Hi,
It's always the same story: I start to have a winning streak and I think I'm the King of the World and can predict future FX rates. With 2 trades I lost arround 25% of my account, instead of the 3% I would loose if I followed my own rules. WHAT A LOOSER!
Apart from these 2 stupid mistakes I had a great month, so I only lost 4,5% of my account in October.
November has been a very jumpy month. I recovered a susbtantial part of my (equity) losses, that were far greater than the balance losses), but in the last week until wednesday I gave everything back to the market, and some more. From Thursday until now I recovered part of this losses and gained a new insight about my trading aproach. I will try from now on to focus on not to trade until I'm 90% sure that I'll win and after 40-50 pips in profit put the SL in the open price.
