S$1,218.98 this week

color looking quite healthy, in terms of win rate, can say is satisfied given 267 trades with 92% win rate.

for the gain, a little too volitile for my liking. mainly on spotbrent, oil, and crude. (as those position size are also dispropotionately huge compared to other symbols)

but so far, not too bad of a start for the first official week of the year

as usual psa, if it aint on myfxbook it probably aint real.

Is your trading fully automated now?

do you have to spend anytime everyday?

I intend to start an experiment. Day trading just indices. Will spend just less than 30min doing pre market analysis. Will try to day trade the first 1-1.5hours of market open. I realised some days once market open price move fast liao, some days will chop. I wanna catch those days where it will move fast within first 5-10min. Straight hit my tp by 1035pm or latest by 1045pm n then can done for the day. Wanna try n see after one year how’s the results.

of cuz I will continue my swing trades. But for day trading maybe just indices.

to followup on the question (sorry for the seperate reply cause was enjoying sunday outdoors)

in terms of experiment great step to start (but it'll be a long arduous journey, set proper expectation and frame of mind, risk what you can totally afford to lose and start small!)

in terms of pre market anaylsis (there is usually not much to do prior to market open for indices / forex, as action happens during opening, not before, except for very obvious cases, but even then, the action happens at opening.

trading opening is extremely volitle, yes you can get away with a few lucky trades, but it can go further than your expectations, eg. recent metals bullrun, and can get out of control (have strong conviction, but have even stronger fail safes. because if you scramble to add margin to protect bag - you;re essentailly trapped and "the liquidity".

good luck but it doesnt feel very much automated but rather day trading, and one thing that automation point of existence is to eliminate the human factor.

for most part, human emotion is one of the failure points, but also on the flipside human emotion can also draw big wins, so its a double edged sword.

but for most case, cons outweights the pros.

nevertheless, all the best on your day trading journey (and remember that this game is the most expert level game that the entire world, countries, banks, financial institutions, brokers, quants, market makers, liquidity providers ... ... so on many levels, influencers, finfluencers,affiliates,course teachers, self proclaimed gurus, grifters, people who photoshop their performaces... & finally retailers are playing.

so to the retailer, know your risk, know how insignificant you are in the game of trading.

and like someone that previously shared in another thread.

if a daytrader / course provider / whatever, tells you you can win a computer trading on nano and pico seconds across thousands of symbols at any point in time, processing more data than a human is ever possible of achieiving can win the game.

or even connecting to apps such as ctrader, mt5, mt4 what so ever, by the time the data hits you, its already lagged by milliseconds.

and thats 1000 to 10000 times slower than those machines trading on nano and pico seconds.

Not including the human reaction time (30ms before being processed by your brain), not including human action time (the time needed to set qty, place a long or short order on the screen, tp and sl)

so i hope this makes anyone that reads why you're on the losing edge on day trading (long term investors are different)

and why this journey is one that is arduous and Ouroboros

EXTREME VOLITILITY alert on metals stay safe!!!!

 

[Cashflow202]

sharing some wisdom

last night a few of my long standing trades that wasnt closed, clocked > 15x of its original margin. - finally closed in breakeven.

the sharing is that, even on trades that one can be rather confident in (algo executed), it can still go south many many times over with no pullback.

so always follow the golden rule of 1% of portfolio maximum

historical ATH AGAIN!
