Day 21 - "First double"
One step closer to the plan. Today I was able to cash in some nice profits by closing the open position from friday USD/CHF. I left positions open so today just two positions were booked. My profit was 10,61 $ (without the open positions which I expect to turn into my favour).
Open Positions: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, AUD/USD

Day 17 - "The Pause Part2"
As mentioned in the last post today I had my presentation so I did not have time to check the market and trade. Since I havent slept for about 35 hours I just didnt have the the power to focus and placed just 2 positions which I considered as a good Idea to trade. 2 of my monday positions were stoped automaticly (USD/CHF by Stoploss -3,57 $ and EUR/GBP by the Takeprofit 1,15$ ) In the end I took a loss of -2,42 $ or to be more percise a total loss -8,62 if I add the missed day-Profit of 6,20 $. Unfortunately the week started horribel since I just had no time for trading, but I will give my best to atch up with the plan.

Day 16 - "No time No profit"
Today I was unfortunately not able to trade as much I want to. First problem Tomorrow I have a important presentation for my study which I have to prepare second I have to work the nightshift to.. so Im realy under time Pressure today. As you can imagine I had no time to analyse the charts ad so I tried to do at least a minimum of trades and traded 3 positions as you can see bellow. Set for all TakeProfit and StopLoss. Since I just wasn't able to monitor the trades I just relied on the SL and TP.

Because No Profit Or Loss was booked this day, here you can see a list of executed positions:

Day 15 - "less then expected but ok "
Today I did some pretty stupid moves so my profit as the market closed was 3,28 $ Ok its better then nothing or a loss, but it bothers me that I did not secured the safe profit of about 10 $. I ignored the number one Rule "contol your greed" ! So in the end even if I made some Profit it was under the targeted 5,79 $. I'm still few $ ahead of the plan.

Day 11 - "Targeted Profit quadrupled!"
Today was a day I would consider a perfect one :) I got into the market with 2 open positions from Friday (both in loss) and was prepered to take a huge loss. Along the way I placed other trades and was hoping to take little profits to keep the overall-loss as small as possible. For a few hours I had to go to the faculty and was not online, so I placed some very modest Takeprofit orders and as I came home none of theme were executed yet, but the Profit was more then enough for me so i closed them all as fast as I could. Because the booking of the Trades takes several hours and I didnt wanted to let you wait I took a screenshot just before I closed all positions. Because of the spread and the pricechange I did not get exactly as much as you see on the screen but its ca. + 22,38 $

update:
Unfortunately the states changed because there were more positions that were not booked at this point. So this day was actually a loss.

Today I placed 2 trades in the morning and hoped to find time to do some more during the day , but I just did not find a minute to get on a pc. I will let the positions open.

Day 5 - No Access to trading account
As described my mistake of asuming that the ID-Confirmation had arrived already to my broker, i got suspended for several hours so i did not have acess all the day and some trades without SL kicked my ass bad. Loss 15,04 $ some open positions left untill monday.

Day 4 - Owned by the market
Sure I was prepered to take losses, and today was a day with some of those I lost 17,22. Sure im pretty pissed off as you can imagine, but thats the way it goes. I let some positions open without SL which was not a good idea, because the ID-Confirmation mail i sent to my Broker didnt arrive as i assumed, my account was suspended for several hours for this reason:( I called them and they will fix it the next day in the morning. So I was not able to do anything with the open positions, which is certainly not a good thing.

My Name is Arslan im an architecture student living in Germany. Since the young age of 15 I've been interested in trading stocks and recently I started trading the FOREX market aswell. Since I like challenges I thought it might be interesting to try trading 100 $ into one Million $ in the short period of one year. Neither do I consider myself a "Inverstment-Guru" nor do I follow some fancy secret methods of such a person, rather I stick to the
