NEXT my friend NEXT! You traded nicely today... even took care of some of us. When you are around, I trade better and in most cases I don't miss any trades, because I always know at the back of my head Grant's there with his laser sharp iron clad disciplined eyes... He will shout and you do! and I love it! thank you for doing that Grant. We all enjoy it and Im sure many AIMSters learn a great deal from you. I am one of those guys!

cheers ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

Hi Grant,

your rents are amazingly small. Do you still set your SL above/below the entry candle, once it is completed - without any exceptions ?
Great day with those rents !

dafox,

Immy and i have traded together since the back end of 2010.

My journal as you can see started in Sept 2011

so my % gains form the start of the journal are :

2011 46% (sept-dec)
2012 76%
2013 56% (Jan to today)
Total 178%

Some points to note:

1. I have been off work since christmas with a torn shoulder tendon so have been able to trade full time, thus % gain is a lot better than the previous years...
2. The %s above are all without compounding. It takes around 70% to double an account balance. Thus i have so far doubled my account twice and am half way ish to number 3..
3. i started with £2000, so am not quite into 5 figures yet.
4. Compounding in trading is your best friend.

hope this helps

This is a terrific style of trading, I like the way you cut those looser's, you trading like a friend of mine on forex factory named Gleneagles. Kudos to you brotherly, you and Immy are one of a kind breed of Alien Traders :ymalien:
