Don't be so damn silly. You are clearly both lazy and stupid - not an uncommon pairing of dismal characteristics but becoming ever less so at SHF as members recognise the need to think for themselves.

You cannot even be arsed to work out what is going on here. That makes you monumentally lazy and stupid to a level that defies belief.

Bother me again with such a stupid request and you will lose your membership altogether.

Capiche?

Early days as usual, so we shall see.

What I found on demo was that the accrued profits started to run ahead of the open drawdown after a couple of weeks, with some judicious total shutdowns to lock in said profits.

I loaded this onto a small live GP account at the start of the week. So far, closed profits are $29 against a DD of $40. I am hoping the DD will drop to about $20 so I can close down and lock in the $9. Time will tell and I will let you all know what happens.

The markets have been kind to SPB of late - this goes back to some of us deciding to shut down hopeless positions and take the hit. A market does not have to move far in our direction for a grid to hit a 100 pip target but it remains to be seen what happens when we meet a few leaky toilets.

By the bye folks and purely for your interest, that idiot Elnar tried to post again and attracted a ban for doing so - and it was not even me who did the banning. :lol: It rarely is these days. It is worth bearing in mind that the mods here read everything that is posted. :clap:

So I checked in on the live account to find that a lot of the open positions had moved in my favour and I was able to close out leaving me at +$22 to restart next week (actually the damn bot immediately sent umpteen stop orders, so I might have to speak seriously to it next week).

More to the point is this: I finished the week $22 up on the start of the week and this reflects the sort of thingy I was experiencing on the demo. It gives a cushion to my trading next week, just like it did on demo.

Early days though folks and remember how often we have been here before only for riches to turn to dust.

These ridiculously impressive figures were boosted when I looked on Friday to find the open positions at +$177. I shut down within seconds. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :party: :!!:

Cumulative since starting the demo:

Fingers crossed for continued success.

An addendum to the above - real although tiny, live cash trading. I really am trading with cash I can afford to lose here. Don't trade with any other cash, folks:

I have just done on demo what I always try to do live and closed all remaining open orders, so I can be 'flat' for the weekend.

I bumped the lot sizes up to 0.05, with great results and a margin level that rarely fell below 1000%. This week:

Progress so far:
