this is my account from Feb 24 to today...a little under a month of trading...doubled and getting very close to tripling it. I do have some "bumps/dips" in the equity from a few bad calls.... but overall its a decent curve. Position sizing was a little on the risky side but i find that having small accounts lowers the level of emotional stress whereas having one large account can be stressful when holding onto larger positions.

.... how much leverage in the trades are you using? How much draw down? how many pips are you aiming for? how many trades per day have you been taking?
Believe your right, till proven wrong. Doubt is the greatest enemy.
{quote} excellent stuff northshore, going to blast you with a few questions
how much leverage in the trades are you using?
• 50:1 leverage...cant do more than that in the US
How much draw down?
• varies, usually less than 15%
how many pips are you aiming for?
• varies, usually works out to somewhere between 50 to 80pips per trade.
there's the occasional b/e and small losses in there as well
how many trades per day have you been taking?
• usually 1... sometimes 2 or 3...depends on conditions

Hey Saoldric - I beleive I mis-read your question as I was referring to entries. So answer should have read:
• Usually 1...sometimes 2 or 3 entries to build a full trade position.
And how many trade positions per day?
• Usually only 1 trade position per day or 1 every 2 days. I occasionally get to build a second position in the same day if the market re-aligns a second time.
cheers
