The account is small &#8211; can&#8217;t handle any drawdown. But the original entry was not bad. Again &#8211; I took it from my phone, but only after remotely connecting to my laptop\/VPS and looking at the chart. It&#8217;s still better to view the chart on a bigger screen and switch around to get your multi-timeframe analysis, but it did help. I really should have held it to the zone, but still managed to grab 64 pips in total for the day. A larger lot size was used on one of the positions (accidentally) so the account is now up to $19.52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it&#8217;s Thursday and I&#8217;ve hit my targets, I&#8217;m done for the week. Even though I could take something in the course of the day or in the evening &#8211; I don&#8217;t want to. Whether by the accidental trade or not, that&#8217;s more than 50% profit without the accidental larger lot size and almost 100% profit with the accidental larger lot size. There&#8217;s no need for me to do anything more &#8211; but I did go back in to &#8220;round up&#8221; the number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e195f2e142a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e195f2e142a\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"369\" height=\"270\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71\" srcset=\"https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-24.png 369w, https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-24-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e195f2e16b2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e195f2e16b2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"397\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-25-1024x397.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-25-1024x397.png 1024w, https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-25-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-25-768x298.png 768w, https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-25-1536x596.png 1536w, https:\/\/876forex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-25.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So now that I&#8217;m back at $20 &#8211; which is where I blew it last &#8211; let&#8217;s get back to $100+ and move forward.
