Hello!
I guess I've missed something: did you actually become a millionaire, as it stands in the name of this tread?
But from other side you write: "Current balance is 59 815.00"
I didn't get it, I am sorry.

Either way, turning $1500 into $59 815.00 in less than a year and a half is pretty impressive!!Hello!

Made +48% profit in December.
Current balance is $88.702
Goal for next year is to keep up my performance (2014: 631%, 2015: 615%), and reach $500.000
All the best for 2016
Now that you are full time I am sure you are 100% committed with your endeavour.
Taking approx. $90k to $250k ( just half your goal) would be a great achievement for 2016 - its gets psychologically more difficult now ( increased stake size and larger losses possible ) but so far its not been an issue with you - so hope you can stay "unemotionally" attached to all your new trades

Do you share your strategy anywhere?
Actually, I experienced some psychological problem just before reaching $50K.
I literally started shaking when I entered into a few of my trades, because I started to realize I am risking a lot of money now.
I successfully defeated it by started to think that this is not my money.
I invested $1,500 and my money is $1,500 in this. And even if I lose half of my account, its not going to hurt me because of it.
Thats why everybody says never risk more than you can afford to lose.

No, sorry.
I am over 60 yrs old and don't want to stress myself with palpitations and sweats etc etc-

If you start getting it again over $120k and say over 20 lots or whatever - just ease back and keep reminding yourself that its worked for over 2 years etc - and losses are just part of the overheads of trading profitably

This is exactly what I am doing.
I am not only reminding myself that its worked for 2 years, but its worked in my backtest for another 10.
After entering a trade I usually go away from the computer. I don't even care if I will win or lose a specific trade because I know that statistics are on my side.
Always think about the big picture, and I think you can be stress free too.
You should try it
Out of interest, how do you go about your backtesting? And how long has it taken you to build this strategy and test it/find profitability?
