Good luck with your journey to getting funded!

Can you summarize high-level your strategy?

Well Thursday (yesterday) I had a terrible day. I was up $480 and then took a pairs trade. Something I never do!!! I ended up down slightly for the day. I did however trade today. I will post the trades pics in the morning.

Profit for today: $210 and no more pairs trading.

As you can see my trading plan does involve losses however they are kept as tight as possible. The runners however run away.

Thanks,

Ty

Well it has been a hard day. Trading is on very low volume however I am trading my plan. I am currently down $40 after trying to trade a sideways market. My system does weather the storm and one runner will take me on the winning podium.

A double edged sword. Tight stops can me one of two things. Lose less and get stopped out to prevent catastrophic disaster or good trade management. I am hoping for the later. One thing I can say today is that if this was a funded account I would be buying the broker champagne on the commissions.

I have been away for a week and thus could not really trade. I am back in the swing of things. Tonight I stated off running the wrong direction. First two trades were both losers. However, I stuck to my trading plan and traded the setups.

Profit for the day: $171.25

Until tomorrow.

Hi,

My name is Ethan and I have been impressed by your coverage and honesty. I am just beginning of my trading journey. I work for a company called Lamden and we are also doing something like OneUp except we don't charge any monthly fees and ramp up capital in a different way. You could potentially do both. I would love to have a quick chat over skype or telegram and learn a little more about your trading style and if it is a fit with what we are doing.

Please PM me and congratulations again,

Ethan
