End of this month's contest today, and I am content

Today is the last day of this month's trader contest

I am happy with my trading this month
I had a good strategy, and a solid back-up or second strategy when things went bad
I had significant draw-down (but only very slightly above 60%)
and I managed to turn a losing situation back into a winning one,
I am very happy with my end result of a top 10 position!

Top 5 position after hard work yesterday

It took a lot of hard work yesterday but I managed to achieve my goal

I had gained a top 10 position in the trader contest yesterday
after closing my Usd longs - it looked like they had reached their top
I then proceeded to open a lot of Aud, and Nzd based longs and crosses
to try and find a bounce from lows in these pairs
and move up a little in the contest to secure a top 6 position
It took me to late at night to finally turn my positions into a slight profit

Good to be back in top positions table

It looks like I might finish up high this month in the contest
It is good to be back up in the rankings after having won the contest once
(if I finish third this will be my second interview)
I had a quite solid plan this month, and played it relatively safe
To be rewarded with such a high position is great,
it means a safer strategy can work - and this will help me grow as a trader

Thought I saw an opportunity yesterday

I thought I saw a chance to climb the ranking of the trader contest yesterday
Yesterday I noticed that I was placed number 3 in the contest
and the number 2 only had 1 or 2 more points than me
I saw a chance to grab the second place
so I executed a couple of trades I had been looking at for a few days
but were a bit risky - but now was the time to take that risk
I went short GbpUsd and Gbp crosses, and long UsdChf above support
All my positions failed unfortunately, and I got out on time - with …

It's been tough trading

It has been very tough to make a few pips
I have been losing small amounts steadily trying to make a few pips
the last couple of days of this week
It was time to take a good look at my state of mind and my entries
I was hoping for winners - going for trades with tight SL's
and hoping to be out and up too soon - it was not working
I see now that it is time to settle into trades that I really have believe in
and I am long EurUsd and Eur crosses
Technically the bulls are in control here, and there …

Climbing back up in the contest

I am climbing back up and looking for a good trade
After a drawdown of more than 70% I am up to 150K in the contest - my highest yet this month
My aim is to get back in the top 10, where I started this month
For this, I will need a good trade - and I am keeping an eye on the market

Looking for surprises this month

This month's contest I will be looking for surprise forex movements
It will be all about the US elections at first, this month
Although I expect a lot of action in USD pairs, I am looking to buy Gbp and Eur this month
A stronger Usd will hurt minor pairs hardest, and maybe give pause to Gbp and Eur decline
I am buying GbpAud and EurAud to test this, and I will let them ride
Furtheron (if I get there) I will be looking to add Gbp longs, or buy dips in Aud and Nzd
Gl all!

Crash landing in the contest

After a great start I am back down below starting capital
Putting all my faith and capital into the NZ rate cut proved to be the wrong decision
Blinded by the will to win I forgot the most important rule:
Only trade when you see a trade
I am back down to 70K now
and the rest of the month I will try to protect this capital,
keeping my yearly avarage in mind
My trades will be based on technical and fundamental direction,
and will be safer - I will not risk it all again this month

Evaluation/Update Trader Contest August

I am going to risk giving an update and trading plan for this month
I would like to say this first:
Normally, I would not risk setting out a plan for the trader contest
This is because I was usually uncertain that I would survive at all
without blowing up my account completely before the end of the contest period
This month feels different, though
I have learnt a lot the past year - after I won the trader, and then the strategy contest
I still have trouble managing my live account, but I am grow…

Maybe you should forget about having a live account and start trading on it as if it is just another demo account. :P It most of the time just works well but then don't forget to withdraw your initial deposit the first chance you get! Good luck in this month's Traders' Contest @ AdamFX42!

FXRabbit thank you - I have tried everything, believe me, except following the rules, i.e. not risking more than 2-5% of capital on each trade,and having a comfortable money management program
Unfortunately, if I play it this way - I am thinking about it - it will take me a couple of years to free all funds that I have already deposited into my live account (and lost)

Now that is a very impressive Contest Bonus within just half a year! Very well done.

Looking for a good start to this month

I am looking to start off well in the August competition
The trade that I have picked out is selling Aud
I expect a rate cut from the RBA, which might come as a bit of a surprise
The economic data support a cut, but not all banks agree with that
Commentary from Australia support a rate cut tomorrow though
So, I am long EurAud, and short AudChf, and AudJpy
gl all
