I like your descriptions. I especially like the fundamental aspects, although sometimes that can go awry because they you have to take into account the reason the interest rates are lowered or risen (ie economy strength). But it looks good, too bad it is not the real account, as you know, all the demons come out and play when it is the real thing. Looking forward to your journal posts.

I've known a lot of trader who got rich trading the long term swing, that's what paid for their houses, they only play the short term for fun and boredom.
