Well I just finished my first week on my live account. Made some stupid mistakes, made some good trades, had a panicky moment (when the platform froze on me) but still finished up 7.5 % of my account value. I followed my money managment rules, and the emotions were not as strong as I expected ( I was even brave enough to leave a trade open all night, with a stop loss, of course) so now I just have to continue on, and refine my skills, ( and keep my profits!)
[B]Good for you that you obey money management rules!! [/B]
As long as you trade only 2% or less of your account, you have little to worry about, since you know that if you hit your stoploss, you will live to trade again!!
Watch that freezing of platform (thats one good reason for a stop loss!!).
Make sure you know very well how to reboot the computer and load again without fuss.
Platform freezing is more common than you think!! :eek:
