    I forgot to check in before expiry, but this trade did unfold as anticipated...

    Here's another test trade for a slightly better payout...

    Almost $20 instead of just ten.

    I once again forgot to check in before expiry, but this trade also unfolded as anticipated...

    However, I made almost $20 trading my OANDA account. Add that to the payout from my Forex.com account and that's over $30. This was without having to risk $80 to $90 as was the case with these NADEX contracts. Plus, now that I've probably finalized the protocol for the DOTTAB style of trading Numerical Price Prediction, I'm likely to be more aggressive next week and return to 0.02-sized lots, which would mean a daily return of more like $60.

    So, why bother with NADEX? It wouldn't make sense.

    No... I'm sticking with OANDA and Forex.com. With the configuration I'm now using, trading via these more traditional brokers will enable me to compound my returns and grow my trading accounts exponentially soon enough. A little bit of patience isn't going to hurt me at all.

    This seems a bit unusual... an opportunity to see a payout of $22 after waiting just four hours instead of having to wait more like sixteen:

    If this contract is still in-the-money an hour from now...

    ...you will have made almost four times as much from this one trade ($22.75) as the six bucks generated from the nine positions you opened via OANDA...

    This is at least the sixth straight successful NPP Dot-Tab Strategy trade in a row...

    If I make it to ten, and if at least 30% of these contracts offer a payout of between $20 to $40, I might feel so bold as to deposit a hundred bucks in my live Nadex account next week and try capitalizing on this version of NPP for real.

    This will be a successful trade with a payout of $21.75 if nothing goes wrong in the next twenty minutes.

    This is an aggressive and significantly risky trade, because its direction is contrary to the trajectory of the intraday trend, being based entirely on market structure and using the five-minute chart configuration this time instead of the 60-minute setup (because I wanted to test it out and I'm being too impatient to wait for a PROPER entry, which I missed 4½ hours ago). So, I am very curious to see whether it will extend or break the seven-day winning streak.

    (P.S. You should never trade against the trend, So I should have purchased a call contract back when AUDUSD was down at 0.7740.)

    I've decided to go ahead and begin trading real cash, and this trade is far enough in-the-money for me to be willing to wait the next four-and-a-half hours until expiry in the hope of receiving the full $34.50 payout...
