Hey guys,

a question for the daytraders of you.

Does any of you take only one trade a day? or do you trade the whole day or a session?

I trade the New York session since im in the same time zone, from around 7/8AM to around 12PM MAX (lunch time). I look for a signal in that time period, if it shows then i take it, close MT4 and move on with my life.. if it never shows.. well, tomorrow its a new day =)

More than enough if its a true signal that conforms to my rules

Day trading is a mode of trading where a forex trader opens a trade at the beginning of any trading day and hold the trade for the whole day and exit at the end of the day either with profit or loss. The traders who have sufficient time to analyze the trade by holding for a long period can use day trading. Day trader tries to analyze the trade for the whole day and then take decision thereby.

Okay, I think I Asked the wrong question.

I mean lets say you risk 3% per trade and when your first trade is a winner for 3% or what Rr you try to get. You stop trading.

Or when its a looser you trade until you get your 3%

Or do you trade a session no matter how much profit you made.



500 trades a day thats alot of work

i ONLY look for a trade that obey my rules/conditions:

If true then take the trade close everything and move on with my life

If not, then wait.. if my preset time for trading its over and got nothing, Tomorrow its a new day.. thats it


Money/goals doesnt matter, only the process to validate a trade (if its valid or not) agaisnt a set of rules matters, nothing else !! (as weird as it sound, following this way of thinking the money flows into your account naturally and without any effort)

Hmm.. okay makes Sense. I only have thought about it and of course It would cut the potential profit but it alot less Stress I think.

To trade the whole day makes no sense for me when I dont make more money and smaller my hourly pay.

Havo my friend.

I still trade your way but I dont use rangebars anymore and not normal candles. I think I evolved in my way.


Its like you take the words out of my mind
Of course only taking correct trades is the way.
Thanks for your answer.

Billytt I like your way of trading alot I traded the last weeks until I got my profit target.
Your doubling concept would be really intresting for that when I would understand it.

Watched a guy trade the same currency pair/trade for years; he’d place his two EUR/USD orders into the market every trading day, one long, one short, fully automated through his basic E.A. Lost touch as I moved on to another position, he was growing his account by circa 1% a week iirc, completely stress free, risking 0.5% per trade.
"The meek shall inherit the earth.." Yeah right, good luck with that shit..
