Undergoing some changes. But more importantly, learned a lot of things being a young trader/money manager. Hopefully will translate these lessons into a profitable year.

I only risk 0.5% for each entry for maximum of 2% risk. I've been trading this a little over a year and the worst drawdown I've had is around 10%.

Then again, 50%, 80% or 100% drawdown is always possible

I like to keep it real!

Hi Hilmy,
any reason why you risked 2% on each of those carry trades, when you stated earlier in the thread, that you only ever risk 0.5% ?

Also, what happened to Fund B ? why did it dissapear ? Did you simply have your clients pool the funds ?

In anycase, too bad about those trades, would have been perfect if you were selling them

Not a good day to be short the Yen ...

What are you thoughts and plans for Sunday / Monday ?
Good Trading to you

Well Fund B is gone cause after thinking about it, why not just consolidate the large funds. I had two of them because I thought the 20 pairs I trade would strain the account, but turns out, I only take 20 trades/month. So it's ok

I should've worded that more clearly about 0.5%/per trade up to 2%. Yea I take up to 2%/per trade but depending how close/far it is from s/r I would take 0.5% at a time or 2% right away.

Well yes you do, considering you got out at exactly the right level, a 2% loss feels good after a market move like this, a 6.7% move in AUD/JPY. Nice trading, you have done a lot better than a lot of accounts out there.

Its been an awesome show, and ride, in today's asian session.

As for Fund B, I was going to suggest the same thing, if anything it was a bit of a distraction.
Good Trading to you Hilmy

whoooah..i don't know what happened there . Well actually it was a case of deviating from the rules. I have to say after 2 years, this is the biggest drawdown i have ever experienced. Kind of humbling. But I'm still trading/'modifying' my system. I have long way to go obviously, just one of many obstacles. Let's goooo august!
