I have just past my first year anniversary of live trading and am just under 5% down since I started. I got into robots as a way of earning some money when I retire from my day job (I am a Project Management consultant). The robots just lost money then I stumbled on to Dean Saunders LMT and then to Marc's site.
I have learnt more since Sep 09 than I did the previous 18 months demoing and live.
My objectives for this year are:
1. My live account to be in a positive state at 31 Dec 10
2. To make 50 pips a week.
My preference is to daily trading, so I look for traps I can set and then see if Marc's video agrees with me. If it does I place the trade (max 2% of my kitty). If there is no reference I don't place the trade. I only place a maximum of one trade a night and generally on one of the following pairs EURGBP, EURUSD and GBPUSD. I am trying to get to know those pairs before adding others.
My favourite strategies are Marc's M1 and M2. So simle and generally they work.
I also have LMT running. If I am working at home for a day or two then I will use LMT 4hr and a little gem I have found called Pipsnager, its only on demo at the moment but looks very promising.
Looking forward to speaking with you guys over the comming year. You never know I might be able to bring my retirement forward a year or two.
