So the markets have closed for the week, which means it's review time and time for friends and haters alike to have some fun with or at the expense of me!
Gather up, holla up!!!
So nope, the trade explorer remains private because at the moment, there are running trades.
Haters: I bet he's in drawdown, account about to be blown! HAHAHA loser piece of shit!
Optimistic friends: There's no reason to think so, Fleps has been updating, let's wait and see.
Pessimistic friends: Perhaps, but maybe the account isn't blown, let's wait for an update, but things don't look good.
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO!
Yes, I'm in drawdown, of $200! And yes, as you can see, there are 2 running trades, one is positive, one is in drawdown but the combined P/L statment is -$200.
Do whatever you so desire with this piece of information.
So far, we have had 14 consecutive wins, which makes me very happy. Duh.
But I am foreseeing an issue. It is getting more difficult to keep snagging 5% growth. Two considerations are obvious.
Firstly, I cannot have the same kind of TP range because the same kind of TP range doesn't give me 5%. Pretty straight-forward. But if I were to gun for a more greedy TP, such trade opportunities may not come as often.
The second consideration is to increase my lot sizing by 5%. This seems to be the obvious answer but drawdown can snowball pretty quickly so when you increase lot sizing, you have to improve entry points, which isn't a strong suit in this system.
Any experts would like to lend me a brain to think about this?
I may be "forced" to do some smaller trades, whereby the returns could be ~1% to push the track. How do I then classify these trades? They are obviously not part of the "perfect trades".
Now moving on to the lighter parts!
This account has been LIVE for nearly a month. Great to say I have accrued more swap compared to the commission I paid.
For those who want the complete history till this point:
Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for dropping by.

I have to say what a great name for the thread. I never opened a thread but if i will, I will name it From $1,000 to a $1,000,000
I feel exuberant and cocky this week(AMD + NVDA + Dow Futures)...well cocky at any given time, but exubérant not that often...hopefully this does not mean that bull market in stocks is getting closer to the end.

{quote} There is no astute reply. Imagine you're watching a video clip of a say, soccer player. The coach says: look, in this situation, the best thing to do is to pass to a teammate. However, if the player in that situation is say, Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo (fat), Ronaldo (handsome after riches), Messi, etc...and he decides to make a run and ends up scoring...what says that coach? Is he going to say that it is a bad play? Similarly, market conditions will never replicate itself like for like. You can say that I'm just putting up an excuse to wriggle...
It reminds of an incident(most likely has nothing to do with our convo).
I played ice hockey for 7 years in a local leagues and went as high as 3 leagues above where i started. When I got into Gold league, one before the best, Platinum league, when playing first game for Gold team I scored a goal and was excited that it was my first goal in the first game for the new team. Guess what? Captain skated to me and said, "Why did you shoot?", my answer "I had a good angle on goalie and I scored a goal". His answer was "Next time pass, your teammate was open for an easier shot" WTF, life is never boring.
