Thurs. 6/14 +8.5%

2:45pm CDT - Nice win but a failure.  I should still be in the trade but after 3 days, I aborted.  Just after exit, I looked like a genius but not so much now.  I expect it to hit original target in next day but who really knows.

  2. And I'm back to being a genius. Target never hit and trade would have just stopped out for -$300 if I hadn't overrode system with early exit.

  3. Hi Gearhead, this is zenfxtrader. we exchanged emails a few years ago. I don't blog anymore but still trade FX and visit your site occasionally. I admire your persistence and courage. But I wonder, do you really trade full-time, or do something else too? Based on the equity curves of the last 8 years, one couldn't make a living off it.

    1. "Full-time" is subjective of course but I don't have another job if that's what you mean. I have no debt and some rental income that gets me by and "trading for a living" is the eventual goal.

  4. Good on you!
    I still have another job and the goal of living off trading exclusively is still a dream, although it seems closer now. Blogging is a lot of work so I've stopped, but the habit of writing a trading diary still survives. I've changed my trading method to day-trading in a short time window. Looks promising.
