    Successful Trading and Compounding

    Above cont. 4. Another important point to note is that I have traded ES mostly when my account equity has been >3.5k/4k. On most occasions, when I have traded ES, it has contributed to fast losses of money which means I have come back and fallen in the range of 2-3.5k equity. While trying...

    you know what mate - i am exactly at the same point in my trading career. trying to grow a small account into a larger one, while not adding a cent to it. Rather I have decided that I will be withdrawing every 1-3 months or so a bit of it, so that i don't blow up what i make. Remaining at a...
