Disliked{quote} Hi there patience and discipline are an issue in the beginning..... do you have a set of trading "rules" you have for entering a trade...... only enter a trade when every single condition is met..... enter with your stop and target and one of the things I did in the beginning that I found helped was I traded 0.5% per trade and only went up to 1 % when I become consistent...... try not to panic when the market moves against you let it run the market does move against you at times but that doesn't mean it won't got to target if you give it...Ignored

Thanks or the advice. I am slowly getting a trading rules outline for myself. I'm learning when I should trade and when I should not. Trading can really suck you in and before you know it you've spent hours watching candles color I am also learning to set stops and trust it. If it gets stopped out it's not the end of the world, just have to find a better entry point. In fact I was up 30 pips this morning and I set my SL too close and missed out on the push up to 119.5. (15 pips). A week ago I would have entered right away and try to catch the rest, which is usually at the top of a push. So I waited and it dropped and I gain about 10 more pips. Now to be consistent and content with +pips and wait for the next opportunity. Thanks for the reply. I'd probably be done if not for the encouragement and help form everyone on here! I'm close to done for the day but we have a few days before Christmas still! Any thoughts on a good base $$ to move from .5% - 1% and how consistent before you move up?
