How much money I could make from investors?

I was queuing at the gate, almost the last in line, then something happened, the gate changed, I went to the new gate, now I am in front of the line. Something always could put one from the last to the top and reverse. After that, in a different place, but me is still me.

I had a trading dream last weekend, maybe most unique of this kind, a dream in a dream that had one extra sequence, or more... main subject was that I was trading and my account was loosing all ... trading - loosing - wake up, several times in a loop, ... when finally woke up, I no longer knew in what universe I am ... I am fine where I am, I don't need all my dreams to come true.

A year ago I offed myself 1k account to play with, as a Children's Day gift.
Today is Children's Day again but no more trading account to play with, the kid from me grew up.

Some of the bad side effects disappeared, but I got others, the worstest is blurred vision.
I also noticed that the started to skip steps in the habits sequence, like in the morning routine ... then I realize the skipped step, I think that my brain is adapting and thinks that some steps were useless ... hmm. I don't like it.
To trading I see myself less motivated to take trades but also mark profits, less agility, less scalping attitude.
I don't like to go in a legume mode, I like to have spike sprints in mood.
I like to be tired, I feel that I have a better performance when I am very tired. Sometime I to go sleep only not to make the clock alarm feel useless. In the weekend things are different.
Therefore, I am done with the diet! In the morning will get back to the version of me that I was before starting the diet. And since my main ideea is to make the best of me I will improve that version. Also, I am not so carb addicted, bread is hardly present in my diet ... sweets yes! fruits yes! ... yes, pizza!
Anyway, the diet it was not intended to stay forever, end of August is main holiday, all inclusive hotel!

When is coming to fly related incidents I think I am checking almost all the scenarios: delayed, canceled with no go, re-booking or rent car to reach the destination, lost fly because I forgot to board but I was in the airport, lost fly because of a big queue at the control gate, lost fly because of ambuteiaj on the highway, landed on a different airport and continue via train, lost connected fly, ... and now, flight canceled and continue with the bus! ... ahhh! is not far, 8h! hmmm
There are still a few scenarios left like survive a plane crash, but there is time.

Today a colleague of mine told me: are you going to the airport? they canceled the flight! haha! ... what should I say now? just another thing that plays with my mind, like those trading times when few pips were missing for a stop out to enter in action, or ...

There is a good part in this incident: I just ate a cheesecake and juicy water, they will pay for it! plus I should get a fly delay compensation ... no more keto diet = I should get another cheesecake?

It could be a good income if one want to try: book very cheap flights and wish for flight delay/cancelled so that you get the compensation. If the flight is not cancelled, you don't need to board, just go back home.

It's been a while, ...
The lyrics of a song were like: all want to make money and be famous, we want to make money and be unknown/disappear. It match my view around this thread start-up time but then the investors chasing prostitution ideas started ... landed in this place. The perfect place as many from this area disappear after a while ... they must be making money!
No more accounts show-up except what is linked to the thread subject, therefore:
- fixi/axi - out!
- darwinex - ongoing! No money from investors or darwinia competition so far but I am happy with the trading. So far I made 20K profit in this account. I looked for this number having in mind that since from August the ESMA regulation will be applied, I will need more capital to keep on trading in here as before. As for trading, due to the trading conditions I have, I felt it hard to trade and make that profit number! Darwinia competition is not about who's making more money ... good trades, good % matters, therefore I decided to keep in the account 5k and I will look to trade strictly for the darwinia competition, and investors. I don't know if I will be able to do it ... sometime I am thinking to set automated trading ... I will see from August.

I am thinking to start trading back with Alpari in a PAMM, will see, ...

I hard about some revolts in this neighborhood, I had to come back home ...

Friday I was thinking to set a few live accounts, 1/3/5k, put some EA's to trade and if it passes a probation period, give it to the public for a fee. Then, I changed my mind because I saw this activity too much time consuming. Maybe I will finally, projects are and plenty of new ideas.

Last week I was reading that the signal services are losing ground massively, ...

So, what should I do while I am back?
Darwinex : TDT - Lost interest since it went under esma regulation. Finally I set to trade a small 1k account, currently most of the margin is already taken by the open trades.

Today I started a new signal: The Dream Team

Should be enough to make some noise.

Apart from that, I had several holidays, batman and his manual trading experienced all a human can have, still need to be busy with something while traveling.

How much money I could make from investors?: 88$ so far.

With the current 9% profit even a 10x times smaller account would have covered the subscription fee. What you're waiting for?

The latest trades were quite small, not really what I had in mind. This is mostly because I sort of downgrade the confidence in the trade direction, entered sooner than what I initial had in mind. Seeing the market moving in my direction, even if I got out, gives confidence, a better feeling than a lucky exit just before a possible disaster.

Anyway, the money is with me and hopefully the next trades will be better trades!

Since many say that the majority of the signals have an impressive start and when starts to be interesting simply get destroyed, I'm still wondering why investors don't subscribe right from the start?
Few more trades and with 17% profit made so far I think I start to fit in the suspicious signals category.

This is what I had in mind, not all to happen once, gbpjpy is now @ 148.38, ... already took something from it.

Too much noise I guess, the signal is out.

One of them was for a neighbor that made a smart move to protect the account drawdown, increased the account capital. Too bad for the signal followers, most of them experienced total loss.
At that time I said to myself that I will not do such a move, mainly because it will not be necessary, I will also look have a low dd%.
Everything went fine in the first day, dd was <10%. Even if trading with 1lot / trade it can be manageable to keep a low dd.
Around evening I was more than 1k profit, and then something happened. I took a sell in gbpjpy, just when I was about to go outside ... the level was so so, what can go wrong? Then it went in a dd, I took a few retrace on it AND when it was around 120eur loss the disaster started. I didn't closed the trade even if I was convinced that it will not turn in profit. By that time, all the trades were winning trades, no loss, but I was not looking to have only winning trades. The scenario that I imagined was that it will go again against me a little more before becoming profitable. I also took a second trade that started to loose too, ... around the US close I was about 450e loss. More loss in the morning, then retrace but not enough. I close one trade with a small loss when was the case, just to make sure that I am not in a self sabotaging scenario, looking to have only winning trades.
Then I took a few more trades, more loss, dd was under 20% ... then I got busy with other things ... the dd under 30% ...
What to do?
Stop the signal, start new one, ... too classical.
A brilliant idea arise!
I will double the account - make 100% profit, then I put half in a new account, master account, where I will trade - keep a <10% dd, and this account will copy the new one with a 2/3x risk. By doing that I will gain trust in those that are thinking to copy but are skeptical about the dd% ... Nice no?
Yes, it was nice, and my mind went into that idea, the dd went bigger ...
Yesterday around evening I was with about 10 trades of 1 lot open ... loosing, the market didn't make a move to indicare a retrace ... the margin was low, under 1k ... US session was about to close, ... I doubled the capital. US close and bang, gbp_x ... spiked on closure about 50/80 pips ... without the extra deposit I would have been in a negative balance, the new margin was again very low. What to do? not so many new choices. The spike was an indication for a final rally so I let the things as is. Today retrace, good one, lowered the exposure ... finally, I went out from that setup. Now I have a few open trades, good profit, I am thinking to stop trading in this account.

What is next?

Many times I see myself in a loop. Trading related:
- a year ago, around summer time, I was posting some trades.
- most of the new project ideas to go into start around this time.
- it's about 10y since I am in touch with trading, even if for some years trading was minimalist.

At this moment I can't assess my manual trading ... am I really trading or is pure luck? ... when I stay focus, I have great performance, or maybe is luck too.
Therefore, I said to myself that I have to learn to trade. Not a new idea, I had it a year ago too!

Still no teacher, still no real clues on what to learn, only few indications, the mindset is fine - I think.
So far I can mix a few trading styles but I have the feeling that is not enough, there should be something else.

The alternative is to stop/limit manual trading and go back to automated trading, currently stopped but should restart pretty soon. It was profitable in the past, but manual trading can be scandalously profitable!
I don't have much hopes over finding the teacher, I will do a self learning of I don't know what. I am also thinking to be more specific, post some charts and trading ideas, not too much as I don't intend to candidate for a position in this neighborhood ... like the new arrival one that had a fantastic election campaign by putting his flyers all over the FF.com and now gaining a place in here ... (or? I couldn't read his proposal)

Currently I have the Darwinex account - TDT. As previously said, the account is under esma regulation, 1k capital, meaning that I could have around 20-30 trades of 0.01 lot available. Somehow I find this account a good place to trade due to it's restrictions. Therefore, I think I will do the manual trading in here or I will let batman do it, ... mainly this is next.

missed the sell on gbpnzd from 2.0340, I set a pending @ 2.0368 just in case ...

nice gbp_x drop
gbpnzd now @ 2.0268 could have an aggressive retrace to scare some ... I am busy with other things, therefore mostly on the sideline.

I added a few trades while I left for lunch, now looking at usdchf, is it gonna move in this channel? will see ...

I closed all the trades, I am fine with the 3.4k profit.
I took the initial deposit out, still thinking whether to continue to trade in this account or do it privately. Darwinex account could be enough for the public.
An obscure thought say to double the Darwinex account every month, even if it is under esma, it should be possible, will see ...

Just took a sell on usdchf at 0.9914 with the size of 0.3 lot instead of 0.03 ... wanted to use all the available margin up to 0.9935. Or maybe is will not be too bad, this time.
And a sell on gbpchf on the other account, ... like that the disaster usually starts.

Last week ended good except for the sell on euraud that was opened too early ... then, it triggered a new series of trades, good activity while being in the airport.
I should be trading less this week ...

One issue I am currently trying to fix is to take the trade to the future place I plan to take the trade. A good eg is on gbpjpy. Friday evening I was thinking that this pair will drop from 147.5 to 147.05/146.75 around market closure and instead of keeping a sell open I set a temp pending buy from the lowest level to take the reversal. The drop didn't happened Friday but it did on Monday when the market opened, I took a buy for a small profit as I was no longer seeing the pair going up.
I don't know exactly how to fix this issue ...

Good trading day and it would have been better if I would have stayed longer in the profitable trades ... another thing I am looking to learn.
