The first day was not as exciting as I wanted it to be. The trading ground reality struck immediately when I lost that first trade sublime opportunity and missed at least 50 pips. So I came back to my senses. There are two sides of trading positive and negative. And how you handle both defines your personality and trading success. So far trading has defined me as a greedy coward. Perhaps everybody is like that naturally. Now to refine that personality takes a little bit of courage, trading wisdom and confidence in your trading wisdom.Professionaly speaking I handled the first day jitters reasonably successfully. Although the negative side was dominating the battle I was successful in limiting the draw down to 11 % in 7 trades. Among successful trades 2 belonged to GBPUSD with +8 pips in total. One belonged to NZDUSD +8 pips. Among negative trades two belonged to AUDUSD with -8, -5 pips. And one each EURUSD -8 pips. USDCHF -13 pips. So the net result was +16-34= -18 pips.Interestingly my Automated strategy showed exactly the same result in the sense that it also had 3 successful trades out of 7 total trades. Since it is using maximum leverage the drawdown was 34 %.I would be more selective and conservative in my trading ventures today and will be back with today's trading report tommorrow. I shall add todays trades in the Comments section as they hit my pending orders.
