Something goes wrong. Maybe I should do only 1 trade a day. Maybe my methods are good only for some market situations. There was a moment when I was 33% on plus, now I am barely 10%. Hope within the 300 days I will at least be on BE. If I will - it will mean I am already good ;-)

Profit today but still need to think what goes wrong too often recently. I can see my risk:reward ratio is not too good, I set it as 2:3 but more often it is 2:1.
I did 7% of my planned journey, we'll see how it goes further ;-)

That's it for trading with mobile. From now on I trade only from behind my desk. When I was trading from home/behind desk only I was doing well and achieved over 30% profit in less than month. When started trading with mobile there was loss after loss. So the mobile app got deleted ;-) Hopefully it will get better now.

Worst trading day so far. Profitable, but profit due to overleveraging, overtrading, raising leverage to its maximum and trading with no sl. I just broke today due to another fail and just overleveraged to jump over to larger general profit. I feel silly when my balance goes down and down.

Stupidity as I broke my rules agsin just to get big profits. Been in the trade for approx 24hrs. With small account you need to risk morr to eventually grow (or fail)

​Over-leveraging is like double edge sword.
I got over 15% today but could lose 15% due to s/l. And 15% loss seems a lot. Bad emotions are triggered. I will fail more than once during the 300 days, I just did 10% of the journey. Over 100% profit means for me that even if I get margin call once I will come back to point of entry.
Who knows what will happen over the 300 days ;-) - I may pay my mortgage off, or I will kill the account (more likely ;-))

You're my inspiration. I remember I read that on the beginning of your journey you were risking more just to gain quick ;-).
I'll try not to screw it but one never knows ;-)

Huge loss. Recent few days of success triggered overconfidence and lead to mistakes. At the moment after 2 months of running the diary I have "only" 17% profit, where 24hrs ago it was about 250%.
Need to change something ;-)
Recently I was overleveraging as I wanted to grow my account to size that will allow me to trade with normal profits.

I am quitting forex. Same mistakes over and over again. Greed, stupidity etc. Its easy to advice others, but hard to obey the rules. Sorry Kostas to dissapoint you .
Tafa I wish you all the best pal.
Time for me to focus on rat race, do some courses, get promoted etc.
