{quote} I have deposited after a loss, the calculations will still reflect a negative result. It might be a much smaller percentage because your balance is bigger but you pretty much can't hide losses within the TE by depositing money.
Now I understand why Tfh could not rectify the problem with his TE

Hi..need some help from you guys.... Just wondering if there are other analysis sites like FXBlue and MyFxBook, but a not so detailed one? Just want to show the bare minimum: account balance/equity over time. Any other stuff is a bonus/not necessary. Thanks.
My fx book has some options on what to show on your main screen. Also, they have widgets that you can use with only basic info. Not sure if they have the exact setup you are looking for, but might be worth a second look.

I a huge computer/IT idiot, I will toy around with my fx book and see where it brings me, thanks. But of course, if you could point me in the correct path, there would be great...

For your time...

Up in the right hand corner there is a spot with your username, basically account settings. Select widgets in there and it will give you the options.
And the pic....let's just say I'd trade that pair aggressively lol.

Now that I'm looking at it, the options are kind of retarded. You can show your account balance but I don't see anywhere where you can choose percent gains etc...

Maybe. You'd have to have someone else go look at it to be sure....

This is the way all TE should look! The more you make, the bigger they get!
Trade what "Is", not what "If".

After I screwed it all up big time, during the last two weeks. I made more than 20 mistakes. This week I made 4 fatal ones, by the end of yesterday (big -9.1% of a DD). Gold's big up movement today saved my ass... Pure luck. I am one lucky guy. Must sit on my hands. All is well, until I touch it. Low IQ issues...

Finally am back in the black after a bad start of 10% drawdown on first day of VBE live trading

currently the account is 2% up for the month; which is fantastic. I am tempted to withdraw some to buy coffee; or shall I wait till end of month; you never know.

I find this dancing video quite similar to FX trading:
- The Girl: the market
- Dancing: trading
- Music: price action
- Dancer: you
- Dancing style: your strategy.

You better learn how to dance before approaching a beautiful lady (aka the market)

and enjoy dancing, i mean trading !

Yes. That is the real issue, usually... Trading is hard. Money management is even harder...

I am selling... and buying the gold now. Selling it mostly (70% maybe). I hope it drops with $10 bucks down there. I have survived Jan'18. 11 more months to go...

Hi MONEYZILLA,
Please can you enlighten me on the advantages of trading with cent instead of dollar?
Thanks

Hi MONEYZILLA, Please can you enlighten me on the advantages of trading with cent instead of dollar? Thanks
Sure, here are few:

1. Easier to trade, better than a demo (dukas trader quote). It is hard to find $500,000 USD to trade, while finding $5,000 USD ($500,000 USCents) to trade is not so hard.

2. Large room for mistakes and fixes. You just have plenty of room for mistakes. Scaled like 100 times... Imagine that!

3. Loss is small (so is the gain). When you screw it all up, you lose $5,000 USD, not $500,000 USD, BUT you get away with the experience of losing $500,000 USD, actually, without losing half a million, but only $5k! That I call very cheap lessons...

4. Greed is more easy to control (in a cent account). Making $20,000 USC per month makes me feel very happy, while making $200 on the real $5,000 account makes me feel miserable as hell! Why? Because in real life, one day I might be able to fund real $500,000 USD and make $20,000 USD per month... once I prove myself I can consistently doing it month after month after month (in the cent)... Kinda gives you a nice feeling you are good at trading, even if you are not able to trade $500,000 USD, you have plenty of time to figure out how to do it right within your own financial capabilities. The key is to learn to trade, you know?

5. EA friendly. Real accounts are EA UNFRIENDLY. You need lots of cash to trade with an EA. In cent, you need same lots of... cents. Cents are more affordable. The 100 scale down is a super condition for EA trading. It is hard to blow the account there as you can trade 0.0001 lots, which is impossible in real account. Same 0.01 lots in cent is 0.0001 lots in real. And there is no such thing as 0.0001 lots in real accounts now.

Maybe there are more advantages, but my IQ is just 75 and here the list ends here...

Please I heard the spread is more than dollar, it that true?
If it is true, how are you surviving with it ( the higher spread)?
THANKS
