{quote} Thank you this is very helpful. Do you by any chance use any "robot" to help you trade? I do find it in some discussions that some of the traders do it with the help of "robot" signals. I trade in small lots like 0.10 and 0.20 but since my capital is not so much I think that's what makes me struggle. Hopefully something good will happen tomorrow.
I think lot size management is important and using Sl is more far important then anything. And when I say use sl so use it properly see Google or YouTube so you can understand it properly where to put it otherwise it will hit so many times. And the lot size I use 0.5 for 500$ and 0.10 for 1000$ account. Btw I had the same problem but trust me you don't want to against the trend. Today or tomorrow you will loose it so better take loss and think forward like I am doing now. Last day I lost over 80% my account by no using Sl (unfortunately).

I do not use robots. However what I do use is 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day, and 1 week time frames. 1 hour is the fastest time frame I will use when trading. Anything lower than that is just noise. I prefer the 4H and 1D the most, because I am able to focus better on trends and larger PIP wins. You will have to see what works best for you, make a plan based on strategy, then let the plan work. I am really happy when I only have a trade on Monday to enter and a trade later in the week to exit, at that point I wait until the next set up. Some people like to trade for 3 PIP's profit, I like to trade for a 75-200ish. But it has to be based on what you are comfortable with. There is nothing wrong with small lots, this is a game based on PIP's. If you can get good at averaging 10-30 PIP's per day, and do it consistently because you have a plan, you can make a lot of money over 12 months. Do not blow a winning week by jumping into the market on impulse, you need to always plan and manage your risk if the trade goes the opposite direction on a trend reversal. Your reply ended with "Hopefully something good will happen tomorrow", that is the wrong mentality and means you are guessing, use some good indicators, enter on the dips if you need to. If your plan starts with the word "Hopefully", you need to learn how to do technical analysis.

That's a typo right there, or your math is wrong somewhere else?

Cheers
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Maybe?

0.05 + 0.05 = 0.10

0.50 + 0.50 = 1.00

so big difference

Actually when I trade I trade only one position. So 0.05 only and it's my maximum lot size. No way to 0.50.

Correction is started. It should hit 1.3 before goes to 1.25 and lower.

couldnt disagree more. this is not the start of correction.

Reason?

I trade fundamentally, CAD is over valued. It had the chance to hit 1.25 last week but it didn't happen. Oil price will go down, housing crisis in Canada (will start soon), US is in good shape and on the rate hike. There are other minor reasons. Opened a long position at 1.2640 (big size).

Also, I should mention that I really expected correction somewhere around 1.25 and this spike can be only because of the triggered take profits of big players' positions. I put the stop-loss on the break even point.

USD/CAD is at 1.2600 and considering how bearish it is I think it could drop to the last low at 1.2460.

I don't see it going past 1.25-1.25200, and than up move to at least 1.29-1.3
