I blow few account in this style of trading. My last account blow it was at 700% up and in one day it was puff. trading without a plan is like donating money. sooner or later the end is the same.

Sorry, what I mean "he" is the op, mrdfx.
I think this style of trading needs proper SL, if not will blow as you said.
Luck is not part of trading.

I may join this challenge, but I don't know how far I can go.

op has blown 1-2 accounts on this challenge like many others. i blow 2 accounts and then i change my strategy and mentality about trading.

Have to say that your TE is amazing!

Did you actually start with only $1? How did you manage to trade anything with only $1 balance? Normal margin requirements is a min of $3 balance to open a trade on any pair - with my broker anyway.

I'm just interested to find out how you did it. Even so your trading is incredible

It took me a few tries to take off from $1. As you said, most brokers only have leverage up to 1:500, so you need about $3 to start. Thats why I had to find a broker with leverage above 1:1000...and since the stop-out level is between $0.1-0.2 and spread can go up to 2 pips, I had about 6 pips of a room to get it right with the first trade. It was fun and a good training on how to look for the perfect entry. Got easier with time, as the leverage descreased.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

Happy Friday guys!

Hmm quite a lot of chatter I see while I was away lol..

Guys you can debate on my trading and risk management all you want, but please read the first post again. I said its an aggressive strategy and of course the risk is high, this is a high risk challenge, how else to make $409k from $100 in 1 year without high risk??? How else will I achieve the results if I risk small?

I'm also well aware of the drawdowns that can happen and I'm prepared for them, it doesn't mean I like them, but they will happen. My trading style for this challenge will not suit many people as it comes across as too risky and that's fine to think that way, but this is the approach I'm taking to achieve this challenge.

I had a few bad runs in the beginning and then made some adjustments to my strategy and I think now I'm tuned in and good to go.

For the newcomers thanks for passing by my journal and have a great weekend.

Today was pretty a good day adding +10.7% to the account and completing Month 4!

I was able to complete month 4 in 17 days, again with minimal stress and not too much pressure.

On to month 5 here we go!

I found this photo that I had saved from a forex group long ago thinking to give it a try some day.

I'm wondering if now isn't a good time to do it. Its only a one month challenge (more like 2 months) and it could be a nice boost to my trading account.

What you think anyone else seen this or tried it?

Hey Mrdfx,

What is your process to manage risk. Especially with stop los and risk:reward. Do you focus on +5% : -5% for a trade?

Thanks,
Swayam

Personally i think is better you concentrate in your challenge. You are forward about your plan goals. If you don't want wait for reach half million just put more balance and enjoy your future new life

If you can make 20 pips a day, every day, without fail, you don't need this. Just mortgage your house and you will be a millionaire by next year.

Hi swayam1069, I think I've covered this question before and a quick search in the thread you should find your answer instead of me repeating myself.

Here. Like I've said before I only use the TMA as a visual reference of what price is doing that's it, the rest is my eyes.

To be honest I think even 0.05 lot for 100 dollar is a bit aggressive. I dont have balls to trade like that now. Maybe in near future =)

I am now slowly recovering my loss...

So far its going well, only -6 now from my orignal deposit

Sure I agree with you though I was thinking along the lines of adding this new account challenge and copying over the trades as most days I'm making 20 pips or more so I would basically be trading the same orders on the 2 accounts with 2 separate goals, one short term and one long term.
