Yes but don't open standard account (open cent account) because in that type of account the smallest lot size allowed is 0.01 so you can open 3 trades only for 1:100 account.

Glad you are back Davit! I've been on the euraud boat like several others for the past couple months. Haven't been managing it as actively as I should have been (trailing SL to capture profits, etc.) But DD is now tiny and the positive swap has been nice. I must say seeing you post here again has really got me motivated this morning. Green pips!

Hello. It is possible but will be slow going. The number of entries you can take per trade will be very limited. I started with around $500 and it was tedious. Things feel alot better once you get into the $1-2k range.

{quote} I am looking at your gains and puzzled. How did you only make less then 14 dollars on 69pips 4trades .08 lot seems like lot of effort for peanuts.No offense I am just scratching my head here. Do you have 500 dollar account? that may explain it 69 pips divided with .80C equals 86 dollars minus spread fees whatever 80dollars What am I missing
Yes I indeed started with a $500 account in mid August it is current at $1,050.38 to be exact. Reason I started small is that I open account with other investment profits since I refuse to open with money from my pocket. Less stress. Besides I am still holding some EU and do not want to risk Margin.

I am very conservative and am taking small chunks rather than going for the HR. Some trades such as these I considered a bit risky as it is not inline with Method but when I see what I believe to be a good probability I take it in order to build the account size. Then around Tues or Wed I focus strictly on Method rules.

I learned from past mistakes to take profit quickly during NFP week and go in without an open trade then enter accordingly afterwards. This week will be an exception and will see once again results.

Besides I am a Yankee fan (still learning trading) maybe someday when I become more experienced I will become a Red Socks fan (Pro Trader)

I started with 100€ account, now at 530€, However it seems that I lost my touch, I started to get greedy and now I'm struggling to continue earning, I have to say that I'm not losing either but its like I win then I lose... I hope I can get my shit together and keep on the earnings.

Of course trading 100€ account and 0.01 you will have to be extremely careful with your entries and averaging down only when super necessary or clear, you can end up losing the account quite quickly... Keep in mind that you will not see fancy numbers like +1000pips on screen as for you most probably will be just +60 so you need to see things in % of your current account more than just pips.

Kind Regards,
Jaime

^Best advice for a small account and also really hard to do in practice. Focus on percent of equity gained rather than dollar amount.

I have to admit although he posts to encourage us there are times I see we have same trades and I want to kick myself for not adding more. Then I step back and remember this is hindsight...at the time of trade I did exactly what I intended to do otherwise I would have added more.

I say what Davit says it should be in line with my account. Also that as I progress I will become more confident on my trades decisions and as my account grows so will my trade entries. Requires a lot of patience but my past blown accounts keep reminding me what happens when I over trade and make bad decisions.

I remember a couple years back some of Davits trades where just 100 or so pips and he was just as thrilled as he is now. He knew if he continue to do what works he would be at this point soon enough. He kept mentioning 3 years time (which by the way is coming up).

I just have to stick with what works let it compound, and give it time to work itself out. I've witness it happen so it can happen to me. No need to change what works.

I agree, opportunities on the horizon, I really need to improve on patience, not only when in position but also waiting for position. I go through strong tense emotions even with a small account, I surpose it comes with experience and getting to a place where trading is boring and repeat a process over and over again.

i believe that I never had success with other methodology’s and this first time I have a standing chance however Rome wasn’t built in a day. The problem also with winning is euphoria that one encounter that can have a damaging effect. I think it’s time to read MD book bring a peg down or two.

61-100 is the zone to look for trade. 61 is the key zone. 78 is scott carney's last chance for reversal and 100 is another key zone. I personally don't take all 61 especially if the higher time frame does not support it. Couple with the fundamental aspect that favor dollar now UJ could go above 61. For me to take trade at 61 I must see a good PA at that level supported by angleator and TDI. I am just being conservative. Most time I don't just enter at 61 without other supporting elements and hoping to add when market get to 78 and 100. If however, there are supporting element and I enter at 61 and it continue to the next level I am always confidence to add without any fear. Angleator and TDI is not there for fun. I still use them most of the time. 61-100 is the trading zone so when price gets there I have enough time to plan without FOMO.
