DislikedLet put this in prespective, starting with $10,000 account risking only 1% per trade projected using my backtesting results from 01/01/2002 to 10/08/2009 missing 2004 due to bad data would have netted $182K compounded (trading $18/pip). However, risking 2% would had compounded to $2.5 Mil (trading $474/pip). This include having couple of bad years (2005 & 2002).
Not bad for 2 trades per week, less than an hour per day stress free trading. So KISS principle, stay with the plan and enjoy life.

I agree with you 100% . We got similar mindset
It takes much less time than scalping the market and with much less risk.
