Ok, time for another update. Actually I did not very well late in April due to the break down of the 1.2950 barrier which was a fake one - but afterwards it's always easy to see.

So I closed some Euro longs down there and booked some losses again. Again I just had too many trades running.

Phew... so I just thought about everything and decided to calm down a bit and do more relaxed trading... Will see how this turns out.

End of april my balance/nav was at 8,559.92. A new historical low. I'll post my statements later again...

No worries. historical lows means historical highs in the future.
Definitely watching this "epic" journey of yours. Keep it up!

Thanks for your kind words. Actually I expected some kind of "loser bashing".

Ok, as I promised, here comes the transactions list.

I decided to close my grids as this just became to inflexible in the long run (e.g. for the case I want to do a short trade in the EU - simple hedging isn't possible with Oanda using the same pair in the same account). That's why the list is very long.

I try to keep it more simple from now on. Still a long way to recover those losses but I'm on the way.

Hi all,

starting this thread I will try to reach something that some already have done and most never will manage to do.

I want to make my first million by trading in the forex market starting with only 10,000 Euro over a period of 10 years. And I want to document it here so everyone can see if I fail or not.

10 years are a long period at least in the forex markets and market conditions will change in that period. So how will I try to achieve my goal?

The first two months I tried a pure mechanical approach using inside bars. This attempt...
why does it have to take you 10 years? When you can do it in over half that time??

Yes, of course that is possible. But as you can see at least for me it isn't that easy.

I want to see a chart on a losing trade so we can look at where it went wrong? Also are you following the volume so you can see the participation of professional money in the pair?

Xaron,

form what i can see from your reports, you make a lot of trades/day. Have you tried a strategy that doesn't involve so many trades/day /going on a higher timeframe ? From my experience that is the best way to trade.

You might be right. Usually I trade from 30m-daily and sometimes with no chart at all.

Yay, break even day - the second time. I'm back above 10k again. Will this be the first month I'm in the plus?
