Sounds good, that's one of the great things about FX trading you can fund a small live account to test out your trading.

nice, took a look at your history...does look like you're playing a risky game increasing to so many lots. (only reason I checked is because of the high win rate).

Not saying it's bad, but it is risky, be careful with opening too many positions, margin in there for a reason, and myfxbook only shows drawdown for balance, not equity.
When you fall you learn, then you get up and you try again until you master it.

No stop loss is always a red flag in my mind.. and also seeing the yellow (equity) line under the red (growth) line does not increase my confidence either.

The first thing that pops in my mind when I see a high win rate is that the person holds on to his losers.. and hints at a psychological problem that he cannot take losses well, and thus does not cut them short.

Another thing that is a turn off for me is seeing the average loss both in the pips and monetary comparisons being larger than the average winner (which hints he does not let his winners run).

    * also the worst trade being almost twice as big as the best trade.




I've seen this behavior on so many systems on myfxbook, I really should just copy and paste this in the future..


Beware of the black swan my friend.

Best regards, Stefan.
