Me Trading and learning the markets after 12 months of EA coding and testing and ultimately failure. I am back to basics and learning what I should have first. How to do it manually.

Yeah, you cannot create a successful EA w/o a successful manual trading system behind it. It's like going directly from A to Z. Wish you luck!

Month 1 of profitable trading. - ' Finally I followed my trading plan.'
Month 2 of profitable trading - ' System seems stable. I think I got it.' Month 3 of profitable trading - ' OK, this is getting easier. I'm on a roll.' Month 4 of profitable trading - ' Trading plan is set in stone, but maybe I can decrease risk and improve the profitability of this system.' Month 5 of profitable trading - ' Almost half of a year of making consistent returns, I may have found a stable system for years to come.' Month 6 of profitable trading - ' WOW, 6 months of success. This feels great. I can actually be considered a profitable trader. My confidence is at its highest it has ever been and I feel unstoppable. However, this is just the beginning. Now I have to continue to battle the market and be adaptive to the ever changing market. I may continue to have some small ups and downs, but I know the hardest steps are out of the way. ' Is that month 3 down? |

mr euphoria,
why hide your balance? this is received by many as a deceptive practice. if it is only a couple of hundred bucks, just say so. z/. n/a |

Wish you luck! not exactly true. some automated code, such as mine, make thousands of calculations, which means that it is impossible to trade it by hand. z/.. n/a |

If it makes you feel better than it is only a couple of hundred dollars. I am not here to sell a thing and it is a tool to use to analyse my own trading, not to generate dodged up results so i can onsell a system. So if it helps with your own inadequacies, then yes it is only a couple of hundred dollars |

Its been a hard slog, but I have finally recovered from July's bad trading and have cracked the 40% gain mark. The reason the system does not show the 40% is I deposited some extra funds in the account that I got through an IB cash back program - I still class this is as profit. what are your thoughts? Should trailing commissions based on a cash back program be counted as profits towards your trading?
