{quote} These are the possible loser days. So, what? Do you mind if - as to say - have four days with 300 wins and one day with 500 loss? What's the problem having 700 plus then earlier week? Isn't so simple?
Yup, it is simple.
IMO, it is impossible to lose more than win, because one concept "Short at high, long at low". Averaging down is only done where the position is lose at the moment and at high area. And i don't talk more about where to take the entry, as this is trader, their definition, oneself could draw trendline at this way, and another one trader could draw at this way, it is not really important. Because if market changes its pattern, so restart again. Importantly, oneself must discipline the rule.

May i know if you are trading manually or semi-auto with EA?
Thanks.

{quote} Yes, your results proved it. Unfortunately there are so much conventional wisdom being "taught" in this forum that when people see your results they will question you first based on popular forum wisdom, rather than see it in merits of a working highly profitable way of trading. Great job! Think about it this way ..... if those conventional wisdom works, we won't be here learning from you.

You are right! This is why i am here.
By the way, i am just new to this thread, so i am not actually got to check his trading result in trade explorer. So that's why i am asking some question to verify my understanding.
Thanks.

Bull, I'd prefer be more careful, cause I've learned, losing tons of money, that nothing is impossible in this business.
What I'm trying is catching an edge and keep it hardly on my side

toatlly, totally, agreed
discipline is really one of the most important things here
and is what I'd lost for many times ago
now is better, but ever, ever, concerned about it
I remember when I was young and going fishing waiting hours and hours just for one only fish..........

Great! Sure you have perfect plan.

Because you won't know when the fish is coming to you. And if you catch the fish ,maybe the fish is a fat fish, or maybe is not a fish. Haha....

Woh, manually! So you trade manually those multiple pairs at the same time with clicking of mouse instantly and frequently? I can't believe this.

No lies here.

In any case, my Avg Trade Duration is 44 minutes; not so frenetic scalping

{quote} Maybe you should set a time for when we can ask you questions. The distraction of having to read every post and answer every question while trying to focus on your trading is just not right.
yes, thank you

trading and writing here at the same time is not as simple

so, when you see the explorer on line it means I've finished for that day

in any case, feel free to pm me

thanks for your patience and contribution

Geo, you have done an excellent job in just 20 days !!!

Take some days off and think about your black monday and what you did wrong or well. Then start fresh maybe next week ?

Don't let a black monday turn in a black week.
Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.

Hey Broke,

perfectly right!

Btw all losses already recovered plus today's gain.

Then it's all right.

Warm humid summer here (35 °C degrees) does not help at all

Thank you very much.

The best for your trading.

It doesn't necessarily mean you did anything wrong because you had a bad day. You may have taken your edges perfectly but this was the time it didn't work out. If I get it allin with AA and my opponent had KK, but he sucked out a K on river and beats me, does it mean I played my hand wrong? Of course not. I play that edge all day long. Sorry for the poker analogy, but poker was my first risk taking passion.

Totally agreed Smokey.

Bad days happen. Period.

Let's take a look at this business in the long run.

Bro, go to the beach or river, with that hot! Having trades underwater is normal, your skills to recover have to be on top, as you were at some point (and still you are), write down your mistake and just relax and enjoy for now!
