe to me, not this thread but the signal: Reality

What a mess ... it started with eurusd that saw my account as a parking and stayed in most of the day, then eurchf started to play football, trade both ways, ... where to say that euraud was so brave that broke the rules and open a trade with double volume but double profit too ... should I mind now? ... quite surprise that the dd reached only 6% ... when the cat's away the mice will play ... it got started when I left for airport, ... it's fine, they will pay for all the mess!

Still don't want to trade with me? hehe ...

Partially back, I will have more time from next week.

Reality 4 - done!

It was done since last week but I kept it going, very profitable trading, about 8x times more than the amount I had to recover ...
Future Simulator has still some trades open in this account and I think I will migrate them to the next account I have to recover.

Next - Reality 5!

This is a standard account (non ecn). I will set Future Simulator to trade in here and migrate the open trades from Reality 4 during the day when the spread is minimal.
Migrate trades = close trades from an account and open them in other one.

In money I have to recover less than 3x Reality 4 but more than Reality 1 + 2 + 3 + 4.
The profit from Reality 4 cover by far the Reality 5 loss.

The signal: Reality
8 trading days, 48% growth, 28% clean profit, 20% dd, 24% max dd, 0 subscribers

At the current price of 30$/month the subscription price is recovered from the first day!

Reality 4 - finally done!
Closed the remaining trades without a migration to Reality 5 account as the loss was quite small.

Reality 5
About 40% of the loss already recovered. Closed too soon the GBPJPY trades ... it would have been done by now, anyway, it's fine when the bird is in hand!

The signal: Reality
14 days, 51% growth, 35% clean profit, 0 subscribers.
I need 31 days history to create the darwin ...

Still 30$/mo subscription.

Price update on the Reality signal, it's now 50$/month.

The signal Reality is experiencing a dangerous dd where 25% of it is mine.
Scalping is exciting but not friendly with caring the losing trades.
The biggest and easiest profit I made so far was when I was trading the trend.

Recovery 5 got some losses that put my feet on the ground ... I'm having mostly the same issue that is looping.

I just realized that I passed a month of Recovery X ... Hmm! I was wrongly naming this test as Reality X instead of Recovery X except to one note ...

I kept on going with my imaginary universe ... I should focus mainly on automatic trading for scalping and maybe manual trading for the trends.
I am somehow avoiding implementing the way out system for Future Simulator loosing trades ... maybe is because I like to believe that it will work and don't want to see the reality.

that 40% DD is high.
THAT IS the Reality!

you seem to get some good ideas, but probably greed driving your action mostly....and you tend to take too large positions or too many pairs (or both?)...and find yourself often in a hole, some as deep as this 40% now.

if things recover to +50%, it is all good, sort of.
The Reality is, that it is very hard to go forward with those numbers.
I tend to believe the worst drawdown is still ahead in trading ( except if you already blown up your current account, then you just right there!), and thus it is very important to trade small.
probably if you would have a little more equity oh the account, then such drawdown would hurt enough to want avoiding it.
or maybe it isnt the case, and perhaps the gambling urge to see high double or triple digit monthly gains are just more important than a safer, slower path to gains.
hard to decide if you making progress, or it is more of a sideways equity chart between your accounts...would think the second.

The Reality is what it is! ... I could go to a high equity on the account, 10x times more equity and trading the same volume will show the 10x less growth but dd too, a 4% which is less than a master close of a famous trader from here! Guess who? ... so, loosing it all will not be that bad if finances allow this and future trading is much more profitable. At this moment, zero profit ... bad! (It was supposed to be a higher equity but only possible via wire transfer ...).

Recovery X and manual trading has a bit of fiasco from everything. I simply trade, and trade, it's like an workaholic addiction ... I don't look to see a certain profit number and then stop ... I am looking to set some goals and stick to them ... hard!

My feeling over the manual trading is that I haven't made too much progresses in terms of consistency, keeping some rules, etc ...
Recovery 4 myfxbook link to show some numbers when I called it done. 5808.36 euro profit. The Deposits / Withdrawals values are not important, can be as one wants (transfers between account for different purposes).
It doesn't matter if I move money between accounts and loose them somewhere else, when all the accounts will be positive in terms of profit this profit is not touched (no more trades in this account).

I still have other accounts to recover, some too scary to look at ... the progress will be established if I will be done with Recovery X (I think it is X and not XX ... now at Recovery 5, mmm X or XX, time will tell).
