Ok, week #1 after the relaunch is over and I've got several good entries which I want to ride out. I'm not that sure about the Euro but it might go to 1.27-28. Let's see...

Thanks yes. But my sickness hasn't anything to do with trading, I'm just getting older. I want to produce more quality instead of quantity of trades. And I'd like to add that I'm one of those guys who show their failures. Maybe that's why it looks like I'm not "the good ol' one" anymore, but that's not true. I make mistakes and I show them. There were better times and there will be better times again. I've survived several years of completely different market conditions and have learned a lot. I think I'm prepared now...
It's good to see the evil kraut back. You're still "the good ol' one" around here. Getting back on the horse can be tough enough. Climbing back while everyone watches takes a whole different type of spirit.
And your honesty is rare.

All the best, friend.

Thanks Bill!

Right guys, I'm short Euro and Aussie now, long Yen. Euro is still in a down trend even though I think the bottom is near. Will scale in longs below 1.20 again.

Thanks!

Things improve rather good. I've placed a big (20k units) Euro long at 1.2068 and will let it ride with stop at BE. I've added a small AUD/JPY short because of a possible double top at 79. This could well lead back into the 72-74 area.

Hi man!

Nice trading, looks like you have a pretty good BR management as well,
what % are you risking per trade? I see you usually not setting any S/L | T/P , but also, your biggest DrawDown to date was only at 7-8% , can you share your trading style?

I also noticed that you wrote on your website that it should take 10-15 years,
well, that depends big time, if you run at 100%/month that's only 10 months to pass the 1Million

Good luck!

Orr.

hi, xaron:
I see you start another 1Million journal. last time you made big by long gold?

one question, how do you make a clean myfxbook history by oanda starting only 1k currency deposits??

when I enter my current oanda account, it shows deposits and withdraws back till last year.

if I want to make a same one (possibly just 100$) and track with myfxbook,
do I need to open a completely new oanda account? or sub-account is okey?


good luck btw.

Dear all,

I moved some of my funds to Oanda again which gives me the possibility to use MyFxBook again. Here's the link to MyFXBook:

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/Xaron/1k-1m/32355

I start with €1,000 this time an adapted BWILC style almost without fundamentals but just some kind of range trading.

Wish me luck.

Start on 20th of May 2010
Start balance: €1,000

Results

05-2010: €1,323.13: +32.13%

I was long in the Euro till now and have added a small short at 1.22:

I'm more comfortable with my Yen longs for now but I think in the long run we will see the 1.30 level again. Let's see how this short works out, I don't expect it to reach the lows at 1.1870 again.

LOL, right indeed! I use more technical stuff now and I'm currently writing some kind of eBook (which will be free of course) to explain all that stuff.

Thank you! I don't have that fixed risk per trade, it's more some kind of floating drawdown which I try to keep low. I almost never use hard stops with one exception: If I trade high leverage (like my 50k one) I always use a stop of course.
I will share my trading style soon, nothing spectacular, totally simple, based on BWILC. I'm writing some kind of eBook at the moment.

Hehe, yeah. But of course that won't happen. It's somehow easy to make these returns with a low account but of course not with a big one. I think 10-15 years are realistic if it is a realistic goal at all.

Hey Bill, thanks! Yes I was (and I am) a Gold bull. But I shorted it last night and closed it for a $10 win. lol. With all this FIAT money it's just some kind of safe haven.

As you've found out it's just a new sub account. You can also set a start date at MyFxBook, that works almost the same way even though everyone can see the history before that start date if he sets another date there...
