Hi everyobdy,
I'm starting my own journal here as I'm going live! with my currency trading account and will be good to share the experience, thoughts and feelings about it. Any comments appreciated. I will post the pdf or screenshot of the acc from time to time for confirmation of what's posted here (except any sensible details). Since I got started yesterday, today is my second day live, and I'm already done for the day. I started the acc with $25K and I have a 35% max risk tolerance before considering the adventure over without that affecting my normal lifestyle.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
DAY 2
START: USD 25,102
FINISH: USD 25,874
DAILY VARIATION: USD +772 (3.07%)
MONTHLY VARIATION: USD +874 (3.49%)
Comment: Rough day in the morning, where most of the over-30 positions opened today took place. It was one of those days when the market tries you a bit before giving you something back. That happened after the news @ 13:30GMT, so whatever the damned excuse, it worked ok for me as confirmed my model's parameters signals. I use a high-frequency model so I can calculate results on a daily basis and I use (damned I'll be for a while...) Meta****r platform, which is not the best for high-frequency; am planning to move if I get pissed off but for now it's OK as spreads in the broker are really good on majors (I only trade the big pairs, the most liquid ones), down to below a pip or between 1 and 1,5 most of the time with no commission attached to trading. OK, enough for my first post, good trading everyone.
