So...I'm back.

A more focused, more disciplined me this time round. A myriad of strategies would be employed on this account, feel free to ask about anything. However, this account is also meant to be traded more aggressively.

Starting capital: SGD 1,000. Start small, get it right.

12 July 2018: SGD 1,101. +10.12%.
13 July 2018: SGD 1,321. +19.98%.

On 13 July, was initially at around SGD 2,000, but lost SGD 700 on a bad NY session, but it was controlled, so all's cool.

Last week's wrap:

1. Gold found itself sitting at critical support of 1241.
2. Yen pairs exhibited a new flow of funds that interests me greatly. USD/JPY and other yen pairs moved in inverse directions, likely due to trade wars/tariffs fears. Risk on=usual distribution of funds. Risk off=funds flowing to JPY...and USD. As such, while pairs like GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY and AUD/JPY made late rallies to end the week, we saw USD/JPY tread lower. EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY and other yen pairs (except USD/JPY) were sold down during London but all rallied during US session..
3. EU bulls closed on a high of the day, but was unable to reclaim 1.17 territory.

Very kind of you. This account is more of a "tactical" account, with an aggressive approach and under-taking higher risks.

Thank you and would love to see you pop in here often.

Can you tell what normal SL you are using in your strategy? and what pairs you tend to trade?

For the last 2 days, I traded yen pairs but generally I have no preference. Yen pairs (EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, AUD/JPY), cable, EUR/USD, and XAU/USD are usually the ones on my radar, although I do pay some attention to USD/CAD, AUD/USD and EUR/GBP too.

For SL, usually I go in on high confidence trades, so have looser SLs. However, if you took a look, I let the loss on my EUR/JPY short ran a little too much (based on normal terms) but still within control (as when I closed it, I'm still green for the day, up nearly 20%). The approach here would be a little more cavalier-if I have big wins and a buffer so as to speak, I would be more willing to hold out losses.

Click here (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=11262719#post11262719) and read from then on. I propose Dukas_trader to be renamed as Dubious_trader or Dumbass_trader henceforth.

what happened to trade explorer?
Mate, I put it up because I wanted to challenge another user. I never wanted to put up a TE anyway.

Anyway, I will start another thread again, it would be based on a robo system I made. Not for sale though. Still testing.
