Joining the CME gang

Great results, @hilmy83. It seems like you had approximately a 190 % gain on your capital this month.

Did you take on a lot of open risk to achieve this or did your trading simply improve tremendously?

I don't mean to sound critical, but I do remember that day where you lost approximately 80 % of your account in a single day. And that can pretty much only happen if you're trading with very high leverage.

Regardless, good luck moving forward. :)

You may find some hint about his trading style from here: https://www.forexfactory.com/hilmy83#acct.18
He's quite aggressive trader, and I think he knows what he's doing.

i'd like to think i improved. but yea i'm pretty aggresive, maybe too much. But this is why i'm actually putting few proifts into passive income like dividends. this is the first time i'm thinking of having a plan b just in case i screw up again.

Thanks.

Would you mind sharing how much you typically risk per any given trade?

Friday is for example a day where one could have made a windfall profit holding a huge amount of long contracts through considerable heat, but could have easily led to a margin call if it went the other way.

I'm just trying to understand if the way you're still trading is a way of trading where it's still possible to actually blow your account.

A clever trader once said that smaller accounts seek volatility; larger accounts seek stability. You have a pretty decent account now. Maybe it would make sense to reduce risk a bit and avoid pressing too much. Would hate to see you take a big hit again and give back your gains.

Anyway, good luck moving forward! :)

You have created a great profitable strategy here that is highly affordable to all traders. Would you consider posting the full details of your strategy including the rules you use in the Community? I am sure the members will appreciate it very much.
 
right now i'm not sharing anything cause i seriously want to learn every aspect of my strategy without having people put doubts in my head about how it should work with their comments. But you can get a glimpse of what it is just reading the thread. I won't deny or confirm anything though..

once i get like 3 years under me with this strategy without blowups, then i might disclose it. by then you have data to back it up.

or maybe i'll just sell it for a few mil.
 
I think I might crack six figures this week. Everything has to work out perfectly though. We'll see. Since it's a milestone, I'll post daily pnl this week; first platform screen and later with statement, for each trading day
