Need somewhere to think out loud,
- Thread starter Turveyd
- Start date
Profit, took it too early surprise surprise, exit 90.08 cause I'm a WUSS!!!
+$85
only in 1/2 position sadly!
+$331 on the day.
Want to play on, but only going to make my eye strain worse, hmmmm and like sleeping on profits
1.2313 seen dratts that's another $200 area, got to improve this.
Since last account low 9th Jan I've made 21 positions no real losers ( maybe tad under with comms on a few ?? ) total profit $936.50, which is 43.6% account growth
On to something, or about to take a major hit ?? find out soon LOL

The Cylce is about to repeat..........
After a huge run of winners ( could of sworn I lost $300 and pulled it all back recently, must of been the 9th ), either over confident or unwilling to take a loss, dig in and take a huge loss or 10.
I've got protection from too huge a loss, being my Margin level LOL
Must recalc lot sizes to allow for larger account and pull that to 8% in reserve, although won't save me if only 1/2 in so hmmm.
Still need to work on exiting when the trend turns against me and flipping sides, I had back up plans today a previous S/R level which I was using so risk was kept acceptable, small losses when it could of been a profit, also kill you.
Find out tomorrow, if I've moved past, or soon!

Risk side tweak, MAE 14 0.03 from 0.04, earlier indication of trade going the wrong way, hopefully in time enough to limit loss and flip the other way.
I need to get better at joining the 6sma's direction.
My profits are increasing cause I'm holding long, although still not long enough, but keep working on that.
Yes I'm aiming for perfection, okay 80%, likely trading 65-70% efficent here, so not far off good enough.
