Seems you have found the holy grail.
LOL, not quite haha.

If there is such a thing I think that each has their own personal 'holy grail' & it's located in the six or so inches between their ears

There is a great danger in becoming complacent and thinking that you have this all worked out. That's when the market turns round and bites you in the butt lol.

Hi Steve,


I was just curious, but what is your total balance since starting back in November. Best wishes.

Hi David

I'll be updating the journal with yearly figures throughout which I've used a few different methods and timeframes.

I've only talked pips and % of account balances and there is a very good reason for that. This is my first live account and I'm only trading peanuts compared to most but the intention was to learn with real money and try and formulate a few methods that I can put some real money behind.

The reason I don't talk $'s or £'s is because I find it much easier to keep my head straight. I've talked to a few traders that trade as their main source of income and that was their advice so I took it on board.

Hope this helps

Kind Regards
Steve

PSsssst....Steve....Steviee......psssst.....did you know......they also have a BUY BUTTON at brokers these days? Pssssstttt!!! ;p

I blame Sesame Street!

Hehehe ;p

You could be scalping profit AND earning swap, too!

And you might even end up not seeing as many reasons to close as when shorting at times ;p

Ya know, was a bit astonished seeing your nighttime affairs turn into a relationship, feels like you wed the wrong bride n all, but here you are, after the honeymoon, still happy and chipper...hope you make it past the seventh though!

Hi there Mr T.

I notice that your acc' balance increased 0.1% with 10 pips profit, meaning your account is 10,000 pips "big".

This seems like a very small amount of risk per trade. Have you arrived at this risk level through painful experience or have your trades been this size since the beginning of the thread?

(Just wondering because one of "my" pips equates to about 1/2000 equity at the moment,subject to change.)

It is my belief that if a pip constitutes more than 1/1000 equity then we're getting into seriously dicey trade sizes but 1/10,000 seems a bit stingey.

BTW. Congratulations on the awesome performance, long may it continue.

Regards,

Ed.
