As far as your question on my account being wiped out I have stops to ensure that's not the case.

Glad about that.

I was concerned you were just using mental stops which are fine 99.9% of the time. That 0.01% with 10 lots could get nasty.

Totally understand the skeptics.


I'm not interested in generating clients I'm a private trader starting out.

Skepticism is healthy but sometimes overdone here at ASF. The truth is, most other traders want you to do well, but also need evidence that there is nothing bogus being presented before they will barrack for your team so to speak.

A simple private message to one of the Moderators on ASF to validate one of your days trades will give you a captive audience.

Whether you are trading 10 full lots with IB or 10 mini lots with IG, it makes no difference to me personally. I would be impressed with your nerves if its full lots, but the bottom line is your % returns .... leverage is easily added after a successsful strategy is proven.

Good luck with it

I will give your suggestion some though...however I'm not posting to gain any "captive audience" just to keep myself honest and to share with other Spi day traders.Posting live trades to me is the most transparent way of doing this as their is no possible chance of deception.

I trade full lots didn't know there was a market for half lots in th Spi futures.

You seem to be scalping it, but do you let it run like say picking the low around here?

Also, doesnt it get distracting posting trades onto ASF and twitter?

I tried swing trading and it doesnt suit me.Scalping does.

It is a little distracting but it's like a trade journal for me so I find it very helpful.

That is what aroused my suspicision. Also the fact she has not made any previous posts before this thread and the avatar doesn't help.

If they are real results good on her. Would be good to get some insights into her money management, entry criteria etc to learn from.

Hi Trader Girl

Congrats on yesterdays results. I will keep an eye on this thread again today.

You mentioned that you paper traded for 6 months prior to going live. If you dont mind sharing what was your % return during this period?

I also look forward to hearing more about your strategy in the near future.

My results improved with time as I became more patient and traded only
set ups i really liked.I averaged about 4 trades per day with 3-1 win loss ratio.
My basic stratergy is not set in stone.I use multiple charts with different time frames(5,15,60) to get an idea of the trend.I will use support resis. line,trend lines ect to gain entery levels.I also use basic indicators to guage strength.I monitor other Asian markets plus US futs and the AUD.Sounds complicated I know but I use all of this to trade.

Usually take 4 pts profit stops vary depending on my feeling of how the trades looking and my read on the order flow.
Hard stop is always 10-- no buts...always 10.
