Disliked{quote} +10R added to equity, followed by several months of break even trading with winners covering losses, followed by a further +36R added to equity. My stats for that period was 30% win rate. Average losing trade 1R Average winning ~7R Im losing close to 70% of my trades and going months with no net gain on my account.
