OK, since I do not trade on Fridays, Monday I am away and Tuesday is the last day of the month I will call it a month and will restart trading on September 1.
whatever myfxbook shows now is wrong. I am 6.8% up in a month and a half since I started trading on July 18.
23 trading days total. It's like a month for most so, results are not bad. Will continue working on improving hit rate and patience.
Annual goal is 30-40%.

I meant yesterday. Today market was good. Yesterday's market was not usual. I have been watching it every day since February but never seen such choppy conditions. But today I made my trade exactly in same condition, it is just that I recalculated my trading according to it.

I did trade that big short, unfortunately not on this account :( was really happy with today's trading , patience and execution.
Market was excellent today.
It's simply yesterday conditions changes quickly and sharply and it caught me unprepared.

Trader757, I think you should check that options part on MT4. there is a place there where you should indicate with what frequency you want myfxbook verify your data. i put it at every 5 min.

Chikot, a question for you: I added my account to my profile but it is not being updated. I've been following yours and it has been updated regularly. Do you know if there is anything one should do to get it updated regularly?
use myfxbook , accounts beta. very basic. no setup on mt4 side.😉

I always wanted to trade oil actually. since i read about those traders trading it in the pits.
On practical side:
1. Very liquid both financially and physically
2. The most important commodity
3. Been reading Energy bulletin since 2005.
4. Nice strong moves and fast.
5. Lot of daily trading opportunities for day trader
Dangerous...

Nope, it was not my childhood dream.
I learned of trading only in mid 2000's and about FX only in 2008.
My childhood dream was once to become archeologist and then officer with Soviet military as I am from 2 military generations family myself.
