Hi everyone,

Maybe a few of you remember my article last month about deceiving stats where I started a micro account just to show how an account could display stats above 8.000% returns, well now it has crossed the 13.000% returns. lol

I have explained on this article https://medium.com/@CLHedgeFund/dont-trust-stats-or-pip-count-32d2f13a4b54 how the impact of time/deposits/withdrawals can massively impact the stats.

It is now 3 months that I keep trading this small Play account as I called it and have been focusing on achieving a target and trying to scale it up. So here are the real results of this last 3 months on this Play account.

Total profits=116.63$
Total realized returns=38.66%
Average Daily realized profits since start=0.577%
Maximum Realized Daily Return=3.71%
Minimum Realized Daily Return=-0.32%
Realized Daily Return Standard Deviation= 0.61%

Remember it is a micro account (1lot=1.000units) and allows great risk management and money management.

I keep still seeing people trading 20$ on standard accounts (1lot=100.000units) where you are limited in your risk management and money management.

Focus on the % (percentages), not the $ (dollars).

Of course making 20% profits on a 20$ account won’t be able to pay you a dinner, that is why you need to focus on saving in the start and then later focus on your investment decisions.

Any questions you have let me know, but maybe scroll down my articles you might find anything interested that suits you.
