I´m funding my account this week, I´ll take live trades slowly, alternating with sim. Trade safe man....

Cool @Abiel best of luck! I am going to post all trades here, just like I am doing for the SIMM.

I'm funding my account this week, planning to go live in July after 4 months sim. I think a support group is a fantastic idea.

Let’s do it!

I'm supposed to but... I haven't been as consistent as I was hoping to be by now.  I've recently been taking bigger and bigger losses. We'll see in the next week or so.

I'm funding my account this week.. Depending on how much time takes the transfer, I'll be live next week.

Yeah.. IB. I already transferred some funds a few weeks ago when I opened the account, and it took a few business days probably because it was the first time. 
In case is the same day then next Monday will be my first day. I'd like to start clean on a Monday..

Hi all. I went live end of last week. i made small profits as I wanted (taking it slow was the plan to get momentum and confidence),but on Monday and today i had a bad day.  i started to ignore my rules, took revenge trades, overtraded, hoped for a lucky punch. I traded like a jack-ass. In simulator, i can trade like a king, but live is another game!  really didnt expect that! I have to be careful not to blow up my account.

It is another ball game for sure!
We all done it, even after reading it over and over again in our forums or books of all the things not to do. When you go live and emotions take over is when you really understand everything you have been studying and learning. 

Keep focus and just continue to control those emotions. Most importantly keep positions small. Wish you and everyone else going live this month much luck! Keep us posted on your progress!

Anyway we can help let us know. 👍

My plan to start trading live is to take one trade daily on A setups with good risk reward ratios, small size. Just one trade, so I will be very picky with my trades. If I don´t see good setups, no live trade. If my trade doesn´t work, I´ll keep trading in sim and try the next day...

Need to rectify my account with IB. I have to link it to a USD account not CAD, that is why verification is not working.
