Journal of a busy dad and husband

Lost 20 points today. I end the month with +219 points / 177 € / 17 %. I think I can be proud of myself. It is the best month ever in every aspect for me. I increased my position size from 0.1 € to 2 € per point. I changed from CFDs to KO certificates and this is why I am able to risk a bigger proportion of my account. ROI is higher. I won’t increase my size next month. I want to trade a full month with the current size.

New month! What do I want to do differently? I think I want to try to let winners run longer. There were a few good opportunities in october to bank 100 - 200 points on one position, adding to winners not included. But somehow I cashed out for only 40 -70 points. I want to try to be a little more patient in november.

Today: +27,85 points, +55,70 €, +5,57 %

Didn’t trade yesterday. Probably won’t trade tomorrow.

Today: +151,08 points on a 50% position (+75,54 full points), +151,08 €, +15,1 %

Week: +106,54 points, +213,08 €, +21,3 %

Month: +134,39 points, +268,78 €, +26,87 %

Jesus…I can’t belive it.

Next month, I probably will increase my deposit from 1000 € to 2000 € and trade 3 or 4 € per point.

I scaled up x20 right before a couple of very good weeks. Although I am happy about it, I know that I won’t be able to maintain this high returns. My approach just performed exeptionally good, I even left many many points on the table.

Also as I am trading with what I call a “small account” of only 1000,- € and work with leverage of x50 - x80 my percentage returns are huge! This will change too because over time I want to reduce my risk percentage per point a little bit.

I have already decided to increase my deposit to 2000,- € but I will keep trading 2 € per point until the month ends. Then I will continue with 3 € per point.

I won back everything I lost with my current broker, which means now I am in taxable territory. My broker already withdrew tax last friday.

All profits I posted and will post in the future are before tax. Just so you know.
