How much money I could make from investors?

My winter holiday was supposed to be this week but I delayed it (why chf got stronger? ... I was not planning to go in Switzerland, nor in a warm place like last year - Mauritius) ... As I had no fly ticket for this week, I made my trip by car, many km but it goes quick ... the bad things was that I had to cut some hours from the Sunday evening.

I knew that Dow will fall his week! How? Because I didn't stopped to eat at McDonald's like last time ... I don't plan to stop today either (further drop?!?), the food texture was disappointing ... and the menus were so different compare the year's past, or maybe it had a Michelin star and I didn't noticed.

Therefore, my week sort of ends here ... not for my system, it will continue to trade, not yet decided over the next days setup ... like today or yesterday (but most of the diffs between the setups is that now it has better headphones to lower the movement noises). Not much activity today in terms of # number of trades but the feeling is that the market stopped running. It might change it's behavior in the next hours.

Short update: CAD news, 2 profitable trades ... it was supposed to be another 2 with EUR and GBP, but were dropped due to various reasons.

To avoid to look empty in such situations, I just got an idea of an indicator I might create/use (already exists?).
All the famous boxers, singers, tennis players, ..., revenue is indicated as $/time. Eg: Floyd Mayweather made 178k$/second fighting Conor McGregor.

The indicator will say $ made / time in open trade.

Full time trader for two days!

The market moved on Wednesday, just after I left on my ride. All was fine except the gbpnzd friend (restrictions were removed before I left).
I was driving when my system was playing with gbpnzd, sort of a Tom & Jerry (gbpnzd) when the cat beat the mouse. I avoided to use the phone while driving cause last time when I drove same trip I had an incident ... I didn't knew that in Germany is not allowed to HOLD the phone in the hand while driving, ... my wife didn't used the find my iPhone app to see where I am and asked me ... I texted to wife and the police stopped me. I paid an expensive warning, maybe they looked to make a BE with me and offered only warning, or they were just kind cause I was too, I am not a troublemaker. But I could watch the cartoon from time to time, tell the system to get some profit cause I have the remove command manager. Looking back on how gbpnzd moved, the system could have been manage it with a <10% (maybe <4%) dd. My intervention made things worse for the dd but brought more profit ... not really for being greed but because I want to learn to deal the bad events, get experience in this situations. What I did:
- took out profitable trades knowing that the system will open new ones when market move against. Made it several times, the system did it too.
- I didn't took loosing trades out while I was taking profit, and this was bad.
- Although I knew how the system will open new trades I didn't create gaps in the grid, and this was bad ... but I did it yesterday!
- I could end all 10 min before market close. At that time I was >6% profit, <-2% on open trades. I got some bad ideas, seeing more possible positive aspects than the negative ones ... one main aspect to consider is the spread at that time. The bad happened >7%dd, very upset on myself on the early moments but after I was happy to have experienced this event with a cheap cost (testing account).
- Yesterday morning my dd was around 4%, didn't closed trades ... tings got worse, much worse ... but I worked with the system, taking profit, making gaps, fixing some issues on algo, dd arrived at more than 25% but I didn't considered that I could take the loss (again testing account).
- I didn't babysit the move as I had other things to do ... happened that I looked (too early) when I had a 2% dd and took all out. I could have taken only winners out and keep on going but it was enough experience taken.

Now there is a trade on eurjpy with a bigger volume ... manual trade taken in a wrong account, I realized it after I opened the trade, no action on it close with win/loss cause had it both ... will see.
The system didn't see my manual trades, made it on purpose, this is why on gbpnzd adventure I didn't open any manual trades, I followed the plan.

As for the system that is currently trading ... fantastic so far! I had a few more trades <1min ... few seconds in fact! Few more tests and could set it in a bigger equity account.

I am not glued to the screen, I think that is a good attitude for a full time or non full time trader.
I got new ideas to add to my remote command system and also some alerts like ... if more than X (5?) trades open - beep beep beep, cause what is under I don't really need to know.

Quiet market for today, soon is expected to move on news ... I will not put restrictions as I want to get some trades even if too early entry.

Full time trader for two days! this should be the meaning: enjoy time (at home or ...) and make money, right?

I was away during the news, looked on mobile 10 min after the news and I saw some open trades, ... gbpusd and nzdusd were having several trades open ... looked later and the situation was better, profit was growing ... later later in less than 1h everything was ended. Today the system made 1.03%, longest adventure took about 46 min and the others less than 10 ... or better less than 5, see the graph for an accurate overview, I filtered today's trades only.

During the news another 8 pairs wanted to open trades but didn't qualified for the final go live.
Looking at the trades with surrounding option active it is obvious that I didn't had the best entry, most of the time too early. I was expecting this, I wanted to be like so and have the trades. I could have easily put some filters and get some perfect entries or no entries. It would have resulted in a very low profit, because as the more trades I have, on the same pair - good and bad ones, more profit I get. I have something in mind to go with, as set in parallel the system with a better accuracy and: more volume on the trade (get less pips but with a higher volume) or same volume and more profit (get more pips but with a lower volume). I like the more volume option but the other one looks safer in case of troubles.

Removed and added again the TE as it showed wrongly an open trade on gbpusd. I still have open the eurjpy trade I already mentioned.
One week of running publicly live and it is very promising!

I finally took out the eurjpy trade, I made something on it, 11.7%!

It looks to me that GBP want to have all the attention of today, ... so far the system made 0.4% on GBP pairs only. Also, there is a small difference on GBP pairs compare to the others, to get better entry (but also maybe less).

The % is related to the initial capital, no compound volume entry atm.

Just for info, I took again the eurjpy trade, at a price better than the initial one. I took the trade only in the right account, no more mistakes this time.

out of it, got enough .91 to .64 ... I might do a few loops if I will have the chance.

Looking at the DAX and DOW, maybe I should set my system to trade them too ... although DOW was easy to trade. I already said it will drop, today no McDonald's breakfast in the airport, because it was not present, cool! I don't feel guilty for the drop. Or maybe I am, as this weekend the orders from Disney Store (EU counts?) arrived and I will return some products ...
And the DAX? ... in October/November I started to think of buying the BMW X5 cause the 5 Series without xDrive is a summer car... but finally I won't change the car ... also, ... also, this morning I took my other car for the airport ride.

They say on CNN now: algorithmic trading, don't sell unless you need the money, etc ... I wonder where DOW will be in a month time.

Market started to move ... I'm around a 1% today, nice!

Nice start of the day, 5.7% (initial capital) or 4.24% (daily growth) ... interesting $ behind those %.

I setup last night a parallel system for better entries, not yet fully independent, will be tonight together with some optimizations I noticed that I could do. There were two trades detected but the EA was not enabled to trade. Fine.
Next thing: I will encourage more those trades that don't qualify for the go live, will give them a few more chances.

I have thoughts to lower the trade entry conditions, just to see how will look like ... maybe for a few pairs. Not for now. Looking forward to see the market moves during the NZD news.
On the manual trading I would like to short eurnzd from 1.74 or better 1.79...

I also have to dev some ideas into Future Simulator ...

I was waiting to pick-up my pizza, cause today is pizza day, looking in my facebook account, I mean switching between the accounts on mobile, open a trade on eurjpy and bang ... wrong account, again?!? ... profitable trade, I don't feel bad for taking the money, the only is that I don't want to open trades manually in here. Anyway, mistakes happen, same with my pizza, and is not a joke, I received something else than I ordered.
I could see many things from this event, like:
- this trade made more money than my system made all day

- I was missing the option of more pips with more volume

..., or maybe I see nothing else than a profitable trade.

Most of NZD trades did not qualify for the go live.
I had a busy day today, no system update, will do it next days, no rush ... the 1% dd alert I had didn't triggered to bring me in.

I did an update so that those trades that fail the 'go live' exam will be able to try again a few times. There is an way to go live without the final exam, not with bribery but more like making the option available and let the market decide (might be even better).

About a 2% before the NZD news and another 2% after the news ... happy! I was happy even when I was at 1% as not every day is a big % day.

There was an issue on my logs so I don't know precisely how many trades passed the 'go live' exam in a later attempt ... there were some.
The parallel system made some trades too but since it is not fully independent it caused some troubles to the eurnzd trades, helped the nzdusd trades ...

I was quite busy in the last days, didn't advanced much with the dev I had in mind.

I went thru the latest trades, <5%, and what was an initial impression is starts to be a real fact that my system is not only making money every time the market run but also that it can take much more money like from the first entries. I will have to do something in this direction.

It is so nice to watch the system in action, so nice to be profitable!

What a day!
Started slow until the market decided that is time to run ... and thought that my system will be intimidated if more pairs will move together. Good thinking, maybe, at one point I had 4 GBPX open (what I saw but could have been more) challenging my system ... there was a tiny window with maybe BE exit but said NO ... and keep on going ... GBPJPY was first to give up, then GBPCAD paid some nice compensations to have an exit ... or was a bonus?, doesn't matter ..., then GBPUSD said is enough and just now GBPAUD as it noticed that weekend is coming.

All the trades are closed! 21%, thank you GBP and of course, the other pairs that had a run!

I had to delete and add again the TE as one trade on GBPJPY was wrongly displayed as open.

I made a capital change and a system update to stay inline with it.
Is nice that the TE can have a custom start, set it as today.
Quiet day today.

My last week main thoughts topic was over the option of selling the system.
The first name/description that came to my mind was: Big Boy Problem! Because the day this system will be on the market, the world will start buying it and the big boys will have a real problem! Then I was thinking over the price, options, how to promote as I like to do some marketing too but a partnership with some sales people will be much more profitable. Where to find sales people? In my ghetto! Ghetto? I walked five streets in my neighborhood and most of the business is an underground one, hard to find a public (with TE) commercial ... so I got stuck for a while, then I got the brilliant idea: what about a partnership with the best scammer? Since that the guy managed to sell some print screens ... could you imagine what it would with a real profitable system? But then I got stuck again ... since there are so many revoked commercial users ... my problem will not be to find the best scammer because I can go with several but maybe the buyers don't look to buy a system that really works ... then selling a profitable system will be a real public humiliation!

This week I started with other things in mind:
- the enhancement of my Remote Manager System.
- better logs so that I could create a better profile for each pair.
- set some other parallel systems to trade with different setups ... today, the market moved but didn't run according to my setup, a setup that I kept without much changes since I started, ... but it would have run for other setup.

I think that there is no surprise for someone that the market is going to move on news, and today main news were on NZD and USD.
I got a little bit from the NZD trades, <0.1%, little bit because I had good entries and the job was done fast.
From the USD news I got much more, current day is at 2.7%. I could have strengthen the entry conditions and have perfect entries or apply a small filter for the pair that is expected to move more so that I could have a better entry ... I didn't do it this time, same setup like other days. Don't get me wrong, I love the <1min trades!

Today's 2.7% looks so so so low compare to the last Friday's 21% ... YES, if looking at the %, BUT in $ I made more today than last Friday! And it could have been doubled if I wouldn't have cut in half my entry size last night. With the size I use now is harder for me to make an instant assessment of a situation as I have to do some math, nice exercise, but I find it safer for my capital ... and since I will be using different setups, I should get used to do this instant assessments based on the entry size. Of course, I can easily avoid this exercises and look only from time to time in the account but currently I enjoy watching my system in action.

Tonight I wanted to watch a movie so maybe I will fall asleep ... couldn't decide upon one.
What my system did during the AUD news was like watching a very nice comedy movie! or maybe the trailer as it was a very short one ...
