Hi,
I'm not fazed by the contest ranking. I think your putting out the best quality trades I've seen out there so far. You're good!

Appreciate the kind words.....actually would be up a good $30K-50K+ more had I just let recent trades hit their targets. 😄

This might sound cheeky but I really haven't put much effort into trading. Maybe glance at the charts for 5 minutes a day? Because it's monopoly money and the leverage is so high I'm not all that 'involved' per se.

Probably luck more than anything. 😁

NZD was obviously overbought and even their central bank agrees it is overvalued.....actually got burned a bit on my AUD trades as I sold immediately BEFORE the Interest Rate and price shot up 😂.....but oh well lol........and any good news for Euro is only temporary as the crisis isn't going away overnight......

Ahhh, 'Luck'. It has a habit of following people about AFTER they become really good at what they do... doesn't it? ;) .

BTW I've just been proved right about the better 'quality' of your trading compared to others I've looked at. The former number 1 ranked contestant just hit a 58% drawdown today. There are certain trading types I really pay no attention to regardless of their current ranking by account size.

For YOUR own style however... You just keep 'lucking' into those 100 pip moves like you're doing, and you'll do real great.


(Now, about that AU trade: Mine was an opposite calamity. I was sitting pretty on 130 pips of floating profit on a long I entered the day B4 interest rate. Somehow, I watched it all drop to 14 pips b4 jumping off... We learn everyday!)

Good luck mate!

GBPUSD ripe for the shorting, I'm actually hoping for a deeper retracement. Too bad this isn't real $$$$ 😁

Another lesson in waiting until your trades hit profit targets 😳 Would've topped $400K by default.
But anyway, I can't wait until I finish this project so I can go trade on my real account 😝

Im really impressed with your trades. You seem to really know what you're doing, because your results appear like what would be realistic in a live account. Seriously, i'm impressed!

Thank you for the kind words. I have been in forex for quite awhile and do have an extremely simple yet obviously profitable technique. The key is to not watch your trades-- you have to trust your decision to take the trade and let the market do its thing. That's why you have a stop-loss and a take-profit. If you planned on watching every tick then why use them. Some of the best trades on my real accounts have occurred while I was sleeping! 😁

Based on my calculations I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to win, but I never expected to rank where I am now.....so I'm not going to just quit either 😄

Hey Splexin,

You're stiill killing it! I'm really impressed, and cant help but look at your stats everyday. Have you considered passing your trading knowledge onto others via say writing a book on your style, providing trade signals or managing accounts. I would if I had a reliable system like yours. I've been burnt in the forex market many many times, lost over $6000 real money in the past three months and would do so much to be guided into achieving your kinda result. Pls lemme know what you intend to do since this contest just made you a celebrity!!!! I'll be ur student if you'd let me.

LOL I actually just opened my platform and kicked myself for not exiting my open trades a few hours ago when they moved 80 pips each in profit....now I'm only up 40 each 😁 Oh well, stops at breakeven anyways so I'll wait and see......

$6000? Man that is pretty rough, might should've stopped and did some evaluations at the first $2000 lost....oh well live and learn....

For awhile I had a signal service but it was a distraction and kept me from trading in my prime so now I just operate privately. I do have a personal 'mentorship' program in which I teach my 'method.' Twenty bucks a month. You can read about it on my profile. I don't sell courses though....I think that anybody who has to sell forex materials does it because they suck at real trading and make more money marketing than trading. I make a living in Forex and don't need strangers' money 😄 I don't manage accounts because I have six of my own 😁 But one day I want to start a trading firm.

To those who recently signed up, I just woke up so you should have your personal area opened in the forum shortly 😄

Not liking the tiny profits of my open trades though 😁

Well, didn't end on the high-note I wanted (those blasted EUR trades 😁), but if I'm not mistaken after everyone's equity is liquidated (curious why it hasn't been done yet), I should end at 4th place....unless someone below me has a higher equity. 😁
