What pairs do you trade? Do you believe your system can withstand the test of time?

Actually I'm connected to a trading platform with the interbank that does all the trading. Yes, I believe this will withstand the test of time.

So you're not really trading at all? You've given your money to somebody else and used 3 months worth of results to project 3 years into the future, is this correct?

With the beginning dollar amount, it sounds like an FXCM managed account or something similar. Beware of the combination of hypothetical trading results and making future plans....

Mmmmmmmmmmm.

If you are not trading yourself, then this is a non-learning situation.

Correct, I am not doing the actual trading. All monies go to a central bank in Switzerland where the firm has a presence and they do the trading with the interbanks.

I wouldn't say it's a non-learning situation. I still need to learn how it all works so I can follow along and anyway don't you think it's smart to learn all you can when it comes to money?

It's a non-learning situation for trading, and that's what everyone else is talking about here. Nothing wrong with being excited about the results of your managed account, but man, it's not gonna cut it as trading around here.
