Aloha mate, and really welldone on your trades today. 
I see you made loads of great profits, and did take losses at the actually needed times, and then dudnt let that throw you at all thoug as you came back and made loads more cash from even better entry levels. 
*Extremely good considering how wild and mad today was.
How much capital you trading with mate??
And you doing this for a living??
Im just really really glad if even just a tiny bit of what i post here to try help peope does actually help them...
Hello mate,
hope you had a good day... OK, this is the thing. Started trading full time on monday with only 650GBP. I am a licensed Taxi driver in London but havent worked for 3 weeks now.
The first two weeks I was testing trading, but on Monday I started for real with only 650gbp, I am cautions kind of guy.
Anyway, I ve been following this thread from the very beggining and you guys were the last touch of ijnspiration I needed to take the plunge and I now it s way too early to be happy about it, but I m happy i finnaly started. You ve got to speculate to acumulate. ist that so??
anyway, today it was a funny day and i was at one point holding a loss of 450gbp, but I hanged in there and now I have just closed all my previous open positions netting a nice profit for the day.
My cash balance now is 1361 gbp.
and i still have one position open, gold future for the 29 jan, long at 825. I think gold will go to 850 not before long.
anyway, these were all my trades for the day (today I didnt have a single losing trade). I know this is not the norm and I can take the losses as they come.
If all goes pear shapped I still have my reliable taxi to fall back on.
anyway, these were my trades:
