Hello all,


Forgot to update Friday so here it is.

One more target day needed and another $1,200 till profit target hit.

Ninja trader doesn't take off commission so total w/o commission is $2,200.

Regards

You can setup the platform to deduct it if it would be useful for you to see your exact intraday balance in Ninja.
Go to Commissions in the Tools drop down menu and choose one of the three Ninja Brokerage rates or create your own named template for whatever OneUp charge.
Then go to the Accounts tab, right click on the relevant account, select Edit Account, and apply the commission rate you want to that account.

You do not win as a trader, you just get to play again the next day. If that game doesn’t appeal to you then you should not trade. Gary Norden

Well I blew it.

So today was the last day to reach the days traded and I had about $1,200 to hit the profit target.

So I took a position over night in the 30 year bond got stopped out by one tick before the rally lost $250

Then I rallied up to about $400 in profits before be so sure that oil is going to hit 53 again. Went big with 4 contracts out $600. Then for sure thinking NQ could of been higher so went 4 contracts deep and lost $800. Say all or nothing. Went 4 contracts again on NQ Spiked down and stopped me out for the loss of account and then it rallied...

For some reason I was so sure that oil was going to be going down to 53. I went against all my rules. Why you might ask.... I have no idea. The coffee must of took over. So after that it all went down hill. I could of walked away with $200 gain but I got greedy. Really greedy.

I can upload some pictures if you alll want to see.


I have a system I am a trying out and made $2000 from Sunday to today so I might be playing that on my real account soon and just a new thread.

Thank you all

Hi barabas,

Speaking from experience; if you did what you did today with a sim account I can guarantee it will 1000 times worse with a live account. Save your money until you can control your emotions.

Why not use your new system on a new combine? Should be able to kill it in a couple of weeks.

PS- dont take this personally.. its not meant to be.. just honest feedback from someone who has been there and done that.

No worries I know what you are talking about since I blew up 2 account in the past and the system I have has a bigger drawn down at times that OneUp Trader might not like and it doesn't close at the end of the day. Which hits another rule of One Up.

But I am gonna take a break for a few days just watch the system in sim and I will decide what to do later.

I think you misunderstood the rules?

There is no point at when to reach the days traded, you need to trade a minimum of 15 days but you can take as long as you want/need.

I mean like the today would of been that 15 day traded so I would of hit that rule. I could of walked away today but instead I tired to go all or nothing.

But you could continue to trade after those 15 days, you don't have to reach the target in 15 days.

I wish you all the best in the future, i have also made that mistake before.

Regarding my journal with OneUp, i have decided to no longer do daily updates, i will just report when i passed the evaluation or lost the account.

I recently took another look at LeeLoo and their website improved very much!
There are some points which are still unclear to me so i have contacted them to ask about their DD if it is trailing or not and some other questions. If their DD is non trailing they are worth considering in my opinion.
