100 $ risk per trade.

1 or so trade per day. Trying to get balance to 2k. Experiment ends if I lose all of it = 1k.

trade 1

sell eurusd 1.2950, stop 1.2960. Exit $+27.

New balance 1027, new bet size 103.

never was 10 risks down from top. have brakes after 3 risk down from top.

longer term one started friday averaging in as it moves my direction.
Loaded around 0.3 risk so far. EUAD sell on multiweek trendline break.

i booked modest coin on this one. AUD is strong and will reach new highs. Chinese like us :-) Sooo much space.. You can grow big body.

looking for partity++ against eur.

my trades along above ideas. I am sick playing really short time. too much time wasted for too litle to show.

another trade buying on monday, got in at low in risk assets. not big distance but still managed to push swing account up 12%. Exit not bad.

June turned nicely, up total 20% with 2 trades. Have feel my system will spring to life in second half. First one was more about avoiding losses.

btw, eur scalping down $231

YTD 22%, next 2 swing trades will increase size for 65%. See if it can sustain itself. Exciting stuff !
