Week 4 of 2017
-$8100
as market goes sideways, so does my account. only difference is my equity looks like a mental patient is trading it. For the month im down -$600, so given the volume that i trade, i could pull a profitable month, if i don't fuck up completely next week. but probably will...

I am going to start a temporary TE to track my discipline from Jan 30-Mar 3. I need to pin point bad behaviors and tackle it right away. It's not fun to make lots of money, and lose most of it, and remain stagnant.
So the TE is meant to observe equity outliers and using this thread for accountability purposes and to bring my trading back into norm as soon as possible.
lets see if this approcah will help me break out of this sideways equity range i've been experiencing

{quote} Hey man! Just checked your TE. I tried to PM you but I guess it is restricted. There are a couple of things I'd like to discuss and share with you if you are willing to hear of course. I notice some of my mistakes in it I used to do- still do time to time tbh. I'd remove the TE if I were you since it is putting extra pressure on you - it did with my case - since you try to make a point with your entry exit levels and how you run your account. You are trading your own money and you certainly dont need to prove anyone anything however when...
i've gotten my original deposit + about 20k profits banked. So i'm ok with whatever...
If you think this is horrendous drawdown.. my friend, you haven't seen anything yet. I've personally experience 70-80% and came back before. we'll see if it's true this time

this is why my broker loves me
+1 million dollars move in and out of my fucking account..
+$1,000,000 USD!
FUCK!
i feel like a market maker, just getting a slice of this volume...
if only i can skew this more towards the positive side...
trading is exhausting..

If your spread is say 1.2 pip for GBP and 1 pip for EURUSD with your broker, they made a little over 60K USD from your account just for your executions. Of course they love you man, 1000 clients like you and they get 60 Mil USD every year without holding a gun to anyone.

took some of the rebate from broker and just went to eat out
some thoughts on my trading performance.
there's definitely a nice recovery that took place early Feb. account went from 30k to now at around 70k
i think i still can get it to 100k this month if i don't screw up badly. my goal is to is to get around 300k this year. Then i will probably limit my account size and just withdraw all profits. but for now, it's still dd recovery mode.

got my feb rebate..measly around $450 bucks after fee
i'm thinking of picking this up for my trips i planned this year. very expensive..but seems it has good ratings..
https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Acoustic-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B00X9KV0HU
my March rebate currently stands at about the same, i need my trade to close quick so i can start churning trades in for the rest of this month to get at least +$1000
right now that's where my trading income is coming from..rebates..otherwise i aint' making shit in trading..

i had to revisit this again, such a beautiful car. coming this May. Time will tell if I am just going to lease or just buy it end of this year. Either way, I WANT this oh so badly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0HT03kyO54
And until then, i've decided to drive a temporary car. if you remember here (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=9246416#post9246416), i've been using shared ride (uber,lyft) for a while since everything i need is within 10 minutes of my house. however, i just have the itch to get on board with having my own car just to feel good. this is defintitely not a NEED, but rather a fulfillment of repressed desire
so i came across a lease takeover site online. it allows you to take over people's leases without putting down thousands of $$ and other fees like regular leasing and traditional buying. what i love about this also is you don't need to commit to the 3 years like regular leasing. most of these leases are 1.5 years or less. so you can just enjoy new car almost every year. Most of them seem to be benz, beamers, or lexus, but there are few exotic ones i saw liek maseratis and the F type jag.
So ill make a cool video this week to show which car i picked...any guess??
