Do you trade for an income or for a compound effect?

Yeah, right buddy!
There is no harm in taking a break from forex trading and focusing on other things to release trade related stress.

 

What do you do to release your trading stress?

 

To release stress, I prefer listening to calm music.

 

I meditate and do yoga daily and apart from this, I spend time with my loved ones.

That's pretty nice mate! Thanks for replying.

 

Bankroll withdrawal management is a very important aspect for traders because %return or maxDD do not mean much if you do not bring home the $$.
Compounding all your profits is too idealistic for trading.
Question is what is the optimal withdrawal% of profits should be done when account balance increases by what% ?
Is there an online calculator or App that lets you input that two variables% with initial capital input, and then displays final amount after X no. of withdrawals?
None of the online compound calculators have withdrawal% Maybe a spreadsheet?

 

I trade for a compounding effect and I add more money to the trading accounts to accelerate the process. I have other businesses that pay the bills. However, my strategy has a capacity constraint and I believe at some point (years from now) I will have to withdraw money more frequently to avoid exceeding the strategy's capacity ie encountering liquidity problems.

 

Once your edge is repeatable, only withdraw for bare necessities. Everything goes into compounding for greatest growth

 

Someone suggested to withdraw ytd absolute maxDD amount every quarter regardless of profitable quarter or not.

 

Reason behind this is because of sortino ratio.
