$409k Challenge

Hi everyone Well I have some stuff to do today so I decided to get finished early. Can't try for 70% everyday because that is obviously a recipe for disaster! {image}
I think that’s a very important lesson. As you say, massive gains become highly addictive and your mind will keep saying “just one more” and then boom, you call it wrong and wipe out.

Best of luck with your challenge.

There's been a lot of action this week and I did miss yesterdays moves, but did catch up today.

Well I nearly blew it -overtrading again. What is wrong with me??

With Gold, even trading 1 microlot (10 cents a pip), if you get it wrong you can be 3 or 4 dollars down in a few seconds!

Anyway I managed to recover and even increase the balance a bit

Take it easy man, remember this challenge is a journey not a race. Whether this challenge takes 1 year or 2-3+ years the end goal is to complete it for the $409k.

When you feel like you over trading remember what that did for you previously. If it didn't work before why would it now? You need to change your psychology on trading especially when it comes to this challenge, that's what I've had to do.

Thanks for the advice mate - you've got a point but I think I'm not the only one with that problem right?

We've all got faults and we've all blown our accounts but this is my trading style. I must be doing something right - had $50 left in my account last Wednesday - just made some adjustments and seems to be working in the main as long as I don't overtrade.

Why I'm gunning it a bit at the moment is because I have a fair amount of losses to make up still. But perhaps for this week it's probably enough - a couple more trades today to add on. Tomorrow I take a break unless I see the perfect set up which is doubtful!

P.S.: Still have a long way to go to the target 409k

Well I managed to trade a bit this morning. I hope 5% is acceptable to everyone? Don't want to upset anyone by going for too much!

Sorry guys, I was naughty - couldn't help it - had a couple of pending trades which were triggered unexpectedly

Now it really is time to catch up on all the chores before I get into even bigger trouble!!

PS: only $408,600 to go!

Nice going

Even 1% is OK as long as one is green and not red IMHO!

Well they came back for a while this morning but then decided to take a holiday!

Oh well Monday is another day - goodness I left a lot, and I mean a LOT, of pips on the table this morning - the usual fear factor problem!! Should have been out of sight by now but anyway will just have to be content with 12%. Better then a kick in the teeth I suppose!

Well I was going to take the day off due the holiday but decided to trade - bad idea! Was a very tough day due to the low volume

Anyway just managed to achieve the minimum 5% - what a struggle
