Another year over, a new one just begun. How has this year fared? Added anything new to your range of skills? Have you improved by removing anything from your charts or habits? Discovered a new way of doing things? Discovered that something is quantifiably not working? Looking back on a good...

The OP post should be tagged as an Article. Very insightful.

So, thats how the Santa Claus myth started....

Truly, I am a real, real amateur, sir. Speaking of fees, are you still on with the 5billion account? I am being stalked!

Thank you for illuminating my polite demeanour. I have done 6 FTMOs. (I failed due to exuberance and lack of patience) I think the first 2 were 100K (70K£), and others 35K£. Thats about 2K in total. I have not traded other props.

Good stuff, yet again, ffsear.

hi baddogfx, You have a 5billion dollar account, and all I have to do is pay YOU £6K to get some of it? Are you a Nigerian prince, by any chance? Definition of irony: Make 16% in one week and only experience 1/25% drawdown and get a 5billion dollar account: "... it is literally impossible to...

Well, well, well! Plot twist: My account was dead all the time. (currently -4.5K) No more trading. (for this year at least)

Actually, max is 1.81lots on US30.

1.8 lots! I had a 1lot, then added a 0.5lot. I then kept adding 0.1lot until it said I ran out of money. 1.8lots until I hit the limit.

Yep, the Swing Account won't let me open more than 2lots. I had a 1lot on US30, then tried to open a second 1lot, but got the "not enough money" message. Managed to open a 0.5lot. I had been banking on going mad with lotsize in last 2 days. I have sent FTMO a message to just clarify this...

In a gold rush, the people who make the most profits, are the ones who sell the picks and shovels. Trading has no limits to entry. No education level, no prior skills, no psychological mindset, to filter people out. And maybe it attracts those looking for an easy life, and course providers just...

I try to. Not easy, as I tend to marry trades, and double down on them.

Yesterday: 1lot BUY (yes, a buy!), with a small gain, about 11pips. Today: 1lot short: made around 30-ish pips in just over 1min! :) I now have 6 days to complete the challenge. So, I must trade every day next week, and then following Monday so I can put in the minimum trading days, as well as...
