30% return in 3 months live trading account statement

I do not know if it is appropriate or not but I wanted to post my live account statement here for people to take a look at and learn as well as give me feedback. This is manly for those people out there who are out there struggling with their trading as everyone who has traded for a number of years has had to deal with before they become successful. I always found it inspiring and uplifting to hear and see people actually making money investing which inspires me to keep going. By no means am I saying that I have made it or know everything because I am a very long way away and learning everyday, however, I have just recently gotten extremely serious with trading treating it like a full time job and have been exceeding my goals and becoming profitable. What you will see when you look at my equity curve and it is important to note when I actually started trading with a strategy and not just blindly entering in to the market. As well as when I started to trade having a money management plan. You will note prior to trade 89 I had No strategy or MM plan of any kind, from trade 1-89 you can see my account just stagnating not really going anywhere, this is when I did not have a plan of any kind, from trade 90 you can see my trading plan in action and then see how I did not implement my MM plan. From trade 107 onward you will see me following a set trading strategy and well as using a successful money management plan via the lack of significant draw-downs. My very first trade was April 4th of this year up until close of markets Friday so I am incredibly happy with a 30% return in 3 months. This just goes to show that it is possible to make over 100% a year. If you believe you can, and work hard enough I strongly believe that anything is possible and this is my proof. I would be willing to share my entire transaction history, however, I do not know how to take the file the MT4 makes that is viewable thru Internet Explorer and mark out my account numbers that is why I had to print screen and use paint to show this. I hope that this will help many people see in real life the difference between trading blind without any kind of MM and what a difference having a system and a money management plan looks like. I have learned infinite amounts of knowledge here at FF and have been a lurker for years and hope this will help many people by just giving them the courage to continue trading after experiencing loss because you can be successful in forex and the proof is here. I look forward to any comments that you may have and realize that this is FAR FAR FAR from perfect but I am still very much learning as well. Thanks.

What is a picture going to do to help other traders learn to trade forex????

Hopefully you can increase your profit factor and smooth your equity curve to make profits more consistent as you go along; it must have been difficult on your emotions to gain 600[units of currency] over a series of good trades only to lose almost all of it just as quickly, especially with a live account! Still, a profit is a profit, and I congratulate you for having the discipline to stick with your strategy. I've only been demo trading over the past year or so but if that was my live account I would've easily gotten discouraged by the time of trade#85.

Maybe posting your results after 1 year minimum would be more useful. 3 months really is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things....

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on having made money.

But, I would also like to caution you about the pitfalls of being lucky. I'm not saying that you obtained this status through luck. However, looking at your P/L statement, I would not be too happy with that 36% drawdown.

Looking at trade 86 onwards, you have suddenly increased your profits by enormous amounts and suddenly losing all of it again in a short period of time. This probably suggests that there are some overleveraging going on.

As Talib Nassim would always say, "what is obtained by luck, can also be taken away by luck".

A 3 month statement is probably too early to call conclusions. If you survive a whole year with only a 36% drawdown, then maybe you really got it

Or if you want more solid comments, post a screenshot of your trade history. A lot can be said about the way one trades by looking at his trade history.
