I made money off this trade I think my profit was $100 but if I would have stayed in I would have made hundreds of dollars. Anymore I usually just grab a profit as soon as I can get it. But I’d rather not trade that way. When I stay in a trade I’ve seen it too many times where a $100 profit turns into a $100 loss. If your account is less than 10 K and you’re trading futures and your goal is 5% of your account that won’t sit well with you. At least it doesn’t with me and I have a strong tolerance for pain. I’ve sat on $300 and $400 losses. It’s not fun when you NEED to make money every day. I don’t do this for fun.
I don’t trade any of the APEX systems anymore. I use the APEX indicators to help me read the market but that’s it. I’m trying to develop my own style and system using the Apex indicators.
How are you doing? Are you able to trade for a living? I"m looking for a mentor who started trading futures with an account of less than 10K and now earns a living trading. I’m not sure it can be done with that size account but if you know of anyone out there I’d love to meet them.
