Future Hedge Fund Manager's Journey

Hi guys,

Been trading on and off for about 5 years due to school commitments. Never been serious throughout. Now that I've graduated, thinking of actually trading with discipline and solely for the pursuit of profit in mind. Started off on the 12th Jan 2016 with $3000 deposit. Will be posting account performance etc. Hope to earn your support!

Cheers

Gonna post my first month's performance from 12th Jan 16 to 31st Jan 16:

You seem like you know what you're doing - keep us posted, it looks very good.

Performance for this month so far:

Got overconfident. Got heavily burnt... Learnt very important lessons. Refocused, caught the AUD/USD short all the way from 72XX to week close 70XX.

How much did you lose on the long trades there in %? (Only asking because you are already showing numbers, I hope this is not too intrusive).

I lost around 1k... 900+ I think.

So about 30% of your initial deposit? That must hurt, but I think all older accounts bear these scars. It is better to make these mistakes early on so you can learn from it. I even think it is necessary to try out the reckless stuff on small amounts. Better than making such mistakes with 10x the money.

You're right. I learnt an important lesson there. I was lucky to have spotted another opportunity right after.

Update on today's performance. Went short GU on technicals. Not a bad trade.

Its been a while since I've posted but am currently stuck in a trade. Should be soon...
