Hey there, I’m Vince! I’m thrilled you stopped by. This is my Online Trading Journal.

Starting January 2025, I’ll be going live during the Frankfurt/London sessions, sharing my journey & trading process in real-time.
Trading in the ZONE to achieve consistent profits.

I'm back online to do what few traders dare—offering real-time trading and full transparency.
Join me and Watch me on YouTube and Twitch - as I take just $100 in trading capital with my preferred broker and grow it to $100,000, showing you every step of the journey to trading for a living. Along the way, I’ll celebrate milestones by taking profits every time I double my capital.

I will be doing a different approach this time which is trading EU & GU on the Frankfurt/London session using a simple price action technique with very strict risk management rules.

As always, I will be trading LIVE to show every steps on my YouTube channel and Twitch.

I will also be posting my daily updates here on ForexFactory, Facebook Page, Twitter and LinkedIn.
So, if you are on these platforms, you may also follow me there.

You can check my public journal for the progress of the account's capital here:

Subscribe now and Join me on this journey, and let’s grow together.

Don't be offended but, may I view this as:
It's going to be the 3rd day of trading and on the agenda is how to dig out of a 21% realized dd aka loss on this 3rd day of the experiment.

Hello OutThere.

Thanks for asking. No worries because I'm not offended and I'm not worried on this DD as well because I believe on the strategy and data that I have on this. I've tried this before already where I was able to grow a $40 account all the way up to $450 while taking some profits / withdrawing everytime I double the capital.

So I am truly confident on this approach that's why I came out and started to document everything even when I lose or win because I know for a fact that this can be worth it. Losses are inevitable on trading. That's why my only solution to avoid blowing up the account is to stick with very disciplined risk management where if I lose 2 or 3 trades in one day, I will close everything and call it a day so I can live to trade another day.

Is there a reason you don’t go the prop firm route instead of growing a tiny amount to a big one?

Actually there is. A lot of prop firms are going down lately. So, I don't want to waste my time and efforts with them anymore. I'd rather work with a broker and grow my account all the way to the top.

And lastly, I hated the spreads on prop firms. It's hard not to get stopped out if you have a tight stop loss. Unlike with my broker, the spread is respectable and workable.

Week 1 is Done, and I was able to generate almost a 45% increase from a $100 capital account, risking 5% or $5 per trade.

So, I'm also up 9R. The $ amount seems small but that's not what I'm looking at.

What matters most is the RR result and the % increase because weeks/months/years from now the $100 capital can become $100,000 and having a profit of 9R or 45% in a $100,000 account will already equate to $45,000 which is what I am looking forward to.

So, what I need to focus on is minimizing risk if I am wrong so the account will keep growing for a long period of time just with consistency.
