    OldNoobs return and FTMO Challenge

    Started attempt no 2 today, feel ive made the adjustments needed to nail this. Set myself a target of £500 per day. I stop trading if reached/exceeded. Anything above $250 puts me on target to pass the challenge. Today was at $5 pp the .1 was a trade placed on a chart that I had not adjusted...

    OldNoobs return and FTMO Challenge

    Boom! 4 week period is done, needles to say i did not do as well as I thought I would, may give it another go in the future, I think the principal is sound and fair. If you end in profit without breaking th eloss rules, you get a free repeat, if you make 5% you get a 14 day extension. so the...

    OldNoobs return and FTMO Challenge

    This week has been much better, I feel i have been more in sync with market movements, Goal is now to land in the green before the end of the challenge (4 more trading days) in order to qualify for the free repeat.

    no improvement on my peformance last week, challenge is looking like a lost cause, only option now is to trade size that gives me a max of 3 losers in a row before wipe out. I imagine my challlenge will come to an end soon and it will be bak to the drawing board.

    How I Daytrade the DAX

    Morning Chalky, Sorry if I came across as negative, it was not my intention. I did take the time to watch the videos. They are a nice introduction to how price action can be combined with fib levels and Eliot wave theory to create a trading plan without actually giving away what that plan is...
