Joining the journey. I'm a part time trader. I like the idea of compounding. Fantastic performance mrdfx.
Hello all,
Currently I am stuck at work. Will only start trading about 8 hours from now.
As a friend mentioned to me, not the best time to trade, beggars can't be choosers.
I just won't be able to follow the plan right to the end, my broker Pepperstone only offer max volume of 100 on XAUUSD
Currently I will only be trading XAUUSD.

I've created a spreadsheet to assist myself in achieving the goal.
Only 4 trades a day MAX. I try not to over trade and become greedy.

That is 100 per trade, you can just make more than 1 trade.. if you are lucky enough to get that far

MARCH COMPLETED!


Today I completed the 3rd month successfully achieving +700% profit and the month of March only just started!

Today I was not expecting to complete the month and make over +20%! I had initially made the +8% and I was happy with that, but then the trade manager glitched and opened more orders which it wasn't supposed to, and then of course the market started going in the opposite direction. I then loaded my recovery EA to try cost average out the extra orders and in doing so hit some unwanted high DD. Luckily Gold did turn as I was expecting and I managed to recover and still make profit achieving the monthly target ahead of schedule.

I need to get the trade manager checked out by the guy who gave it to me so it does not do this again. Besides that, it's been a great month and I had many great opportunities enabling me to reach this months target which now puts me 1 full month ahead of schedule. This big gap gives me a lot of breathing room and eases some of the pressure of needing to try trade everyday. That being said IF I see some good opportunities I'll def take them and IF the day is good I'll shoot for more than the +5% minimum, it will be stupid to leave profit on the table if it's there.

Cheers guys!

Quoting ultax
I have read through the whole thread. First of all congrats! Secondly, I was wondering if you can be a bit clearer with your strategy? I see you use the TMA and mention the daily trend... how are you gauging the daily trend and then using that on the lower timeframes? Wanting to join you on this challenge.
I use the TMA only as a visual aid not for making trade decisions. I actually don't use many indicators as I focus more on what price is doing. I do look at YDH, YDL, also DH and DL, ADR and market structure. I look at higher time frames (D1, H4) to see the overall trend direction and market structure and as I'm only aiming for 10 pips at a time I'll look at the lower time frames (M5, M15) for my entries.

When I do my analysis I take all these factors above to help make a better informed decision of what I think the price is going to do, I basically take all the information and try to increase the probability of 50/50. Of course sometimes it does take time for price to go in the direction I anticipated, but so far its worked out well.

i think if you dont stop to add to lose trades, so in other words averaging, then you will regret it later when you lose all your money with just 1-2 wrong trades, because not only money is then gone, more important all the time was for nothink.

actually you did not even reach 1000% win after 3 months, i did make sometimes 1000% in one day or week when i was playing, which is really not much for such risky strategys, i usually did lose after 10.000 percent gain such accounts which i did trade with simular strategys.

the markets are full of false signals, no matter which signals you have. just look to EURUSD how this pair is currently since few weeks playing again with all this averaging traders, which add to lose trades.

but this i dont tell just for you also for all other eyes which are reading. dont fool yourself with such thinks. adding to lose trades is a sure think that you will lose, better add sometimes to win trades.

I also use TMA along with higher time frame visualisation. TMA is definitely to be recommended - works on all time frames

Waiting for some action today, hopefully NY session gives us some volatility to capitalize on.

In the mean time here is the current Myfxbook stats for those that like to follow it.

Guys I may be wrong but I think this thread is more for those who have a trading system and are happy with it and want to use it as a vehicle to enter the 409k challenge and hopefully grow ones account accordingly. If you feel that you do not have not a good system you could firstly have a look at the "daily trading ideas" thread and try the akim system. Some people swear by it but it didn't suit my trading style. I do think forex is 90% mental and 10% whatever system one is trading!
If you want to check out TMA just search "tma" on forex factory - plenty of interesting stuff on TMA slope indi and "Extreme TMA system" , etc.
