How many win : loss that you made?

I scalp 20 trades a day, the more trade I took the more I will get loss.

True. The real question is what is the win:loss ratio.

The number of trades for me are never fixed.

I wait for the set ups to be formed and then trade .

Some days i make 10 trades or more , some days 1 or none if no set up.

I dont compail myself to trade when there is no set up because that usually tends to loss.

win : loss ratio was 87% .. i made such big amount of scalps, because i use pyramide scheme + bigger account .. sometimes i have opened 20 trades at one time + you have to have great broker! (fast without requiting)

Hi,
I'm only new to this so I'm open too idea's.
I'm just wondering If you made 335 scalps with 87% win ratio, my calculations would have you at a loss. Thats if you stuck too your 3 pip TP/ 20 pip stop loss. The broker would be licking his lips with all the brokerage fee's.

No, i was at 300 pips profit .. i use 5 - 20 pips SL + different lot size for each position .. i called it pyramide scheme .. easy example: i open first position at 1.4385, 1 lot with SL 1.4410, second with 1 lot at 1.4388, third at 1.4392 with 2 lots, fourth at 1.4395 with 4 lots, fifth at 1.4400 with 7 lots and still SL 1.4410

- this is my example: http://www.scalprs.com/pg/forum/topi...-scalps-a-day/
it was only demo, but show how my trading style works

it is really important to be fast as possible and be able close and open up to 15 positions in one minute.

It's not quantity, but rather quality.

I tend to make no more than 4 trades per day (typically 1-2 standard lots). But most days I place 0 trades.gl

I just trade enough to get my daily target of +5 %. In regular days I get that in 2 trades. then I close for the day.
