Sorry you had a bad day, but I like the spreadsheets! How much is each point worth?

Hi there and thank you, I got that idea from you. Trying it out 😊

I am still trading the smallest size possible, because I still keep doing stupid things despite knowing better. I'm definitely getting better and faster but days like this show me I'm not ready to size up at all yet.

Super small. Today cost me 47 dollars.

I try to condition myself with points and not dollars.

Hope that answers your question.

Oops haven't been posting here.

New week. I have put myself on SIM for now as I traded badly (knowingly).

I will update but not post trades. Becomes to much to follow. Maybe at EOD.

Good luck everyone this week!

Hi Sandpaddict!

Just stumbled across your journal. Your early posts about the difficulty of holding onto winning positions made me think of Tom Hougaard, who trades CFDs astonishingly well at $200/pt while running a free live audio Telegram channel. He often talks about trading psychology and the difficulty of holding on to positions in profit.

I have a CFD account that I used a while back to trade Dax and Nas100. Not a fan of MT5, but I liked trading very small positions. Still I was amazed how much money I could lose trading $0.10 a point!

Hope the SIM is going well and look forward to seeing more posts,

Cheers
Mordecai

Hi Mordecai,

Thanks for your comments. I do trade CFDs, I always say I'm going to sim but it usually doesn't last a day and I add funds. Sim is just to pointless at this point for me. I know it's fake.

Find it awkward posting here as I feel like I'm posting too much, too often.
