I doubled my account in the last 48 hours. I blew up my account twice before, not this time baby.. Not this time. :O) There was an equal move in the aud/jpy and an impressive move in the cad/jpy as well.
No offense, but this smells of "luck and circumstance" more than it does of you getting it right this time.
I completely agree. I'd rather be lucky than good. We all create our own luck. Luck had a great deal to do with it, as, I could have never anticipated such great vol. However, it happened and I REACTED to it. At least I was smart enough to trade all Yen pairs... Even blind squirrels find nuts every now than then. And btw, no offense taken. You're an asset to this board, I've learned a lot from you. Any suggestions from you are taken as constructive, well-deserved criticism.
LOL I might have a couple bad trades, who knows. I know my asset management is good enough to never get blown up again. That is THE GREATEST lesson in trading. It only took my dumb@$$ two times to learn it.
That could be a record. Go look at the thread with Livermores' chap 8 and 9./ He made 4 fortunes, blew 4, and then his brains out.
I'll definitely check it out. The accounts I blew up were far from a 'fortune.' I think the biggest difference is my mindset this time. I am not grandiose--I don't have an unrealistic expectation. I'm self confident--I have a clear understanding that as long as I try my best I have a really good chance of being successful. Thanks again for the suggestion, I'm on it.
