I have no intentions of giving up on this experiment…unless of course i blank the little side account here 
and yes, i do find it more stressful.

After one day and so many trades and still at b/e is well done, imho.
I did a little better however, because I did nothing and am also at b/e. 
Well, after one day it’s too soon to say anything. After a month maybe it will show what’s going on.
Just today my bot couldn’t make those nice 30 pips because my network was down. 
Ok… thanks everyone who’s contributed and wished me good luck so far… It’s appreciated! I will respond to everyone who’s commented in the next day or so, but now it’s time for me to contribute to this thread what it really needs, and what I can’t believe I’ve overlooked so far!
A Plan
I started this thread as something fun…but more importantly, to show what it takes to be successful. Well, it’s time I make good on that intention.
To be honest, I feel a bit embarrassed about how my first day out went. I knew this would take more preparation than even my own trading in my primary account does, and I didn’t give it the respect it deserved.
So, i’m going to carry over some of my own rules for trading to this project. I will be posting them up, and I won’t be trading anymore here until I do so.
Now…forget setups, forget methods: This is what trading excellence is really about - Self Control and Habitual Excellence via a comprehensive plan that restricts impulsive action, and reinforces an a series of optimal performance actions.
I don’t have time at the very moment to put this plan down here, but I will be starting on this tonight. This will take some time, and until then, I won’t be taking any trades here. But rest assurred, I think that most folks will find this aspect of trading more helpful than most other things out there, and I know that this will likely guarantee success for my goal.
Without such a plan, I pretty much guarantee failure
So, now the fun really begins! Will update this thread within the next day or so with the first part of the trading plan.

Awesome jay! Can’t wait for it.
