another 20 batch:

5x BE 0% = 0%
2x TP 2% = 4%
13x SL -1%= -13%

Total = -9%

be+1 setting gave 3.7 pips, only one slipped into negative, 1 trade hit the BE because of +1 setting, and it would have been a profit. I'm using this setting to even out the slippage which it did, but will have to keep it in mind when focusing on profit making down the line.


DS score= 20/20 My first 100% score! looking forward to repeat it.

The afternoon sessions haven't been very profitable, I look at the morning chart everyday and it was better from a profit perspective in this last batch, unfortunately my schedule doesn't let me trade in the morning, it would also increase my number of trades and speed the training process. If I get a chance Ill try to add morning sessions in the future, impossible for now.

Congratulations on this achievement. To a new outsider it might seem ridiculous that I'm congratulating for losing 9% of your account, but the underlying reality is that discipline is the core of all successful trading. And you have achieved it at least for the last 20 trades. You traded according to your plan. 95% of traders don't have a plan. This puts you in the top 5% in the world. No Joke. Well done.

I agree with Immy. The 9% is not the important thing. You can see with your reporting that it is not your focus (which it should not be your focus), and the DS is what you are aiming for. You have a DS 5 better than me at the moment and I aspire to reach the same score as you. With that, the rest will come to us.

Keep up the fantastic work
