My trading is nothing to do with predictions. Have I done something to upset you?

I don't believe there is any upside left in property, a crash is due imminently and prices won't recover. But I take your point however.

A bigger potential threat to Trump Capital LLC as a going concern than the recent streak of losses is that in an unguarded moment I alerted my misses to the existence of my funds, and she has had a great new idea for an extension to our house. Watch this space.

We'll it's been a horrendous month for Trump Capital LLC. Ten successive losses and this time there are no mitigating circumstances such as missed trades or fat finger trades. It's looking pretty bleak, and I did think about quitting, then decided against it. I will persevere for a while longer...

Unrelated to the trades thus far, I have some money in Bitcoin. Thinking about whether it's time to cash in or go for the home run. I am surprised OANDA don't offer a Bitcoin CFD.

Worth mentioning this trade in the Europe 50. I saw it, thought it looked gross (but how do I define "gross" mathematically), however it met the criteria so I took it and got stopped out same day. Will keep charts like this in a folder named "Gross" in the spirit of "what gets measured gets...

I suspect this journal would actually be very successful if the trades weren't being taken by a complete muppet. Six trades, five losses, one nice win in the Bund for a £50 profit for the month and overall profit of £593. Realised P&L in the Oanda platform does not take into account financing...

Have these trades saved in a folder in KeepNote named "catching a falling knife". Not doing that again. They also could have been kept in a folder named "highly correlated trades". Who knew the Nikkei and the EUR/JPY move in the same direction.

The gold trade. Makes me smile thinking that shortly after I opened this trade I accidentally read an article on how hedge funds are dumping gold. A few years ago I probably would have closed my position on reading that.

Since my last post I have taken 11 trades with 8 losses and three wins. Thanks to a big well timed swing in Gold my account is now showing a small profit, but more importantly I have learned some important lessons and gained some valuable experience. On the subject of learning and experience...

Natural Gas hit its target. I am not going to post every trade anymore. I am not looking for feedback on the fundamentals of my strategy, that is a given as far as I am concerned, it's the bigger picture I am interested in so will post occasional updates.

With all due respect MrScalper I have addressed your point regarding sticking to one market multiple times now. Am sure you are a very successful trader however I cannot change my strategy based on the advice of a random person on a message board. In all likelihood you are correct but I will...

Pending Orders JAPAN 225 | D1 | S SILVER | D1 | L Open Trades GERMANY 30 | D1 | L I know I said I would have only one concurrent open trade in each market category, I meant one open trade in each direction in each market category.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! I am my own worst enemy, I am so urinated off. Had to sit myself down for a serious chat. I was almost too embarrassed to post this. Entered that HK33 order in wrong hence the confusion around position sizing (which should have set alarms ringing). This morning when...

Haven’t yet decided if I will posting every trade event, or post a summary weekly or monthly. For now am going to post everything. HONG KONG 33 long entered. Position size is 1.7% rather than 1% due to position sizing constraints. In all honesty I could have put a .85% position on, decided to...

Unfortunately is doesn't look like this feature is present.

Natural Gas stopped out. Four losses on the spin, never had that in paper trading. A statistical anomaly, surely :). In matters of an 'operational control' nature, I missed the attached trade in EUR/USD which will no doubt hit it's projected target just because I am not in it. The failure has...
