hey boulder, do you do every trade based on a % of your account or do you keep a fixed lot size?
how much is 10 pips worth in terms of your account size?

it depends... non US accounts may use fixed lot size.. all US accounts use size multiples.. so higher price comes with bigger position size to avoid FIFO..

I see. And how much gain is 10 pips roughly? in terms of % i mean.
Just trying to figure out how much risk you take per trade.

{quote} i feel bears are sympathetic they always gave back what they work so hard for it. big dump will be when they test R1 of the day and then lost the pivot. till then.. eating slowly... edit. if we can get higher lc, maybe tomorrow we will get scenario like i want
because at big support 1210s .. once 1200 breaks.. it will be a free fall... before that , we just in range trades,,,

Lots of support below today's low

If broken, it should be a steep move down to clear all weak longs

I just don't feel confident enough to sell this low
