Profit & Loss

We wonder the myth of Real Trading vs Demo Trading, the result must be different?
I am going to record all Demo Trades, and the difference between Demo vs. Live.

4-May-2011:
Putting up Forecast + Posting up the trades done + doing the math is not an easy job. But it is a must-do that will trace your learning curve, and by doing so, you effectively monitor your actions and the consequences. Recently I am getting more commitment and I need to focus on 3 major events until end of August 2011.

Thus the trades will not be updated so often here, but my objective for putting up my PnL is not for show, but we are simply proud of ourselves because we follow the rules and make sure every trade is entered with proper stop loss and a positive Risk : Reward ratio. Objectives must be intact = for short term trading 1:2 = Risk : Reward; for intraday trade 1:3 = Risk : Reward.
