 [link] [comments] Tripling my accounts equity in 0 months! Hey Daytrading, I'm a 00 year old uni student, currently studying quite a bit of mathematics and weirdly enough majoring in Physiology, and was introduced to trading at 00, I used to "trade" with my dad back then, however he was trading with a market maker at the time and he copped a net $00000 loss. I have had a successful history paper trading since , and 0 months ago decided to tackle trading with real money, and have more than tripled my accounts earnings. I have also attached proof of my first and final trade, and a brief account summary. So about 0 months ago, I posted a question on this subreddit, asking whether "scalping indices was as easy as it seems?", at the time I was trading on a $00,000 demo account and was making consistent profits of at least 00% on the days I would trade, however I was quite skeptical of the large returns, and questioned this rapid success on this subreddit. Regardless, after this prolonged period of demo trading, I had saved up $0000 to open up a trading account (with an ECN/STP broker btw), to test the waters trading real money, and to see if I could replicate this success in a real trading account. I did. On the first day, I made $000, with no losing positions, this initial success got to my head and I entered a few losing trades the following days of that week, however in the end resulted positive. Long story short in the span of 0 months my $0000 account grew to now almost $00000 (also notable, I did deposit an extra $0000 at one point to maintain a decent margin level after a big losing trade), and more than 00% of the positions i have opened have been in the green, with consistent profits weekly. As indicated by my post 0 months ago, I mainly scalp index CFD's, however trading with real money, I have found myself keeping positions a bit longer than what a scalper would. I have stayed away from Forex, and have attempted to trade Amazon and Tesla. I'm probably going to continue trading and hopefully continue my account growth. I am planning to day trade with a 00k account and withdrawing profits weekly. I am 00 and a career trading is looking more like an option for me. I'm really trying to get a job or internship at a trading firm, because I believe that would be an invaluable experience, and could possibly kickstart a career for me in trading. Anyways, I hope i didn't come off as arrogant or boastful, I just wanted to share my personal experience trading. TL;DR: Started with a $0000 trading account, which I grew to $00000 in 0 months, by mainly day trading index CFD's and a little bit of stock CFD's. Attached proof. https://preview.redd.it/0tss00h00ql00.jpg?width=000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b000f0000cfb000000a0e0bdc0b000000fa000f ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/jny0byga0ql00.png?width=000&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0b0c00a000d000e0ea00f0000ba00c00e0f000a EDIT: I haven't been trading stocks guys, i thought i made it clear that my my main strategy was scalping indices, my post 0 months ago on this subreddit was literally asking why i found "scalping indices so easy", so the argument that I've just gotten lucky these past 0 months is redundant, 0 months ago the market was completely different to what it is now, regardless I havent even been trading stocks (less than 0% of my profits are from stocks) Also, yeh i dont use stop losses, come at me 🤣 submitted by MohamedBR to Daytrading [link] [comments]
