Hi There,

I share my calculation with you,

if you want to go 100 to 409k in one year (260 trading days) you have to win %3.25 every day. here it is. as mrdfx said calculation can bring us stress. but worst plan is better then lack of planning. have a good weekend.

I'm also silently on the challenge. As you mentioned here Im also too early sometimes. When I analyze the trade history I felt so... F*ed.
Staying on safe side with a small pip count is far better than DD. I made my mind like that

some development for my calculation.

left side is planning, right side is reality calculation. these calculation is just for knowledge where you are, what did you do, if you do same things what will you do.

in short, it calculates your own trend like any currency pair

I do not know P.A. ...
would say worst plan is leading to failure, no chance to succeed, while lack of the plan gives you a shadow of chance. Just meter of luck.

This is Piece of that skill. all puzzle pieces must combine correctly. You cannot do this at the same time. Every Piece has different problem. We discuss one piece in this thread.

You couldnt imagine how many Excel sheets i have for trading

Happy Monday guys.

Managed to add +4.1% to the account.

You may have noticed that its not 5% which is the daily target, but the thing is as the account grows, the set amount of $160 per day for month 6 does not add up to 5% anymore. None the less that is the daily monetary target I still try to aim for.

mrdfx, I am no expert, but you seem to be a competent trader. That said, I wish to ask, does lady luck also need to be on your side to reach your 409k target? Sometimes the market gives a string of loses, no matter the skill level of the trader.

So if trading your 100lots, combined with 3 x 25% losses such as EURCAD in May….!

I guess I am saying that if you reach your 409 target, then it was because of your trading skill, but it is also because of good luck, as you didn’t run into a succession of losses. Would you agree luck plays a part?

Please don’t take offence. It’s a genuine question.

Le.Metier, when you refer to luck then you are referring to gambling, and when it comes to trading if you don't know what you doing then you are essentially gambling in the markets.

Every trade opened is 50/50 at the start, but by doing a proper analysis and having a solid strategy and trade plan in place you can increase the probability of success to maybe 70, 80 or even 90%.

I like to think that I have a solid strategy and trade plan in place, sure I'm not right all the time, that's impossible, but overall I have my little edge that keeps me ahead of the game. The challenge is high risk and sometimes my trades or MM won't make sense and in light of whats considered normal trading it won't cos its not normal, making $409k form $100 is not normal so its needs a different approach and strategy.

Some might say its luck, and they can think whatever they want, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and accomplish the challenge.

Today was a good day adding +10.5% to the account.

I took a buy scalp on Gold which went nicely according to my analysis, and looking at Gold now it looks like I took profit too early and could have secured a much larger profit. Oh well there will always be what ifs, but I achieved the daily target so I'm happy.

I agree skilled trading is not luck, it hinges upon probabilities. As for “luck” it is a loaded word, and perhaps not a good choice.

Assuming the trader is “skilled”, a run of unscheduled and significant news events is the primary obstacle to the 409 challenge. The past 12 months has been filled with them, Trump, Brexit, viruses etc.

If that were to happen at the last legs, it would be unlucky…unfortunate.
