more equity > less % > less risk > more happiness > less work to do > more

Hi,geomink, What's the performance on this Tuesday and Wendesday? Would you please post a screenshot of the whole performance of your account?
Hey Bobo,

I use this small account just testing my trading to apply to others major accounts.

Tuesday and Wendesday was testing days.

From yesterday if you're interested you can follow my ultimate definitely operativity

Unfortunately OANDA is currently limiting transaction history to the past 30 days

So stay tuned and let we see what I'll be able to manage from august 8 2013

Any comment will be appreciate.

Ciao

Hi there,

Thanks for posting your results and sharing them with FF community. May I ask why you take such large risks? At one point in the day you were down a realized loss of -13.8% and you were continuing to add fresh longs (that you later closed for profit). One of those fresh longs was on large size compared to the other entries in which you were risking around 1% of your account for each 4 pips of movement. There was enormous potential for a much larger loss on the day than I already mentioned. While you are trading a real account, I can only think you may take such large risk because:

- you are trading a tiny tiny account where the loss is tiny in terms of real $ so you are willing to take obscene drawdowns as a percent of account in the gamble for obscene returns as a percent of account if you get lucky
- you are so rich outside of trading that all trading capital is disposable income use it as a way to get daily excitement
- you don't know what risk management is

With risk management like this, your odds of staying alive long term are minimal. I get the feeling that isn't your goal though. Seems more like you want try and make it big big big (in percent terms of your account) for some sort of other agenda such as ego, trading services down the road marketing, or whatever.

With kind regards,
MK

Hi Mid,

I trade for living from over 10 years and I think the only really important thing in this business is being profitable every month.

I don't wanna sell anything

I don't wanna trade third part accounts

I don't wanna work in the financial industry

I don't wanna be contacted for jobs opportunities, for business or other.

The only thing I wanna do is trade for me and my family.

The best.

Geo

{quote} edit: lowered max leverage per trade to 2,5:1
What does that mean? Usually when we open account the broker gave us 100:1 or 200:1. How do you limit each trade to 2.5:1?

If I have $1000 balance, and 200:1 leverage. How many micro-lots do I open a Buy order if limited to 2.5:1 leverage and how large is the stop loss in pips?
