Very impressive, thanks for the info. I do wish I had done this more carefully in my first account that got blown. I have started a new live account and although the first few weeks were very impressive it has since totally bombed (I still have my original investment, but have lost all my gains.) My demo account, however, is rockin'. Usual story.
I have a demo of $10k I am trading Elijah's Guppy Lady in...and since last week I have had a 6% gain...and it is so effortless, no staying up all night (unless I want to have some fun!), no stress, no chart reading, no figuring it out what to trade, etc. etc. I know what you mean when you say if you had paid more attention to your demo you could have made more. I see that with my account as well.
I am thinking of opening a live account soon to trade this, but I want to master the spreadsheet. I want to be certain I understand where to stop buying down. Which is the most up to date spreadsheet and where is it? May I have it?
Anyway...I am pretty disappointed in my "real" trading these past months. I worked for two years perfecting all this and turned a $100k demo into $1.2 mil in five months...I thought I knew at least a little bit about what I was doing. But I got long on the pound and euro way too high and have held on to them all the way down. So I think I am screwed. I have faith though, that SOMETHING will happen! Maybe I will close all that on Sunday and start on Elijah's method with what little I have left.
GOOD SHOW, 4XSTAR, thanks for sharing!!!
