Single trade returns


Those who know me personally will know that I don't like losing, especially money!

That's one of the reasons I've tried so hard to develop a trading methodology that results in lots of profits, and very few losses.  It's over a year since I (effectively) settled on a way to trade with  a high 'sleep-at-night' factor.

And I'm still tweaking it, as this graph of my last 1,142 trades shows:



If you know where to look, you'll see several distinct periods, where I used take-profit closes rather than manual closes, or where I tried stop-losses rather than trust my research/skill/diligence etc.

And the human-error trades show up, such as where I closed a losing trade when I was trying to open a new trade!  Those who know me will also remember how much stomping and yelling I did when that happened!
