expectation for the short target in indexes which is drop around 20 pc from current levels is a bit too optimistic for timeframe I am looking for.

Yesterday quick 100 pts drop in SPI took profits and credited them to risk capital for next short entry.

market is weak because let me made some quick and easy profits.

Will reenter but with more modest distances.

What number of trade are you on? What is the bottom line at this point?

in cash terms i am up around 50%. Total 5 trades. This count is a bit subjective as have 2 other systems using different timeframe. So, behind the schedule :-(

My hit rate remains pretty good as in initial tests but have several trades where miss the entry as orders too far. In preparation to this system did not get misses or trades with +1 risk etc. Had 1 full loss so far and another one with -0.2 risk.

Also find it hard to increase size so slippage there as well.

Working on entries more aggressive and adding after initial positive feedback. Also, miss to capitalize more on last market fall due to my schedule beeing hectic.

However, confidence in system is solid and building up and preparing scenarios to bring up bet size to economical level. 2 winning outsized trades will do.

find it funny when people from usually health organization on street asking for money, like you are rich help x and y.....

Or even begger. He has no debt.

The asking line translated: hey you , give me some money, you are rich, you have access to credit cards & line of credit.

And skip the bit : add up all your assets & liabilities as you may find out net worth is less than a begger one.

beggars are hipocrites !

Back in the 90s when Donald Trump was having money problems and looking to go bankrupt (I believe he owed 20 billion dollars or so to banks) He was walking with his young daughter and they saw a homeless man begging for change. Donald pointed him out to his daughter and said "See that man? He's worth more money than me"

She was young and didnt understand until years later though what he meant.
