Thread: How did I go from -38% to 500% this month in my trading?

Navy, you're at a stage that many of us have gone through... it's just one of many stops along the way.

LOL

Is anyone active around here? I�m new to trading, I�ve lost a lot but I keep trying. If someone can give me some advice, I would appreciate it very much.

Nobody hates you, but your first post looked like a marketing scam. Sorry for not looking at the real account, but it also has only losses. Maybe you should start with $500, the $50 goes flying.

If someone hates you, it's because you did something that bothered them. Although I don't think there is hatred here... rather there's a lot of madness. P.D.: Show your recent history, it's no use hiding it.

Hey Navyforex! Looking at your trades, you should do more risk management... risking 6% per operation is crazy. I�m not a pro trader either, I�ve only been a year, but as you�re doing day trading, I�ll leave you how I handle my setups with a maximum of 2% risk. I start with $5,000 worth of equity. 2% is $100. With a 30-pipe SL, that gives you $3.3 per pip, or a 0.3 lot. My monthly target is 300 pips, about $900 I reinvert. I use the D1, H4 and H1 frames to see the structure and then run on M15. I recommend free ICT videos if you haven�t seen them yet: https://www.xxxx.com Good luck, buddy! I hope you�ll succeed.

And what's all this about?

500% says it all. �For the market to work, it needs people who think they can beat it.�

If so, where do you buy them and what percentage of your portfolio do you dedicate to them?

People who say it�s pure luck to do 500% in a month have probably never had the discipline of doing backtesting or following a plan rigorously. Are they right that it�s hard to repeat it every month? Of course it is. But that doesn�t mean that it�s impossible or much less that it�s pure luck. What happened that month was the result of previous months of failures, adjustments, and internal work. It wasn�t a casino hit. It was more like finding the right gear after everything failed. I�m not saying that I�m a genius, just that when you do your homework right, sometimes the numbers surprise you.
