5 pip candles: on hold
opens: trading NY open, taking small TP like 50-100 pips cause scared of big amounts

as for stats, I don't hold any stats since I also trade some news, the account is constantly growing

Tony how much did you start out with?

It's was a thousand dollars and then I added an additional 2.5k$ I believe and grew it into almost half a million now.

I remember my first ever deposit was 250$ on a 1:300 leverage (huge for me) and I made 3000$ in 1 night that night I was stunned as a beginner.

lost everything the day after... good old days... seem so far away

Tony, how does "health insurance for traders" looks in Canada? Do you in Canada have something like social insurace or you need to buy some?

Not only trading system is important but this kind of stuff too

And second question, do you guys with big accounts use some kind of technical protection? Additional internet source or some additional batteires in case of electricity problems?

It's interesting how other traders deals with this kind of problems.

I use laptop, so lack of electricity is not a problem, and have additional wireless 3G modem in case of problems with wi-fi.

Hello Lukaszmiami

I also use a Notebook, and also I have a VPS server available, exclusively for traders. I leave my accounts within the server. The VPS that I use is the CNS.
If I run out of energy, or drop my internet, the VPS server keeps my orders of TS, EAs working.
Invest in creating their EAs, because one day you need one!

Tony, thank you for your answer. So I assume first direction is the first 5second candle(08:00:05). According to this, today's N.Y. open was a 2pip loss. Just want to make sure I understand it correctly. Thanks.

I pay additional health insurance through a broker for better coverage. For Quebec residents, we have insurance through the government wich is very wide. Mostly used by unemployed people. Doctor visits are always payed by it regardless of if you work or not. Knock on wood, I hope I don't use that, nor my family.

As for back up in case of computer or internet failure I have nothing but my android phone and laptop connected to the satellites. I never had to use that as a ''rescue measure'' My Stop-loss is automatically installed whenever I place a trade... both come always together. Biggest SL : 4 pips... go ahead internet, interrupt! It just gives me more suspense
