Eddie and buddies,
Closed the month on a positive note. Had a target of 10% over and above 20% that I was showing post 10 days of trading however closed Oct at 53.25%.

I know its too good and will seem like I am trying to boast but that is not the case. I believe it is coming full circle for me.
1. Greed - lot of fine tuning still needed here but I will roughly aim at 50 pips per trade.
2. Fear - becoming patient is the only antidote but need to have good MM to counter it in a better way.
3. Hope - still too hopeful, meaning still lot of work to be done.
Lost $600 on a EU trade just because I did not stick to my conviction but then how far to go with one's conviction. When I sold EU, I was sure that USD will bounce back and it did but I closed the trade much before that and got the setback.
Some of the things I believe I am zeroing on will be:
1. 200 pips a month
2. Not more than 3 open trades (currently have 6 open)
3. Have some MM at least
4. Need not have more than 15-20 trades a month (had 43 in Oct)
For every $1000 (rounded off to lower '000) that I have in my account I will have 0.1 STD LOT open trade. So to graduate to trade 1 STD LOT, I need to reach $10000 first.
Equity stands at approx. $4800 today (rounding off to lower '000 means $4000 i.e. max 0.4 STD LOT). Target for Nov will be to reach $5600 i.e. profit of $800 (~17%) which on 0.4 STD LOT will again be 200 pips.
Wish me prudence and patience.
Thanks,
Sanjoy
