{quote} Sure I agree with you though I was thinking along the lines of adding this new account challenge and copying over the trades as most days I'm making 20 pips or more so I would basically be trading the same orders on the 2 accounts with 2 separate goals, one short term and one long term.
Maybe cashout and restart with 200 usd. Reach again 1800% (3600 usd) then cashout and restart with 400 usd (reach 7200 usd), then restart with 800 usd (reach 14400 usd) then restart with 1600 usd (reach 28800 usd) then restart with 3200 usd (reach 57600 usd) and so on. This way you will have money to restart not from initial 100 usd. You will have money for ~9 attempts to reach next level and no need to restart always from 100 usd. Just idea. Nice work you are doing here

Its not bad idea. While to open a new challenge not disturb your current challenge work, its fine from my point of view

Hi, I'm new to Trading,
just wanted to know how a lot size of 0.05 with 10pips will get $5 profit, i guess it should be 0.05*10=$0.50
thanks and regards,
Nitin.

A lot size of 0.05 is 5 x microlots. A microlot is 0.01 which equates to 10 cents ($0.10) per pip. Thus 5 x 10 cents equal 50 cents (a pip) x 20 pips = $10

Hope that helps!

Standard account is as follows

0.01 lot = 1000 currency units = 0.10 Dollars/pip
0.1 lot = 10 000 currency units = 1 dollar/pip
1.0 lot = 100 000 currency units = 10 dollar/pip
10 lot =1 000 000 currency units = 100 dollar/pip
100 lot = 10 000 000 currency units= 1000 dollar/pip
1k lot = 100 000 000 currency units = 10 000 dollar/pip

in other words, if you don't know what you do, in less than 200 pips with 0.05 lot size your account is blown.'

Let's assume your margin call is 80% then that means you have 80 dollars to play with, anything above it will cause broker to automatically to close your trades.

80/0.5 == 160 pips going against you, before your account is blown

I trade with a standard account where 0.01 lots is = $0.10 per pip, so 0.05 lots would have a value of $0.50 per pip and if I trade for 10 pips that would = $5, ($0.50 x 10 = $5).

Already, by turning $100 into $2000, you are now in the 5% forex skill vip group. Turn it into $10k and you will be in the 1% club.

Good job mrdfx, I love this thread! it reminds me of the rags to riches approach. Have you thought about taking withdrawals later on or is the idea to let it ride until your goal of 409K?

Happy Friday!!!

It was a slow kinda day adding +1.2%. I did not achieve the daily target, but a profit is still a profit and I'll take it. This closes the week on +39.3% which is great and I'm happy with this weeks performance.

Have a great weekend FF.

Ok so I wasn't done yet, thought I was, but took 2 small scalps to add another +1.9% to bring today's total to +3.1% and this week to +41.9%.

You might have noticed that I removed the TE. While I am trading and there are open orders I will hide the TE and once all orders are closed I will make it public. By doing so it will prevent people from trying to copy my trades, but still allow members to check out the account stats and follow along.

Really superb trading mrdfx.

The secret of your success in my view if the 4th column.
Only 153 trades since you started

Trade less to gain more is a big chunk of the holy grail. No doubt about it.
If we could all spend a lot more time looking for and then trading only the very best setups instead of allowing ourselves to be induced into trading when we should be sitting on our hands, we could quite easily imitate your fine results

Hi Brle110, I trade mostly during the NY session. I only trade a cpl hours a day. At NY open I first check for any economic news events that might affect the pairs I'm scanning for set ups, then wait and watch.
