And here are my charts with the individual trades, max position size only 2 lots today as I still don't feel very confident yet. I will add slowly more and more lots with confidence. I still think that the 150k combine is better to trade with a maximum of 5-6 lots and more likely a real 50k account. Hence, I probably won't put any 15 lot trades on and just try to make $500 to $1k daily with a usual losing days in between

Cl trades:

Good morning all,

was a quite a night for me, at midnight the earth was shaking here in Mexico City and it woke us up. My first earthquake experience ever and it was a really strange feeling when everything shakes. At least it only lasted 2-3min and nothing broke at my flat. When I was walking it felt like I was drunk...hopefully I dont have to experience a much stronger quake!!

But all good and now ready for the markets and here is my daily prep:

Read the news this morning and saw that in Mexico City the quake was felt but apparently no damage.

Still it must be quite the experience.
