ooooooof. Saw what I thought was a great opportunity to sell euro and got stopped hitting $3k max weekly loss. Just applied for my first $100 reset.

Ouch...that hurts. Especially since there was a nice move up on CL after the report.

yeah aggh. I have to admit my psychology changes when there is no money on the line. For example in my live accounts I took a small loser today then stopped for the day. In the combine I went in again guns blazing, got stopped by a couple of ticks, now looks like my original target is going to be hit which would have seen me hit the profit objective. classic over leveraging.

I am allowing myself 2 resets in this challenge to take a decent cheque from TST, so this is the first. lets see. If I fail then the naysayers are right it's not possible lol.

A common situation, for people who've just come back from holiday, with redundant Euros, I suppose? A crappy currency and certainly not one you'd want to hang on to unnecessarily?

Wishing you good luck (and maybe smaller position-sizes??) with the reset! :)
 
combine update. half of target done today. GL.

combine update. Down to $1772 profit. Back on it next week. trailing drawdown means I cannot go below $150k start balance so only have $1772 of draw left. need to play with a straight bat now. GW

intraday vol consolidation patterns are hard, its like water torture. I miss the volatility. I mainly look for high probability setups. Its better use of your time to go do something else when markets transactional speed is minimal. Unless you filter to look for where action is.
