    Bashing the Demo well, I hope I trade better with real $$$'s at stake, hard to care when it's demo.

    35 positions, 16 profitable, so 19 not, I know I was lazy on 4 positions and let the go from profit to loss, which I likely won't do Live $$$'s so still 50/50 area on the win rate.

    Saved, by some good 30pt winners thankfully.


    Not there yet, 1 more day demo :( Sucks and Delay E2T 1 day aswell.

    Still demo, mainly cause didn't sleep well at all, try to only take better setups, try to ask myself, is this a good position to buy risk to reward and profit % chance, before each trade.

    3pm news then all clear, got to damn well settle on my setup aswell, just never happy.

    Current thinking.

    Envelope 24lwma 0.02% Longer term direction.

    Envelopes 4lwma H+0.01% and L-0.01% immediate direction.

    Envelopes 8lwma H+0.02% and L-0.02% medium term direction / range.

    Just be Zen like and go along with the flow is the logic.

    Serious trading time!!

    Trade 1 profit, amazing, +$200 sadly Demo bucks!! :)

    It's starting to talk to me again, ie I know what it's going to do before it does it :)

    So E2T soon, then use that as a Demo with a kick to it, MNQ 2 contracts max 4 so $8 per pt for starters, then build in some live own account trades soon after :)

    Earn2Trade Click $25k for $90 easy peasy so far on the setup :)

    Ninja Code, much easier and than LeeLoo okay cheating but took hours to get that setup.

    35mins to setup, Ninja I'd removed had remembered a lot of my settings, Ninja Code freely available with Chart Trading.

    Better make a few small trades, get my first 1 day of 15 to qualify, MNQ don't think I can trade Full NQ with a $550 daily loss I lose account and wasted $90 wait till next month.

    Time to start trading professional!!! :)

    Kick up the ass I need maybe!!! I can trade NQ in the am aswell, can't with real account spread is too big or late at night when it reopens :)


    Lets DO THIS!!

    ISSUE ARSEEEE NEVER EASY FFS!!!

    Sitting at -$22 on the day - Commisions, account showing -$90, 10 MNQ contracts traded, $6.84 commisions in and out WTF??

    Made a good trade and account down not up, confused, emailed them!!

    Rough start, forgot MNQ is $2 per pt, hence the off.

    There Comms are set at $4.44 unless you ask for proper comm's, why they do that ?? guess makes it harder to pass, should be $1.78 round trip so 1pt to cover costs and spread.

    17 x $4.44 = $75.48 in Comms ouch! should be $30.26 so $45.22 saved as of tomorrow.

    -$137 here, so with the saving be -$92, which is fine for day 1.

    missed a lot of good trades trying to work out what's going on, also about a 1min delay before the dashboard updates, which confused me some what.

    My Demo account is +$160 as I traded a bit before setting up.


    Not so depressed as it feels like I have a plan and zero woman to annoy me, keeping it that way :) Booking a road trip with lads to Amsterdam in a few weeks, get some ladies :)

    Nice :)

    Avg 12064 4 contracts $8 per pt, closed 12080 +16pts * $8 = +$128 - $17.76 +$111 profit, nice :) +$121 when markets re open :)

    Downgraded 24 to Dot's, it's advisory it's not gospel, joining the 4 and 8 lwma direction is fine a lot of the time with a tight SL, the 24 is good for trading with over all from a cluster, take cluster with 24's direction 70% chance it'll go your way, compared to 30% ofcourse.

    Confidence is HIGH :)

    E2T recalc the commision, so don't worry to much, 1st day profitable!!

    Don't think I'll ever trade full on NQ, MNQ 3 positions of 3 contracts so $18 per pt is likely as much as I'll risk with a tight SL with a max $550 daily drawdown, although they will remove when I'm +$1500 in the account.

    That $1500 will bite me on the ass sooner or later, few bad days.

    I did check, make 10K, break rule, lose account the 10K is still mine to take out :)

    That was my main worry, run account upto 200K then basically lose it all, although keep it as wage, 3K per month and withdraw is the plan.
