Post 100 Trading Days since the Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Wed, 24 Jun 2015 16:05:00 +0000

So, the day finally arrived. I had not envisioned reaching any day here and writing this post on the successful completion of my 100 Trading days challenge.

What is most important is that I completed it with my discipline and sheer determination.

Without doing any emotional siyappa, I get straight to numbers.

The 100 trading days challenge started on 2nd of Februry 2015 and ended on 22nd June 2015. Till then the entire summary of my trading account is as follows:

37 closed in Losses
17 closed in Profits
4 closed in neither profit/loss

This in theory marks my profit % to 70.

But in reality, I have made 114% in profits.

If you have been following me on this blog, you would know my theory behind this.

I have also pasted my account in real time in image as below:

100 Trading Days Challenge - 24 June

So, finally I have done it. I made $227 out of $200 in less than 6 months.

Though only 58 out of 100 Trading signals got triggered. But still overall I am satisfied with my performance.

Now waiting for the rest of the deals to get triggered as well, which is 42.

Moreover, I have started off with the next 100 Trading Days challenge, which started off from the 23rd of this month.

All the details are there on my Twitter.

Happy Trading!!

Post 92 Trading Days since the Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Wed, 10 Jun 2015 11:27:00 +0000

Ok. So it has been a long time since I have spoken about my trading activities. The last when I did was on the 20th of May. Today it is 10th of June and it is difficult to believe that 92 Trading days have passed.

Out of which, 56 signals have triggered. That means 36 signals till today have not triggered. Though considering the entire 100 trading days, 44 are yet left.

Since the last post update, 10 more trades got triggered. 6 of them closed in losses, while 3 got profits, while one got none.

The summary of the entire account till date is as follows:

36 closed in Losses
16 closed in Profits
4 closed in neither profit/loss

On paper it seems to be a 60% on my initial investment of 200$. But every one knows by now that I move my take profit levels a little to cover up for the broker margins. So, actually I am on 100% profit margin. It means that I have gained 200$ profit by investing 200$ in a period of 92 Trading days.

I started this 100 Days trading challenge on the 2nd of February and today it is 10th of June.

Not bad, I must say.

I have attached the activity on my account from the 15th of May till date. Do have a look.

Let me know if you wish to know more on my trading style.

Till then Good Bye and Good Luck.

100 Days Trading Challenge - 92 days

Post 77 Trading Days since the Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Wed, 20 May 2015 13:20:00 +0000

So I am back again. Back with another set of great news!

My trading account is now on a profit % of 69. That in terms of pure number means $138 (I started with Principal amount of $200 on 2nd of February this year). Hence, my equity stands to $338.

In the meanwhile since my last update of 65 Trading days since the challenge; 14 more trades got activated. The summary of which is as below:

7 closed in Losses
4 closed in Profits
3 closed in neither profit/loss

And overall the scenario for my account is as below:

30 closed in Losses
13 closed in Profits
3 closed in neither profit/loss

That means out of 77 Trading signals, 46 got activated till now. As of now, there is a scope of 54 more trades to get activated.

This week I made a gain of $50 (Profit is 3 times the loss) and waiting to make much more till all the rest of the signals get activated.

I have attached the snapshot of my account balance at the bottom of the page.

100 Trading Days Challenge - 20 May 2015

Post 65 Trading Days since the Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Mon, 04 May 2015 15:08:00 +0000

To say that the last 2 weeks have been eventful would be an understatement. The last post that I wrote was on the 1st of April. Till then I had lived 55 Trading days, with 22 trigger rate.

By today, it is 65 Trading days, with 32 trigger rate. It indeed makes me excited. Moreover, it doubles the excitement to state that finally I am in profits!

The last update had a composition of 19 loss making deals and the rest 3 as winning ones.

And this post has the following update in statistics since then:

23 loss making

8 winning

1 still undecided

Now let us move over to the Green back scenario:

Till the last post, losses were 50%. Though today, the GAINS are 5% in theory, but in reality the profit is almost 22%.

The difference in the theory Vs. reality is because I even out the recurring broker commissions from the trading account. The days when the open trade lingers on to 2 -3 trading days, I increase the take profit levels. More on that strategy is here.

Apart from the deals that closed, there is one deal that is still open. It is one that signaled on 57th Trading day for buying at 1174.81. I increased its take profit levels which are not yet reached. Thus, it is still open. It may close after reaching take profit levels, but will not close in loss. It is because I increased its stop loss levels to break-even levels.

I will update on my twitter once it closes, irrespective of profit or no loss. Till then enjoy in the profits, if only you were following my 100 Days trading strategy.

Also find the proof below in the image:

Post 55 Trading Days since the Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:03:00 +0000

It is 20th of April 2015 today, and I am glad that I have passed 55 trading days since the challenge. At the first instance I never thought I would have the inclination to write till here. But this post is a proof that I have finally done it.

Getting straight to the numbers; it has been 55 trading days till today.

If one were to consider 5 trading days per week, then till today it should have been 56 days. But somewhere during the good Friday day, the commodities trading was on halt. Thus, that lead to one day less, and hence the number 55.

Of these 55 trading days, I posted every trade on twitter that I had kept as a limit one. Of those 55, only 22 got triggered. Of those 22, 3 closed reaching the profit levels, leaving the rest 19 as losses. Comparing 3 to 22 seems odd, but with respect to profit and loss, things are not that bad.

If you have been following my blog for some time, then you must be aware of my trading strategy. My profit levels are 3 times to that of my loss levels. Hence, my account has 100$ in losses, even when the number of loss deals is 19. I invested 200$ for the current trading plan, out of which 100$ is at a loss. That leaves the same amount, which is 100$ left for trading.

As of now there are 33 more limit deals in my account that can trigger any day. Adding to that there are 45 more fresh deals that are upcoming. I will keep them posted on my twitter. As of now I am posting the snapshot of my account in real time since the 15th of March till today.

Post 25 Trading Days since the Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 17:11:00 +0000

Hello,

It is 8th of March 2015 for me today. This date tells me that 25 Trading days have passed since the day I started on my epic 100 Trading days challenge. Just recapping that starting February this year, I started a journal on my trading on the Gold with a mere principle of 50$. As I was about to lose it completely, I re-invested 50$ into my account. This was till my last update on the 13 trading days since starting this challenge.

Now a good quarter of time has passed; hence I am here with my update.

I have again lost 90% of my money; that means I am only left with 10$ in my account; actually 9$ since one of the deal could not be closed at the specified stop loss due to volatile market conditions.

Anyway, the crux of the matter is that I will have to again fund my account with another 50$; which I shall do tomorrow.

To sum up my deals, here is the breakdown:

Losses: 12
Gain : 1
Null : 0

This means out of 100$ dollar invested; I gained 30$ and lost 120$, so the sum total is 10$ (approx) remaining in my account.

In terms of Sell Vs. Buy deals, I lost all the Buy deals except one till date. And obviously none of the Sell deals triggered till date.

Hence, out of 25 Limit entries, 13 were of BUY, while 12 were SELL entries. All 13 are exhausted, now only 12 Sell entries are remaining.

On an average, for the 5 weeks that have passed since starting this activity, on an average each week had a trigger rate of 2.6 entries, although the major events happened in the last week.

I am planning to come up with the list of all the Limit entries in a chronological order. Shall update on that soon.

As of now I have posted the snapshot of my Closed deals as on today.

Post 25 Trading Days since the Challenge

Do let me know if there is any concern regarding all this. All that I can say is things will better up in the coming weeks for sure.

Regards
Aditi

Post 13 Trading Days since the Challenge

Hi,

It has been 13 Trading days since I started with 100 Trading Days Challenge on the 2nd of this month. I therefore thought of publishing an update to the stuff that has happened since then.

Here it goes:

1.     It has been 17 days since I first opened a deal on the Monday, 2nd of February this year.
2.     In those 17 days, I put in 13 limit orders.
3.     I went by my philosophy of Buying and Selling Trades on alternative days.
4.     Out of 13 limit trades; 5 got triggered.
5.     All those 5 closed touching the stop loss of 5 pips.
6.     All those loss making deals were BUY ones.
7.     I re-invested 50 dollars into my account as I had run out of initial equity of 50 dollars.
8.     Currently I am at 50 dollars which means I have lost 50% of my entire equity.

Now comes the important part.

DO NOT FRET. STAY IN THE GAME AND HAVE FAITH IN THE SYSTEM.

Keep following my Trading Signals on Twitter and just wait for the system to turn to your favor.

And anytime please get in touch with me for any concerns.

100 Trading Days Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Surprizezunltd) — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 18:59:00 +0000

It is a big HELLO since it has been a long while that I have updated anything here. I have been busy as usual doing a lot of stuff in my life (as usual).

All this while I earned a lot of money with my usual trading plan and therefore had been chilling in my life. All this while I wrote few articles, created stuff and cooked food and had lots of that cooked food.

Along this while I kept on receiving mails of people who follow this blog and also my related Twitter profile.

Most of the mails had the same concern, which is How to Go About Trading ?

This kind of question always perplexs me, cause I have been listing my trades and philosophy on trading on a regular basis on this blog, but still people find it difficult to trade.

Hence, I thought of putting a little ease to this concern.

That is when I came up with my 100 Trading Days Challenge plan.

Although the name says it all, but if I were to summarize in a sentence, then it is the "100 days of trading leading to a determined set target of Profit. "

Again I can get into bits and pieces of explaining that particular summary into a detailed post, which I shall surely do in days to come. But for the current time scenario, I am keeping things simple and so the one liner summary is sufficient.

Now a few pointers regarding this 100 Days Trading Plan.

This plan debunks the popular myth that Currency Trading is only for the biggies. Small time retail investors just lose money. Just for the records, I have invested a mere 50$ into my trading account.
Since I have invested a small amount, so I am sticking to just the Commodity trading with the ever so popular shining GOLD. My trading broker allows 2 units of trading it, so it works out fine with my current deposits.
I go with the Limit orders every day, so within 100 Trading Days I would have 100 limit orders in my account.
I go with both BUY and SELL options on alternate days that is one on each day.
It is very likely that by the end of this 100 Trading Days, many of the limit orders might not have executed.
My current goal is to generate a minimum of 3 times my initial Principal amount. Hence, by the end of this challenge, I should have 150$ in my account.
By my current strategy, I can take about 5 consecutive losses before my account gets to completely zilch. In that scenario or if anything similar comes up in the future during the course of this challenge, then I shall fortify my account with another 50$.
I shall be posting my limit orders by about half past 12 PM IST either here or on my twitter.
If anyone is with me following this plan, I urge you to stick to it, because it actually works.
If you are a novice trader, then seriously stay away from this challenge as you will not understand a thing and in that scenario you are going to lose money and then I am seriously not responsible.

Apart from this if there is any clarity required on this, please get back to me on the comments section below this post.

And I have updated my today's limit order on my twitter. Do have a look.

Since we all live in this insecure World, I insist on proofs, and hence provide one even when not asked. The image inserted is what I am talking about. Do not worry on the pending bonus thingy, that is the added perk I get from my trader for trading with them.

Good Luck!

Gold Medal in Metal (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Hi, I know there has been a dearth of updates from my end; and as usual I am so sorry.

In the meanwhile, while I was away, I opened 2 deals in the month of September. Both were of Gold metal and both closed after hitting a Stop Loss.

Just to mention here, one was bought at 1251.84 and the other at 1261.61 levels. Now if one gets to post-analyze these, then I did a very good thing by being adamant on my Stop-loss policy.

I say so because the market went really low after that and slipped to 1243 levels yesterday. Today where it will go I do not know, so I come with following signals for the day, after my thorough per-analysis.

Trading Signal:1 for Sep 11/14: Buy XAU/USD at 1229.6, SL:1224.6, TP:1244.6
Trading Signal:2 for Sep 11/14: Buy XAU/USD at 1219.6, SL:1209.6, TP:1249.6
Trading Signal:3 for Sep 11/14: Sell XAU/USD at 1266.49, SL:1271.49, TP:1251.49
Trading Signal:4 for Sep 11/14: Sell XAU/USD at 1276.49, SL:1266.49, TP:1246.49

Also, I have updates for the EUR/USD:

Trading Signal:5 for Sep 11/14: Buy EUR/USD at 1.2849, SL:1.2799, TP:1.2999
Trading Signal:6 for Sep 11/14: Sell EUR/USD at 1.2951, SL:1.3001, TP:1.2801

Hope you get to make profits through any of these, and get back if you need any help understanding them.

Cheers!

P.S: I also got 3 open deals on the EUR/USD as below:

Buy EUR/USD at 1.2899, SL:1.2849, TP:1.3050
Buy EUR/USD at 1.2899, SL:1.2874, TP:1.3052
Sell EUR/USD at 1.2951, SL:1.2976, TP:1.2799

I am so sorry, I missed out posting yesterday, and it so happened that I got to open a deal yesterday and also got to close another one. I so regret being tired yesterday, else I certainly would have come up with my daily trading signals on Gold i.e. XAU/USD pair.

So, anyway, for this month of September, I have 1 open long deal right now, that opened yesterday when the market suddenly crashed. Also, the carry forwarded deal from August finally closed with a 2 dollar profit. I know it is very very less compared to the profit that I was garnering a week back on it. But I cannot help it, I am little too strict on not bending from my forex rules. But in a way, it is all good till deals close in an overall profit.

Moreover today, I have had a good sleep so my signals are also here as follows:

Trading Signal:1 for Sep 03/14: Buy XAU/USD at 1249.2, SL:1244.2, TP:1264.2
Trading Signal:2 for Sep 03/14: Buy XAU/USD at 1239.2, SL:1229.2, TP:1269.2
Trading Signal:3 for Sep 03/14: Sell XAU/USD at 1284.55, SL:1289.55, TP:1269.55
Trading Signal:4 for Sep 03/14: Sell XAU/USD at 1294.55, SL:1304.55, TP:1264.55

And the details of the existing open deal:
Buy XAU/USD at 1266.65, SL: 1261.65, TP: 1282.65

Happy Trading !!

Hi,

I just thought of including my state of the Forex account as on today, i.e. post August trading, which is as follows:

All over in the month of August I ended up opening 3 trades.

1. One closed with a loss of 5 pips.
2. One closed with a gain of 15 pips.
3. Third is still open with a as-of-now gain of 10 pips.

So, overall the realized gain for the month of August has been 10 pips; and being converted into percentage it becomes a gain of 20%.

Considering a time span of a mere 30 days, it is a very good growth figure, but measuring it up to my own standards of growth measurement, it is a loss. I say so because I am used to making a minimum of 100% growth in a month. But nevertheless, the growth is always positive.

Now coming to the learning part :

I feel I could have closed the yet-to-close deal when it went to 1296 levels, but I did not. I was kind of taken away by the going-a-little-longer on the deal emotion. If that would have happened, then I would have crossed a 60% growth on the month of August. But now there is no point discussing that.

So, as of now I am entering the month of September with an open carry forward deal from August; and will publish the signals as and when I spot them.

Stay tuned!!!

Hello people,

I know I have been absconding for a long time, a month to be precise. But I can explain that. I have recently got a lot of projects and therefore I am really short of time to post real analytical posts here. But nevertheless, I have always been efficient in posting the deals that I open or close on my twitter.

So, I have not been inefficient in coming up with the signals, but yes I have been less proactive in coming up with the analysis.

So, now today that I have some time in hand, so I thought of writing down few analysis for the week.

Firstly, talking of my favourite pair, the EUR/USD. So, it has been a while that it has not fallen like cats and dogs, so a fall is pretty much anticipated, for sure. But in the right now current scenario, the trend seems a little unclear. I mean looking at my favourite time graph, 4-H chart, I am clueless. It might go up, or it would come down falling. Therefore, in this state of uncertainty, I am going slow and steady. My signals for the day for the pair are as follows:

Sell EUR/USD at 1.3701 for a profit of 20 pips, and no loss for the time being. Though I do not recommend this for anyone inexperienced, cause it requires a basic and firm understanding along with a good sizable amount of margin.

Now coming to the glittering Gold, I strongly feel that it is going to crash anytime soon. I therefore recommend selling it for sure. So, I have put in 2 deals for the same, both of low risk low reward strategy.

So, here I have 2 short deals for Gold, one at 1246 and the other at 1251.

For both I have no set stop loss, and the profit is 5 pips. Thats it.

Hope it helps; if any update happens, will surely update on twitter.

Thanks and have a good day.

Hi, The Sell deal that I opened yesterday is still open. I do not have much time, so just putting my signals for the day quick.

Sell EUR/USD at 1.3801 for a profit of 50 pips and a profit of 150.

Also, with the last deal at 1.3751, the stop loss can be removed, else keep it if it freaks you to remove.

Good day and happy trading ahead.

A quick update on whats happenning with my forex account. So, the last week I went shoet with 3 deals, one at 1.3701, one at 1.3751 and the other at 1.3801. The first 2 had hit the stop loss levels and luckily the last one gained a profit.

That means since last week I have been on a loss of 50 pips.

Now looking forward from here, I have again put an entry deal at 1.3751 to short for a profit of 50 pips and yet again a loss of 50.

Rest I will update on my twitter.

Happy Trading..

Hi,

I am just updating that my last deal of shorting EUR/USD at 1.3701 on Monday closed when the stop loss at 1.3751 was reached.

So, now the signals are as follows:

Sell at 1.3751 as well as 1.3801. I am not keeping an stop losses for these, though I do not suggest the same for anybody. I have funded my account well, so I would not see it blown up any time soon.

But each one to his/her own; hence a stop loss of 50 pips for both the deals will be fine.

There is a reason for me to go without a stop loss today. As per me, the market has achieved the highs for a long time now, and any time soon it will see the reversal of the long trend. Hence, any time a shorting trend will begin.

I will update the outcome as soon as it happens. Till then enjoy and keep trading.

Deal with This (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Hi, the last deal of mine I closed after gaining 50 pips. I updated the same on twitter.

So, now it is the new week and hence the time for a new deal. I am again in a mood for going short this week.

I therefore, have the following recommendations:

Short at 1.3701 for a profit of 50 pips as well as a stop loss of same amount of pips.

I kept such a small take profit, because the market has the capacity to reach higher than this, hence I will not ruin my chances of closing the deal at a loss.

Hence, I have kept a neither here nor there kind of a deal today. If the market reaches more heights in this week, then I will keep a bigger take profit. Then probably my short deals will open from 1.3801 levels.

Will surely update once I do the same.

Till then target is on this one.

Take care and keep trading.

I love Wednesdays, because this day accounts for the entire action for the week. Especially when it is the first week of the month.

As I wrote on Monday, I still see a major shorting coming up.

I am still strong on the short deal at 1.3601. The stop loss at 50 pips and the profit levels of 150 are good to me.

So, I am still strong on it and I am waiting for the announcements for the day which include the news announcemnts of Non-manufacturing PMI.

That will be the moment when this particualr open deal will be put to a test.

Luckily, I am stringent with the stop loss, hence I will not lose much even if my signal turns the opposite way.

So, there is nothing much to do except doing the classic wait and watch.....

and I shall update the outcome tomorrow.

Till then, have a fun trading day ahead.

Thanksgiving at the Trolls (Photo credit: martha_chapa95)

Hello after a long time. I actually took a break from trading due to the erratic movements of the market during the Thanksgiving.

I generally stay away from trading during such major events. The reason is simple. The anxiety in the market is at its peak, and therefore the signals do not come clear and appropriate.

I had gained some 132 odd pips in my account, hence I withdrew and did not indulge in much and took a kind of break.

But now, I am back to my daily business, and therefore the signals for the day are as follows:

Short the EUR/USD pair at 1.3601 for a profit of 100 pips and a stop loss of 50. A strategy to move the loss 25 pips once the profit inches 50 pips will be a good idea to gain more and loose less.

I go that way and earn, so can you.

I am in favor for the short side, because the Price action theory suggests so for my favourite 4 HR time frame.

Hope you make some pips and enjoy the first week of this last month of this year.

Cheers.

This day today haunts me, cause this is my dad's first birthday after his death.

I thought of staying away from any trading today, but then when my mind started wandering to all things depressing, I slyly took it up.

So, coming back to business as usual; the yesterday's signal went down to drain, causing a loss of 25 pips. But hang on, this was not that bad, because I recovered a bit of those lost pips by about 10. Hence, the overall loss for yesterday comes to a mere 15 pips.

I know I have not updated on the recovery part, that was simply because it happened so quick, and I therefore had no time to update here.

Therefore, as an initiative to present all signals in a better way, I have decided to tweet in a jiffy for moments like these.

Anyway, as of now the market seems to have gained a lot; I suppose that is what it does before reversing it's trend.

So, now I have opened a Short deal at 1.3559, though I suggest any value above this figure would be good. Though, I wanted my deal to be at 1.3561. I am not going to rue at that one. Rather, I better play safe by keeping stop losses and take profits. So, a stop loss of 50 pips and a profit of 100 does me good.

Though I keep moving the loss by 10 pips, the moment my profit crosses landmarks of 5 pips. Hence, by the time I gain 50 pips, I come to a no loss scenario. So, I am assured of not losing anything in a particular trade once I have gained 50 pips on it. Although, I do lose out on profits, because after that even if the market changes the trend, I do not then lower the loss levels. Therefore, my strategy always focuses to lose less rather than gaining more.

By the time I have written this, the market has changed it's mood. Please do not be surprised if I post an update on Twitter any time soon.

Till then enjoy!!

So, the start of the week yesterday was not that good. Since, the stop loss of 50 pips was intact, hence the loss was limited to that. This is one of the many reasons why I really love to trade in this volatile currency market.

Anyway, I still maintain my stand as yesterday that the market is bound for some movement downwards. Hence, I have put in a short deal at 1.3509 levels for a stop loss and a take profit level of 25 pips each. Also, I plan to get into a rolling take profit and loss schedule once the market starts rolling more downwards.

If in any case it does not, then I will be happy with a loss of 25 pips in this deal today. I know I could have initiated another short deal 12 hours back when my last short deal closed with a loss. But I am a strict disciplinarian when it comes to the forex market. Hence, I refrained from doing that yesterday, and instead I am doing it now, and I have kind of done it. LOL

Also, for the scalping deal, one short at 1.3461, another long one at 1.3459. Both have a stop loss of 10 pips and a take profit of 30 pips.

I also want to mention that it is the Stochastics and RSI, that make me go firm on my shorting decision. I am very likely to move the take profit and stop loss levels.

P.S: If there is any other update to the trading signals for today, I shall update the same as a corollary to today's post.

It is the start of another week, and therefore another day of trading to get a chance to earn some green back.

Hence, getting to the signals for the day - Today the pivot for the day as of now is 1.3430.

Therefore, following are trading signals for the EUR/USD pair:

1. Short the pair at any levels anywhere up to 1.3430; I traded at 1.3491 for 25 pips, which closes at
    1.3466. Also, a stop loss of 50 pips, mine is at 1.3541.

2. 2 Scalping deals; one short at 1.3431, another long one at 1.3429. Both have a stop loss of 10 pips and a
    take profit of 30 pips. Hence, either a profit of 20 pips or a loss of the same amount is definite. Just to
    mention that on the last trading day, i.e. on Friday , 15th November, our scalping closed at stop loss, so I
    am a little expectant for the profits today.

Do not know what will happen, but in a worst case scenario, either I will end up with a loss of 50 pips on the 1st trading deal or loss on both that deal as well as the scalping deal, leading to a cumulative loss of 70 pips.

But if all goes good; I will end up in 55 pips profit. Let us see for ourselves what happens during the course of the day.

Till then, have a good and profitable day.

P.S: If there is any other update to the trading signals for today, I shall update the same as a corollary to today's post.

The One and Only (Gladys Knight & the Pips album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I happy to state that the signals on Sunday, Nov 17 2013 closed in profit. If anyone followed my signal, then I am happy that you ended in profits.

Looking at a thread-bare analysis of the same, the long deal at 1.3355 closed with a 25 pips profit at 1.3380.

But on the other hand, both of the scalping deals closed with a stop loss, resulting in a loss of 20 pips.

Hence, the overall result came down to a gain of 5 pips.

This would have made little sense if were dealing with a small lot, but with a macro account, it could mean huge.

Well, as long as there is no loss of pips, everything else is a profit; even a situation of no gain.

So, I hope with my daily update of signals on my blog, each one of you could gain some pips in the Forex market.

Further, I hope you enjoy this weekend, see you tomorrow.
