Week 3
Week Ending 9/15/17

I hate having results this bad as much as you hate seeing them.
Usually, it takes a little bit longer into my trading campaign before I do anything this bad.
※ It is important that I remain unafraid of having failures. ※
IT DOESN'T MATTER how well I handle trading decisions during the lower-leverage phases, if I lose discipline during the higher-leverage phases AND refuse to bring my leverage back lower once I have raised it for the week, I will never be able to move forward consistently.
My major losses were on EA.
When I looked back on the chart at the end of the week, I saw that the D1 chart had about 11 D1 candles of horizontal, overlapping consolidation.
Somehow I kept thinking that I saw enough clues on the lower timeframes to show that PA would breakout Short from the consolidation, so I stayed at the higher leverages since a breakout on the D1 chart at higher leverages would make up for all my losses.
I really would like to trade this week to maintain my trading focus, but I do have to get ready for a trip coming up and then there might be a 2-3 week gap that I don't trade since I am traveling.

I don't understand how you get to -12%
If your risk is 2% initially then your loss should be -2% no matter how high your lot sizes went (assuming price didn't come crashing through your '0 line' at full size).
Let's say that you set aside 2% for 3 days of trading...
you might divvy it up like so:
a. 0.5%
b. 0.5%
c. 0.5%
d. 0.5%
with each being a segment of risk.
So now you risk 0.5%, end up making 0.75%, and spread the OPM like so:
a. 0.5% + 0.1875%
b. 0.5% + 0.1875%
c. 0.5% + 0.1875%
d. 0.5% + 0.1875%
You lose a trade and now it looks like this:
x.
b. 0.5% + 0.1875%
c. 0.5% + 0.1875%
d. 0.5% + 0.1875%
As you can see, the end result is -2% no matter how much money is added.
You would have to blow up 4.8 boxes of 2.5% risk to get to -12% and every
trade would have to be a loser...
Is it possible that you have made a miscalculation somewhere?

Euro and Aud are both strong right now, hence why its moving sideways. I use to always try to see PA breaking out on the smaller time frames and try to justify holding it long term, just to get stopped out. Just scalp in and out for right now and wait for the Daily to shine a huge light to as which way it may go. E/C has a potential sell setting up, which if oil breaks above 50 should give it a reason to sell off. 1.4200 looks to be a good TP
