Trades for today doing my 3rd day of the Leeloo funded trader evaluation account. Being very conservative right now.

Thanks for all the info

For those who want to tune in to my livestream trade session tommorow, here is the link. It will be starting at 9:25 am est.

Did something rather stupid today and need to make sure it doesn't happen again. I finished up my trading today around 11 am and was -$100 for the day. Not too good, but not terrible either. My Leeloo account balance was around $51,000. Then later in the afternoon, I started playing around on SIM..or at least that's what I thought. Later on when I checked my balance on the Leeloo to see my trailing drawdown amount..it showed I had lost -$375 for the day and was now at $50,747. Somehow I unknowingly went on my evaluation account and took a trade . I didn't notice it at all, but it lost $275.
It's not a huge deal, but the weird thing is I don't remember switching over to the Leeloo account..but I guess I did? Oh well.

That sucks, but a wake up call we ALWAYS need to be on guard and paying attention.
At least it was for a relative small $ amount and I'm sure you'll recoup it quickly.

Thanks Lance

Get a second computer for trading sim only - don't connect it to your LeeLoo account. A cheap computer will do the trick. My trading computer is for live trading only - no Google, no email, no nothing except trading.
BTW, the new computer I had made is fantastic - inexpensive and the guys did a great job.

Good idea. I have another PC, but I moved fairly recently and haven't hooked it up. Think I will.
