Hi, Puddles,
Thank you very much for putting up your trading log everyday. I probably should follow your thread last year.
So this month, your win rate is 48%, not bad at all if you can manage to get winning: losing = 2:1 (or close to that with slippage). Do you get that this month?
So basically, if I understand correctly, last year, your win rate was 44% and you managed 40% return? That's remarkable.

Correct, I aim for 2:1 on all trades, with slippage that doesn't always work out. Today my losing trades got smashed with slippage. 3 of my losing trades had an actual r:r of 1.2:1 or worse.
For the month of february my actual R:R is closer to 1.7:1.
