So I went ahead and increased my fixed fractional position sizing money management to 3% lost and 4% won, per trade. This will increase drawdowns, but I believe it will benefit me in the long run. I was going to wait until I was exactly a year in, but that would be just in the interest of easier reporting on what my first year would have been, and at the end of the day my account balance matters more than doing a few more calculations in Excel.

Didn't have any trades today, but a few closed from yesterday.

ZzZzZzZ...

Oh, wait, you mean to tell me I finally stay up during my trading hours and it's boring as all hell?! Of course. Successful trading is supposed to be boring, they say.

Had one win, one loss back on the 4th. One trade today for a loss. Market blew through my SL and never looked back!

Finally had some trades to begin March with. I missed one due to being asleep (ugggh), but caught the other two. All three were wins, and I think it would have been my most profitable day (by raw $) so far had I caught the first trade. It marks a new equity high on the theoretical equity curve (+51.2%), and increases the gap between my actual results and theoretical ones :\
