I keep a very tight and conservative trade rules, I only require 21 pips a day average, and 105 pips a week, anything above that is fine, but I never pressure myself to make trades or money, that will ruin you as a trader.
Take a little bit here and there, add it to the account, and don't hold trades for hours or days, those were the type of trades that cost me 10,000 in a week and 3,000.00 in one day.
Be good, bed time.
