La lucha es de igual a igual contra uno mismo
The fight is fair against oneself
this day,the last day was a bad trading day, because i was watching the p&l to reach and not let it go below 9000
but in general was very very good for me
very objective, i did it, patient
and i did a lot of mistakes also!that is good, to have room to improve
next i will try again the combine , the 4th, but with more practice , 4 month
and i know now the size/risk swings behavior
to reach the goal i need nice days, start good, and finish better
maybe i could not reach at once, but if can be inside parameters, and re try, that woud be nice
i need to choose the tradings days, i will lok the calendar in advance for red news
maybe because i am working a lot now, i take out pressure to trading, and that is better
sim to combine, first step,
La lucha es de igual a igual contra uno mismo
The fight is fair against oneself
this week i was working a lot, also i am setup the new hard environment, and , we change the daylight hour here, to let me stay at open.
this week is main holiday, then, i look next to find what day start the test.
i made 1 trade with a pos short 2096 with av 8 lot, holding a couple of days, and i was holdin more than 350 points open, it is a diference holding on an close it on intraday really.
i can not pos it because the i shutoff one server from i was that sc version, and in the new one is not there now, i imagining i can recovery on the new installation.
La lucha es de igual a igual contra uno mismo
The fight is fair against oneself
i almost finish, the new setup
now i can see much better the charts at once
i was watching the markets, and feeling what s going on, each and every day
having an idea for the week, and contrasting with the reality
this week i made 2 trades, 7 and 9 april and was very good
i am thinking and planning the combine 4
i need 10 days from 30
i need to choose nice days
and the first goal it will be staying in the parameters
but if i can surf a nice wave, the money can flow
i need to be patient
waiting
understand
and hold when i am in a winner
now i am realizing, that
more than 4hours of holdings
and if i can hold for severals days , better, but the restriction to close at 310, and re open at 17, needs to be selected carefully because i can consume 1day in that.
only recomendable in a nice move
i choose start in 22apr to catch nice news, start with g7, unemployment, in first week
second with fomc, third nfp, nice reds, ecb, fomc, 4th cons sent, and last minutes
nice 30 days i think
the mkt coiling, ready to move
now is my turn, what can i do with this movement.
on the past nothing
now, i need to wait , and do something, (very diferent)
the higher tf view, help me a lot
now, i know the the risk managent for that tiny max dll and max dd, it is dificult , especially if the first 2 days start underwater
and the last days is criticall also, if i am near target

I was trying to figure it out and it doesn't make sense.
Is any reasons you took $150K combine and not something smaller?
Are you trading Spread? One of your charts has multiple products in it. How do you use it?
You almost made your target profit on Day 3 crazy impressive.
well, i am on the week to start the combine 4
i was preparing this months
i think i am ready to manage it better then the previous.
specially with the patience.
i left behind the urgence to act, to recoup
The market is there. I am learning
i accept the time i need to learn, to incorporate things
I am watching one market, more longer time frame
I am watching it with patience
I am learn the power of size and how to manage it or control it
I recognize how the market moves and it is not surprisingme as before it did
I analize more than 50 charts of correlations every week to try to understand better
I can watch a lot of things now, i feel comfortable what i am watching, and i can recognize the change of movement, and specially how it moves.
I like to stay on the right side and wait and see how increase the position and the gains.
I have prepared myself more time studying and watching markets than time in trading.I know it is right.
I like my platform now, it is the platform i dream, and i use to say myself, when earn money i will buy it, but never happened, now i know i need to invest before to earn
The same with the data and services, and the time and the effort
I know to execute it without thinking in how to execute it
I know my reports and statistic and if i doing well or not
I feel a little nervous and i recognize, the same with the anxiety to exit from a winner position or the natural pressure to continue with the losing position, and i think i will be able to recognize and manage them
Are all the above things enough? I do not know
maybe, i hope so
it is a difficult test, tight and not let too many errors and maybe i will not be able to capitalize the movements. I will try, when i will be trading.
I know the first two days and the last are key.
the first to avoid to reduce max dd
and the last because if i am near goal, you can fail on the last one.
i will try to make an extra effort to not think on the pl, it is impossible in this test, but can affect a lot
if things go good, whatch the overconficence
if things go bad , the goal is accomplish the rules. It will be another chance to reach the goal
