I just thought I would share the great trading day I had. I have been studying since the beginning of September and opened a small live account in November to go along with my Demo. I use it sparingly when I think I might be onto something. I think the live account trading helps in the learning process because the live trade makes your head do different things when real money is involved, no matter how much you are risking. It is valuable training in my opinion. Anyhow last night I placed a few trades and made 17% return on equity at 2:00 today when I closed them. 17% in one day is just about better than you know what! Well maybe not. Anyway it was very nice to finally see a magical trading day, and it gives my confidence a much needed boost. I was thinking about the countless others out there, that may be thinking of packing it in today. Here is your motivational post for the day. Stay the course and once in a while you will get a bone thrown your way.
Bizbad,
Yeh, man!! You give us all a lil’bita inspiration. I was having a miserable day trying to decide which way EY was heading. Learned that perhaps I’m gonna go for the long ball/haul on an H 4 chart and ride it down.
Inspiration/perspiration. Cheers!

Good one, inspirational stories are important. Well done
Good day indeed. I remember my first trade…Ahhh…the memories! LOL
Keep up the good work.
Good for you! Keep it up! Don’t get ****y, keep things consistent, think them through, and your well on your way!
Congrats!
bizbad great news!! thanks for sharing it;)
Let me speculate you were in on the down run of the GBP/JPY?? lol, its dropped like 6-700 pips over the last 2 days. Well so did the USD/JPY and the EUR/JPY though not quite as many;)
Can someone explain the correlation between these 3 pairs? I can understand the Euro & GBP, but how does the USD fit in?
Secondly was there a news release of significance that would cause such a quick drop that i missed?? I mean on tues day the GBP pair was in the 213.xx region and has dropped as low as the 205.9 region.
Thanks
Cheers
I was actually on several different pairs at once. GBP/CHF being the biggest winner. Did 5% more today. Hopefully I can keep the run going next week. Thanks for the congrats, I am really having fun the last two days.
Just remember not to get high on your winning streak and bet the farm… and lose it.
I wish I had a dollar for everytime that happened in the market!
