even at less than 10 contracts per setup. but at these pnl, im ok with. as long as it doesn't take out more than 3 days profit. The strategy is still "settling". the fee for improvement is steep lol

Just to repeat one more time (as I got burnt on day1 in futures), your screenshots do not include NetPnL which means you are not factoring trading costs in your trade outcome and trade stats. Commission is showing as zero so just drawing your attention. PnL should always be net of costs if you are risking a portion of your profits to make or risk more.

EDIT: I put $10 for all my strategy development/testing or $4.1 for live.

yea at 3.6/contract, it came out to few hundred dollars. that's why i just rounded down to 5k net. for some reason when i put in 3.6 round turn on the pnl indicator, it completely screw up the calculation.

{quote} so it appears $15K / week is just not enough for you to stop trading! I think you and I both have issues with not keeping our profits and calling it a day or week. As my dad would say...." What the FUCK are you doing son? " LOL
i need a money manager to watch over me or something.

but then again, what's good enough? some people are ok with $1000, or few hundred. 10 years ago making $100/week trading would make me feel like a millionaire. so i'd rather not focus on the money, but rather on the process.

If you focus on the process, the money will come.

{quote} Day 1 {image} Goal weight 190-195 Fat 15% or under I really wish they do away with this stupid bmi index. Obviously I'm not obese, but the stupid formula just looks at weight (without taking into account muscle mass) and height. It's concerning that I'm "older" than what I'm supposed to be...I blame trading and gaming..
Just got a bit heavier after travel week. Fuck, why is it so hard to be lean. I should've been a pro bodybuilder...

Would you rather be an Ecto or Endo instead? Just be comfortable with who you are dude. I have been tracking my weight since 1991 @169lbs and my track record on average is approx 10-12 lbs per decade with doing absolutely nothing... eating whatever and however much I want to eat and I have not entered a gym since my high school graduation. I am currently at 191-194 with my body weight fluctuating about 5-6 lbs EVERY day. I skip a lunch and I drop 7-8lbs. I weigh after meals and I gain the same amount back. With one exception when I touch 214lbs in 2016 which took me under 6 months to bring it below below 200 when I chose to permanently give up alchohol. I still have the hugely visible beer pot belly so that's on my plate next to get rid off :-

Desperation only makes the goal far more difficult to achieve... saying just from my own personal experience. As I look back in my own life, I have achieved some incredible things in life simply by setting zero-expectations going in and many things have happened just by mare participation "to see what happens". My simple solution to the millions of Americans who wake up depressed every morning... There are only two things to avoid 1) Stare in the body-size mirror 2) Measure you health vitals (including the annual physical checkups and butt pokes... the more tests you run on your body, the most miserable life becomes!)

Sorry/ the damn preacher in me just came out again:-(

VEEFX,
are you sure it is the preacher?
it more sound like borderline fairy tale territory.
214 to 200 = 2 skipped lunch ( in bellow 6 months), doesnt sound too harsh

Please read my post again... I did not say I lost 14 lbs by skipping just two lunches for 6 months lol All I said was, body weight fluctuates up and down throughout the day based on when and how much I eat.... and on an average, my "growth rate" has remained about the same gaining approx 10lbs for over 3 decades resulting in a 'trend line break' in 2016 which alerted my MT4 mobile to intervene via 100 lot countertrend short trade in order to bring it back to the moving average.... speaking in trader terminology :-)

and it was 224... 214 was a typo. I just weighed and I am at 189lbs before dinner. After dinner, I know it will shoot up to 194-195.

The underlying preacher's message is (if it is not apparent by now) "Know Thy Self" and avoid feeling miserable or the urge to complain :-

This is absolutely my territory)

It depends how serious you are, cos losing weight and/or body fat NATURALLY is actually easy, but you have to be dedicated to the cause, at least for as long as you want to appear ripped.

Most people try to diet without really understanding body mechanics. Cut out SUGAR. It is enemy number one. That also includes simple carb's. People don't understand how carb's turn to sugar (glucose) in the body.

Next, don't try to cut calories. There is no need. The body merely slows it's metabolism to match. Eat normally and then go without for a full day. That will take a bit of will power until you get used to it. One day a week. Eat evening meal, then nothing for a day and breakfast the next, it should give you around a 36 hour window of 'fasting'. Your body will switch to burning fat for energy (ketosis) during this time, (as opposed to glucose from your food).

The process also boosts levels of HGH by up to 2,000%, so that it wont take too much energy from muscle. Simple and natural.
