Update for this week.
Equity = 632 AUD.
Completely stopped intraday trading. Seems to be a little bit better. Currently I am trading at 0.01 lot. I will increase to 0.02 lot next week.
Hi Loooppy99,
Do you mind to share what the logic behind the indicator is? It doesn't look like a conventional MA and it looks good on the chart.
Does it repaint?
I had to combine back the two accounts because I lost a substantial amount in the intraday account. I lost more than AUD70 on scalping the indices. I realised that intraday trading is not for me and I am back to swing trading.
My equity now is AUD 606.
I have a friend who actually made money by cutting the winners and letting the losers fly.
However, I am not sure how long it will last until he go bust.
His win rate is very high.
I believe there are no specific rules to making money from the market. If it is making money, it works. There...

My current account's equity is AUD 683 , increased from AUD 654 last week.

What I meant was when your wife is not a trader, she could not handle the fluctuations of your profits/losses. When you report to her, she would be stressed up.
Reporting to her is not a good idea in my opinion.

Hi J_Smith,
I am sorry but I have to trade to make some money for my living. I am fully responsible for my actions and I am willing to accept the consequences. Anyway, thank you for being generous and willing to teach me (sincerely).
