Experienced Traders: Help me identify which stage I’m in?
I’m reaching out to those who have been trading for several years. Based on my current progress, can you help me understand which stage of the trader's journey I am in and what I should expect next?
My Strategy: I am using backtested setups for trading Futures (Currencies, Soybean, and Gold). I have followed them strictly for the past 2 months and am up 32% on real money- mostly helped by revent volatility.
Trading History: I started trading 7months ago. After a volatile start where I gained and lost upto 20% of my account in a single day, I went back to learning. I’ve since settled on strictly trading 1-2 micro futures contracts and simple trend-following strategies on 30 min time frame.
My Background: I transitioned from a 15-year career in tech analytics, so I am comfortable with technicals
It’s been quite a journey so far, and I’m hoping to keep this momentum going. Should i try to increase number of contracts or continue as is?
Thanks in advance for your insights!
