What I Did For Forex Today

Ripping off a popular thread in my homebrewing forum called “What I did for beer today”. Blow off some steam and tell us whatever little thing you did for Forex today. If it mattered to you, it mattered to us! Drop something random here that isn’t worth its own thread. Did you learn something new? Finally went live? Did you analyze your trade journal and made a change? Read part of a book? Worked on an EA? Tried out a new strategy? Cried real tears? Finished the school of pipsology? Fell asleep and missed an entry or exit? Landed a successful trade that deserves a toast? Did something smart, or more likely, stupid? Tell us about it!

For example:
Today as a result of troubleshooting some weirdness, I noticed that spread got set to 2 instead of “Current” in my MT4 strategy tester. That setting is in digits, not pips! No idea how I missed that, how it happened, or when it happened, but it basically means I’ve been backtesting with a .2 pip spread instead of a 1-2 pip spread. Now I need to re-do a whole ****ton of testing. :slight_smile:

How was your day?

Congrats Benn! Stick with it and always follow your trade plan!

I’ve been MIA the past few weeks after kicking off a two-week long optimization run in Strategy Tester. Finally finished! Also have been working on a cloud certification that I just passed as well!

That feeling when you’re 9 days into optimization and almost 1/5 done :rofl:

Going to get UPS from garage…lol.
