Cool thread! So what do you do when you are not trading, except going out for ice cream?
and sometimes this...
and right now..while waiting for trades..a little bit of this!

Noticed something weird about myfxbook lately. Their calculation for gain/loss for my account is not accurate at all.
this is what is showing from my broker for the month: +$22, 400 (hell yea bitch)
this is myfxbook month pnl, you see that even within the same month for table vs chart the numbers are off, $7000 vs $17000 (wtf myfxbook...)
and this is from FF TE, it's closer to my broker's numbers
but the raw net pnl from inception is accurate. so i wouldn't trust myfxbook that much when it comes to detailed performance. I would suggest everyone to just look at pnl from account inception if you're using myfxbook. for my account it's $91,000
Again, only reason i'm using myfxbook vs TE is because i have the option to hide my trades in myfxbook (just cause i'm paranoid about others trading against/with me). TE won't let you hide open trades or trade history. pretty stupid if you ask me..

Week 2 of 2017
-$40,000
what is up with me..i feel like there is some psychological barrier right near the 100k mark. I feel like when i get near it, it seems like i retract hard. the market sure doesn't care what equity i'm at, so i'm pretty sure it's internal issue.
ugh, this is pissing me off. I need to focus!
damn..
on the bright side...i got $700 rebate from broker...yay. maybe i'll treat myself to a happy meal

You focussing to much on your goal just trade. When focussing to much on your goal you get setbacks do stupid things atleast i had that. When you don´t bother about the money it comes easier.

picture worth a thousand words. this pretty much sums up my view of every day when facing the market. it's a fucking mess sometimes and you just hope you that your ass don't get burned to get to the other side...
