Good luck Bob. Its what I have been trying to do as well. The best I've done so far is jacking an account with $287 to $5005 in 6 business days. If I could have repeated that performance for another 6 days it would have been at around $87k in a little over 2 weeks. Pretty sweet.

I've also jacked accounts with 300ish to 3000 to 3500 on a few occasions as well. It seems that I can never find that one critical trade to take it to a sizable amount. Too impatient I think. Anyway good luck.

This is exactly why I am terrible at scalping and intra day trading, rarely do it in my main account for this reason.. Back to larger TF's and my main style, will be holding trades quite long like I normally do, Still determined on 10k

Hi behman8850. You can email if you would like. Hope you have some good trade ideas . I'm looking closely for the top of usd/jpy trade right now. I think I'm going to take a stab at it at market open on Sunday and see if I can get at least a nice correction on it. IMO the overall yen strength will continue as Japan is a ticking time bomb, demographically and financially.

Anyway, sure shoot an email my way. Look forward to hearing what you have to say.

II have heard of people doing the same thing a you are doing right now. I wonder how they succeed. Being able to make a high amount of % in a short amount of time is very difficult. If you are scalping, you will feel more stress and fear during each trade.

have you ever done that before, or its the first time ??

thank you Becel. How to email you privately please? I am interested in gbp/jpy pair mostly but do trading in all other pairs also. I have 1.0 position in long geppy and 1.3 positions in short jeppy. I think it will come down another 200 pips next week.

Hi behman,

If you click on my name there is an option to send a personal email to someone. I was reviewing the charts last night and normally I don't like trading non us pairs (hate the spread), but the shorting gbp/jpy does look pretty good to me as well. My reason is that with moody's downgrading the uk and it looks like a breakout is possible to the downside for the gbp. It did puncture the bottom of the trend line and I'll wait to see if there is a gap down on Sunday open before making a decision. If there is I'll consider it a breakout and will short. My reasoning for a correction on the jpy has already been explained. Combining the 2 would see the gbp/jpy head down in a big way.

Actually scratch that. I'm going to short the jpy/usd and probably the gbp/usd. Stop losses will be tight and leverage will be as much as I can lol.

Celente. Its really not all that stressful because my risk is relatively small and I'm confident that eventually I'll hit a series of trades that will take a small amount to around a 100k or so in a month or two. Then I'll pay the taxes on it, quit my job and give trading for a living a go. I will only live once and I may as well try to achieve my dream.

What I am doing is gambling of course, but the idea is I'm gambling very little for potentially a largish amount, which is the goal of any trader imo. Even the blowouts of these accounts don't upset me (irritating though) because I've been close to that one huge trade on a few occasions and I know I'll hit eventually. Just have to sit back a little and wait for what I consider key setups.

Good luck!

New style of trading starting 2/24/13 I will pretty much be mimicking my main trading account...


First time trying a full week of scalping, which I was never good at and I am not afraid to admit not my style at all, doesn't fit my personality. Starting sunday I am going to ditch the set and forget quick scalps like I have been doing. I will pretty much mimic my main account, so you guys can see how I really trade. So the $300 well now $200 will be more of a slow steady profit instead of this up and mainly down that I have been doing with this haha.

Like I said in the first post. This is money I put to the side to keep any gambling type of emotion away from my main trading account. Its better to (possibly lose 300-500 a year)than blowing my major account. I am very disciplined in my main account, took many many hours of watching charts and paying my tuition to figure it out. I would like to be trading full time in a few months...

And I hope to deliver some good ones

I wish I can use trade explorer for my main broker but they aren't supported. I put a request in and they said maybe in the future they would like to add my broker. So this is the only way I can show you guys what I am trading etc..
