Hi Guys,
I am finally making the sad decision to close my Personal account and will withdraw the remaining funds tomorrow. I don't feel I have enough funds to continue trading with the fixed lot I have been using, and I would like to use the leftover funds for a family holiday coming up soon. I have lost about $80K back since the peak in February 2018 and I am still up more than $180K in profit, but it's just hard to continue trading with my current fixed lot size as I don't really know when the tide will turn. I still believe it should be soon and I have a funny feeling that next week's UK parliament vote on Brexit may well be the event we've been waiting for, but my Personal account simply doesn't have enough margin left if the EA opens too many trades.
Nevertheless, I still have full confidence in Joel's EAs in the long term, so I will continue trading the SFE PA Autolot High Risk signal account with the $6K left in there, and I am going to start running SFE Night Scalper on it at 1.5x recommended risk as well. My plan is to gradually add more funds into this account (eg. $1000 per month) and treat it as a long term investment account. I will also completely stop trading manually, as I have also lost a fair bit recently on some manual trades that didn't go well - I have once again convinced myself that trading manually is just another form of gambling for me.
