Micro account build

An attempt to flip a tiny account into a notable amount of money. This started as just a fun little thing but it never worked trying various ways to do it. Over time it's developed into fairly complex side-bet between a friend and I. Which we've went back and forth on the terms of and now have an "Interesting bet".

​

Terms:

​

Good for me:

​

  • I can pick my starting day. Picking today. Waited a while. Today feels right.
  • Can pick any broker. I picked a broker that lets me trade SPX at $0.01 per $1 move in the underlying and only charges me an average spread of $0.40 on the underlying.
  • Can trade any asset available on the account (And I've access to FX and CFDs on various things).

​

Good for them:

  • I am not allowed to drawdown over 35% of starting equity.
  • If I compound, I can not drawdown more than 15%.
  • If I do not compound, I need to cash out 25% for each 200% made (Will probably opt for this one).
  • Leverage is capped to 1:50.
  • I have to journal all trade entries/exits (Can not use any form of automation).

The main bet we have is them betting against me making $50,000 in profit. We've also got a side-bet on that for $500,000 in profit but both of us have various ways to buy out of that bet early. I won't say how much we're betting but I have 1:4 odds and neither of us would like to lose (To each other).

Will give some more info later. Part of the rules are I need to post any positions before they make a significant profit (%). So here are current positions.

Plan is to reduce the size of these as they go into profit or stop out into the first pop up. I need to reduce my position size by at least 75% before the close (Gap risk).

Things to know about Forex

We're going to start posting more about Forex setups and opportunities. The Forex (FX) market is not well understood by all, so here's some important things to note if considering FX trades/strategies. ​ The Forex market is a trader's market Forex markets are not easy, but they can be worth it. The FX markets are by far the largest of the available markets to trade. Usually here people quote how many trillion a day is turned over in the FX markets but I've not looked it up recently and it really does not matter - the real underlying benefit of the size of the Forex markets is the spreads (Fees) are very low and it's easy to trade large positions. A negative laid against the FX markets is there's a history of banks being fined for manipulating them. My viewpoint on this has always been if there's manipulation there's design. Where there's design, there's opportunity if one can work out enough about the design to create some betting edges. Fo...

Bear have more of a case here (But only with a small area of risk).

We’ve not seen anything notable bearish of late but we are now getting back into the sort of zone where we’d be likely to see bears if it is indeed the case we’re in a shallow bull trap on a weekly/monthly chart. Bears have not yet broken (And they might not) - but this is a time to be aware of the risks and where there’s again reasonable odds betting on a big bear move. Real further analysis and actionable break levels here. Bear break contingency plans - by HoleyProfit (substack.com) ​ TLDR: Short 4160. Stop 4179.
