No I have not forgotten about trading. I was on an extremely busy project for work and had no time to trade whatsoever. Start of this year I have started working as an independent contractor (so with my own company) so I am earning about 3 times as much as I was before. This also brings me...

I'm not dead, but maybe it's not bad to have taken a break. I'm at a new work project and it's quite busy at the moment, however I only work 3 days at the office so I should be able to trade on thursday and friday (or any other two days)

My thoughts are all over the place so I'm just going to write them down to try to structure them a bit. I am currently losing money with my real account. My system should have a win rate of 75% but right now it's even less than 50%. This is on only 15 trades so it could be a bad streak. I am...

Ok so I have gone through all my trades and of the ones that started going against me , or went against me after some time 13 of them hit my SL so ended in a loser and 14 of them ended in me closing the position with a profit. I did not keep track of how much the winners and the losers are BUT...

Right, here is the analysis: Things to check for in my logged trades: 1- check if last trade is conform trades I took during testing (apart from humongous move) 2- check what the biggest moves were during test phase 3- look at test trades from begin of June till begin of July and see if you...

Another losing trade. This time it was a trade I would have taken during my testing period (at least I think so, to be confirmed). The setup could be cleaner but it wasn't really messy like the last two either. To me the market is behaving really strange lately and maybe we have entered some...

Quite a fall on the Nasdaq-100. Probably shouldn't touch this even if my setup triggers. This is not your average down move. Haven't seen this since I started testing.. then again, the other markets seem fine.
