My target is to make around 100% per year, which is about 8% monthly; with a max drawdown of 15%
I have been thinking about that for quite some time already.
Maybe I will polish it for another month?
Will think more during the weekend.
Highly likely I will jump on this plan.

It is very similar to your 1:2 monthly_profit2DD ratio.
I have similar ratio on the proven strategies.
Have jumped to 3:1, but I have not live traded these yet.

If I may give advice. Check long and short trem trend's on chart in use. Same direction will always give some profit.

There is no part of me that didn't immediately regret the trades themselves. I did them before going to sleep and woke up to a nasty situation. But every moment of it has been a reminder to stick to the rules and trade better.

Mate, I am in a similar situation like you.
At the moment.
And it mostly had happened when I was awake...

{quote} My problem is I do fine all month then try to get a little extra juice at the end while hoping for some end of month volatility. I stay up and grind for hours leading up to the last important moves and then when they finally happen I get no action and nod off as they slowly drift away from me. Then, when I wake up, I find out it's drifted well past my mental stop. Happened last month too; went from about 40% gains down to 10% mid-week and the last two days were dead just like this month. I usually lock down 10% within the first few days...
Lol excuses excuses. Anyway that t.e of yours look really nice atm. Keep up the good work

Guys i have a question, how could a trade explorer show a -50%return on friday before the market close and today at the market open the return drops to -29. There were positions opened during the week end, but the return should have been worse than -50, yet it shows -29.
what could an explanation ?
Thanks.

An explanation could be that he added funds in the account..nothing wrong with that. What's the problem? Over the years I realized the way you trade is a very very personal thing. I don't think you can compare one's way of trading with another (even with same system).

May 2018 ended with a positive return (+2%) not what I was hoping for, but at least we are on all time positive months.

My objective return is 100% per year (or 8% per month). This is purely due to risk management. I can aim higher; but then drawdown will be deeper, and recovery will be longer. My target drawdown is to remain below 15%. currently it is 10% max drawdown.

Had a good month with 46% positive. I have two more open trades with a possible extra 41% gain.
This month's gains are desperately needed after making costly mistakes in the last 2 months.

Out of drawdown again on 24th of May after nearly two months. Made 1.4% in May, total of 12.8% so far this year. Performance is a bit under the average based on previous years, but well above the minimum.

June is over; and with a positive return +7.3%.
Year to date return: 48.2%
Maximum drawdown: 10%

Looking good for my target of 100% for the year; 6 months is over; with nearly 50% return for the year.
