So here are the results of the 1 month trading in a live account where I am now as of Monday 18th November... scaling into with a $10k account. I made $1192.70 with a $1000 account, a 119% increase. We are using a highly leveraged account to achieve this but the drawdowns have been manageable..

I wanted to put this post up to remind myself of a lesson which I seem to have forgotten and cost me today and that is... "ensuring that your stop is in the right place"
