Took around 120 pips of profit last week. two positions remain open.
Technical view - It failed to break the recent high around 1.3170. Medium trend is still up until it break 1.2835. We will see if 1.30 holds this week.
Potential followers, if you decide to follow, please follow with the smallest possible lot size until you’re confident that I can perform according to your needs and comfortable of the way I trade. I want my followers to make money and have a long-term profitable relationship.
Technical update: EUR JPY, EURUSD broke the rising trendline last week. We will see how low it can go. Personally i’m looking for a target of at least 300 pips from Friday’s close for both pairs.
My Zulutrade SP accounts are not performing as I would like it to be. I want it to be the same as in my live account, but i’m dealing with my own trading personality and my followers trading personality and I want to meet halfway, but my performance is affected.
So, moving forward, I will trade my Zulutrade account the same way I trade my live account. If followers cannot handle the swings, they can do two things:
Take profit at levels they’re happy with
Drop me as their SP
Personally, my annual TP for each SP account are below, but having to tweak my strategy a little bit, I might not reach my annual target. As you can see in my history in Zulutrade, these targets are not unreasonable.
Fxturtle = 12,000 pips (DD not to exceed 1000 pips)
Fxturtle - EURUSD = 10,000 pips (DD not to exceed 750 pips)
fxturtle, very well stated my friend, very well and smart.
from my humble 16m trading experience with zulutrade - i’ve noticed followers are trying to alter one way or anther the SP’s strategies, but because there are so many different followers and so many different traders thath one can simply not satisfy their risk appetite at all.
The pair made a strong bounce last weeks and it is tapping the declining trendline on the weekly. If this pair closes above 104.50 in the next few days, we are in for a rally. If a reversal candle takes places this week, we will be looking for a short entry.
I only took one position in Zulutrade due to the reason above to limit DD. However, I took three positions in my live account as I am comfortable with the risk i’m taking. If the pair breaks the declining trendline in the weekly, I am looking to add positions on a retrace.
As my system is a trend following and the market has not really trended like the previous months, my performance will also not mirror the previous months. I take what the market will give. In market condition like this, I will try to get above water or minimize DD.
Because I will never know for certainty that it will trend or range, I will take positions on a limited/reduced basis, so as not to be left out if the pair would trend, but most importantly minimize potential losses.
good for you turtle…!!!
