Every bit of that is included in the public account, Qui. It has every detail...trade entry price, trade exit price, how many units were used, etc.

When you click on the public account link, there are tabs that can be accessed all over the place. Just start clicking on them and you can get all of that information and more. The History tab under the Trading Activity section near the bottom is more than likely what you want.

Also, when you're looking through the trade history using that tab, pay close attention to the small charts on the right hand side. If you hover over each chart, it gives you detailed information such as entry accuracy, exit accuracy, how much profit you left on the table, the risk vs. reward ratio and so on.

Absolutely everything about that account is public with the exception of the account number only. All other details are fully revealed with nothing hidden.

Here's the best "rule of thumb" trading practice you could ever have Qui...

If you take trades and you're bored and don't really worry about watching the charts much afterwards while you're trade is running, then you're probably in at about the right percentage of risk level for you as an individual.

But if the trade makes your butt pucker enough to bite holes in your seat when the trade runs against you, then you're in too heavy.

Same with time frame selection preference...if you take the trade and you're willing to let it run to completion regardless of how long it takes, then you're comfortable with the time frame you're trading.

If you get exasperated and impatient with the trade and you're tired of waiting on it to get to your target, then you're trading the wrong time frame.

Simple as that...the easy solution is to find the risk factor and patience factor that is comfortable for you as an individual. It's different for everybody.
