This is a old old trading explorer of mine after a year of inactivity my broker decided to withdraw £10 from my account as a penalty. Hopefully by posting this here it will give people some food for thought by going back over some of my old trades. This account was used as a tester account to see how things work out without risking large amounts of money but also keeping the emotions somewhat real demo accounts are great for when you're learning but eventually you have to take the stabilisers off and use real money that's what I was using this account for to test out new ideas whilst using real money

I am going to be making some more trades on this trade explorer just for fun whilst covid and the subsequent lock downs have graciously given me more time on my hands then I had previously expected (this will not last long I have my 3rd child on the way soon )

There are some great people on this website and if by looking over some of my previous mistakes I can be of any benefit to you I am happy to help

A good place for new traders to learn would also be off Max Doom who has been consistent for a number of years I have also read positive reviews about Profit farmer however guys be careful of the people you encounter here I remember when I first started out there was a guy who was red flagged which give him the illusion of authority that was trying to teach me trading and kept asking me to meet up with him over Skype lucky I never did he eventually had his membership revoked I followed him to another website out of curiosity and the guy basically admitted that he wasn't a profitable trader himself he just likes trying to teach other people how to trade bizarre but there are bizarre people on the internet

Forex is a long and hard road remember that

As people can see I lost 0.5% this week which was purely down to a lack of discipline even if it's a small account you should try to treat it like it's a large account this will keep you in the right frame of mind to be a successful trader.

As you can see from the trade explorer most of my success has come from trading the Netherlands top 25 using the 4 hours as an entry point as I'm just having fun this week and last week I have been trading on the 15-Minute time frame something Im not as experienced in however I use a very similar system on the 4-hour to the 15-minutes time frame

I will use the experience I had this week in a positive fashion similar to how you would do in a sporting competition keep a short memory for anything you do well as not to get overconfident but also keep a short memory for anything you done poorly so you do not allow it to rock your confidence making you hesitant you have to balance this with being realistic and understanding your mistakes whilst trying to fix them you can do this by going over your trades successful and unsuccessful and evaluating them and your decision process mixed in with your frame of mind at the time of the trade

Nice going with the NL25!
For real,why the trader explorer is not capable of showing the charts of gold and indices..

The Netherlands top 25 is a great indices to start off with because it moves very similar to the Dax however it allows you much easier money management because it has smaller value in comparison to the Dax which and it allows you to practice whilst keeping risk to a minimum

Also indices are easier to trade than currencies because they generally go up in value it's much harder to predict how currency are going to behave

After countless hours of backtesting and forward chart watching,I decided to not trade currencies.
Indices and some other global market caps seem to be more solid to me as well..

There are not many things I can guarantee you in life but I can guarantee you that will save you a lot of time and a lot of heartache currencies are an absolute nightmare indices have so many advantages over currencies for trading mainly being they have a clear movement preferences of going up in value

It is really up to the trader and his preferences but god dammit..
Watching the currencies gives me real headaches as well,not gonna lie.
Major currencies have really tight spreads but good brokers also offer nice spreads on indices as well so no prob at all.
Well perhaps we perform better on the Indices because that's where our strategy/technique is most appreciated who knows.
Another thing I would note is I've been also analyzing winning portfolios with 6 figures,currencies are the small part of those portfolios or not even traded.
Biggest winners I could find usually trade the Stock Market,Indices,Gold.

Also yes, I have major permabull outlook on the Indices and the Stock Market,it is nice to carry small lots on the bull side..
But with currencies,oh boy.. good luck predicting that.

Another thing new traders should consider is what broker you are using I was with trading212 when I first started trading and the tricks they pulled on me could have never been used against a experienced trader I suggest new traders should always go with reputable brokers and at the first sign of any shady business that cannot be resolved to just take your money elsewhere

I was trading with Tikkmill,but over the time I realized my strategy/outlook performs a lot better on the Indices so I tried to find a good broker that's offering indices,mainly US30,Nasdaq,Russell2000.
After an in-depth research, I found TradeDirect365.. they offer fixed spreads plus the CloudTrade CFD Liquidity platform with it.
Also Global Prime has really decent liquidity and good scores on forexpeacearmy etc.

As you can see from my trade explorer I have been in a losing trade for 4 weeks I should have been more disciplined before entering this trade currently I am tempted to add to the position however you never know what is going to happen over Christmas and New year so adding to the position would be more poor discipline


Anyway hope everyone has a happy Christmas and New year

I have held tight and it's looking like the risk is paying off but the markets have a funny way of lulling people into a false sense of security just to smash you

I'm sitting in dd with VZ stocks for 4 months already. dd was no more than -15%. Now it is -7%. Swaps not so big so far. Im ok with that. Have multiple accounts therefore to diversify my capital.

you have -1.5% dd now - not critical
