Nice work! that’s amazing to see :raised_hands:t6:

Hi Baller,

at the start of the year you had an unrealized loss of 8.717. Has that been solved now?
What pairs was that on and how long did it take to get back in the black?

No, its just down to £2.3K now instead of £8K.

Mainly AUDJPY, longer than it should have, 3-4 months.

mwah that’s already trending down since jan 2018 or, with a wider scope - 2014, so that will straighten itself out.

Exactly. Not to worried, this is a patient players game. Slowly slowly pick off positions and bank the cash.

Grand total so far, £14,321.43.

For some perspective that’s £14.3K on top of the original £10K.

@The_Baller I see you have implemented GBP in your trades too. A few months ago you said that you don’t trade GBP especially in times like this.

I guess these times are over, referring to Brexit I guess, or is it something else that motivated you to include GBP in your trades?

These times are over, for me at least.

Time to cash in.

I’ve followed your blog from the beginning. Nice work. Wish I could see what you see.

Slow day today, £170.99.

Can’t complain about the week, £627.09.

Nice to have you onboard.

I don’t see nothing special. All I know is when the majority are going one way, its time to take a step back and ask yourself, why.

Hi @The_Baller just curious do you look at foundation or putting more weighting more on money flow / trend only? Also aside from this experience I assume it’s normal to have positions against you for an extended period of time whilst negative swap keeps adding on, as long it’s not hitting your SL? Assuming the SL+negative swap is already calculated into the amount of risk you willing to take.

Not really no.

Yes.

Correct.

Of course.

Would this apply to EUR/GBP? Watching for possible long entry based on the M TF.

I see here that you have chosen to go with various position sizes. How do you determine how many lots to go with when you open a trade?

@The_Baller EURAUD has been on an uptrend on the monthly since 2012. What motivated you to short it? Thanks in advance for your valuable replies.
