started trading in 2009 after buying a book by mike jalland. like many I had a few weeks or months of brilliant success followed by a few bad trades and destroying the account. 11 years later Im finally producing proffits with a mix of manual and auto trading.
Im an engineer by trade, ex rolls royce gas turbine R&D CAD designer, now high precision machinist welder fabricator. the trading charts are always running on the laptop in my workshop. running several automated systems but always being watched by me from a distance.

its just a little bit short of 29k today, I was around the same level 2 weeks ago but took some drastic action to reduce the quickly growing drawdown. GB was shooting up and looking like it was going to keep going, so I closed around 6k to make it more manageable. Its all recovered now and added a few hundred extra to the balance. Maybe we will hit 30k this week.
I seem to have well and truly overcome the "loss aversion" disease that is responsible for wiping many a trading account. Dont run and hide when the drawdown grows and hope it will all be ok. Thats when trading becomes gambling. Attack those bad trades, reduce and/or remove whatever is needed. 6K is the most ive ever lost in a day in my 11 year history, but 2 weeks later all recovered and then some, previously I could have quite easily been now saving up for another deposit to restart the account from zero.

just passed 16k. I remember I gave myself what I thought was a very optimistic target of 9k by mid march from the first year of robot trading.
the very sharp increase in the last few weeks is from a mix of the same robot but with manual assistance from me.
my second year loose target was 70k. If things continue as they are, I will hit that target by late summer.

we just had about a week of drawdown reduction, once it goes over 10% more of the profits are used to reduce the loosing trades, plus one or two extra methods to keep everything under control. its back down around 5% now and back in profit building mode

something wonderful this way approaches. Layercake it seems may be close to perfection.
early prototype versions have produced £850 profit in 6 weeks with less than 10%DD.
new developments are doing a bit better, and be safe from large market shocks and flash crashes.

well that was interesting. i was stuck in a series of trades for 3 months while GB was rising. i closed the last trade a few days ago. my smaller account was blown, the bigger one survived. the robot has been updated and changed, it was quietly working to close the old trades from the previous system, that is complete now and has resumed profit building mode.
