I am posting this swing trade to show how crap they are. Big pip trades look so cool but in my experience they do not pay out very well at all, why ? because you have to be crazy to put enough money on them to make it interesting. Not because of capital risk but because of pull-backs , shake-outs and the like. This swing so far is up about 280 pips and had to munch through two 100 pip pull backs, Even if it reaches my target of 1.3150. with two steps forward and one step back it can hardly be considered efficient. I post a 5min chart showing small sl scalp entrys, so OK there is more commissions but as the opportunity are there also on the two 100 pip pull-backs it is much more efficient and therefore much easier to throw more money at the trades. and why I make my motto ... .be a winner stay at the front .
