Yesterday no Trades for me during London open. London opens in 13minutes. {image}
Cancel that it looks like it is on it's way without the retrace.

Hey Team!
This Week was tough to trade during London open, nonetheless it was Profitable for me.
I have started my Account with 500€. I am now at 710,86€
It may not seem impressive when its done on a smaller Account such as this one.
But I want you to focus on the % Gain. Which is at this Point at about 35% (Its more, but I have manually added some money which I wont include in the Gain).
This Journal to begin with is not to show how much Money I have to others, but its to show myself that I am still able to Trade profitable.
I at some Point will either add a lot more money into this Account or I will start a different Account which I will copy the Trades on, once I feel like I want to take that Step.
For now, I am very happy with the process.
Happy Weekend all. Next Week I will be Trading New York open.
As David Goggins would say... STAY HARD!

Great news on your trading this week.
In regards to account size you will have to work out what you need each month to pay the bills.
A good friend of mine gave me the best advice in regards to trading for a living.
"What you think you are going to make half it and what you think your costs will be double it.
I started will a $3k account and made some good profit so I quite my job and opened an account with $50k
I was so stressed trading a higher amount and started making mistakes. I ended up $23k down in a month.
I went back to work and traded a $1k account and then sold my business and traded a $165k account.
Still stressful trading higher amounts but the way to overcome the stress is to fully understand your system and yourself.
Many years have passed and trading a large account is the norm for me.
Slow and steady wins the race. If I can help in any way let me know.
Well done

The idea of copying to a larger account can definitely have psychological benefits dependant on the individual of course.
Keep going. Rinse and repeat
