Comment:
I have been lossing for the last 3 trades. I did what I supposed to do. I followed my trading rules. It did not work at my favour, so I will have to be calm and keep on trying as long as I follow my rules.
Note:
1. One points of CPO Future = RM 25
2. Commission needed for buy and sell is RM50 so we need 2 points to break even
3. Margin (Minimum Deposit for holding overnight) = RM 8000
4. I have RM 37,350 as deposit and now RM 36,100 after the loss of RM 1250
