Hi guys!
So I have a Live & a Demo account. On my Demo account I've been trying to find a good simple system for scalping really, and it's developing okay. The thing is, when I began trading with my live account I was very inexperienced, and I lost a certain amount of money letting a loser run because I couldn't bring myself to cut it - no, any moment it would turn around for me and I'd be back in the green! So failing to use stops cost me about 10,000$$USD, which absolutely sucked. My account, since then, has been bopping from $95,000 to $98,000, but I just can't seem to get it back over that 100k mark.
Now lately, I've just been finding it difficult to find a trade setup I like! I struggle to pull the trigger now because I've had so many losses, and my winners are only bringing me to break even - overall, I've still lost! I want to go back to demo trading, but the thing I don't like about demo trading is that I pull the trigger too easily because it's not real, I feel invincible. All I want is to bring my LIVE account back up to scratch, then keep it going. So many times I've found trades, written down what I thought they'd do but then been too scared to pull the trigger - and watched them do exactly as I thought, which would have given pips+++. WHICH ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. I hate being terrified about pulling the trigger - and i hate having larger stops too. =\
Finding a trade is now hard for me. I mean, I just don't see them anymore like I used to before I got bitten. =\
