I was watching EU and it's not moving either. NY open in 20 min might get things moving perhaps.

And now I would have been +15 and stop at BE. It would seem I'm fearful of losing. Time to reduce my lot size.
Thanks for your help, warmth and straight talking Heather.

Yep...none of us likes to lose, but we have accept that sometimes, we will lose, despite every condition we set ourselves has been met. Sometimes the market wins, and we did nothing wrong.

When I get into a losing streak and then I get timid for fear of losing, I do exactly what you just suggested....reduce the lot size. I reduce by about 2/3. If I have a winning day, I will increase my lot size by just a little bit. If I have another winning day, I will increase by just a little bit once again....and so on. If I have a losing day, I will reduce the size so that I am back to 'yesterdays' lot size. It doesn't take that long to get your mojo back and your lot size will be back to normal in a timely fashion. If you jump too quick to increase the lot size, the anxiety comes back and you're right back where you started!

We're all different, but that's my remedy for the dreaded fear of losing.....

SO that adds up to +64 for the day, which will cover a day of no pips if that happens this week. So now it's guitar and coffee time for an hour before sleepy time! I'll be here but I think no more trades for me today.

Damn!

Do you consider BRN like 1.1400 as possible exit points, or does your method call for a different approach? As before, we all do things differently, but for me, I exit at BRN's without exception. Sometimes it's perfect, and sometimes, like my GJ trade earlier on, it's not!

After my reduction in lot size I was much more relaxed and enjoyed being in a trade again. I was free and easy with how PA was behaving and my eyes were on the ADR of the day. I was aware of the Daily open line but did not consider the BRN like I would normally. It's nice to be back not trading scared money but my lesson from the trade is I can still enjoy trading while incorporating some discipline too. Thanks RJ.

Sounds good!! Trading (imo) has to be enjoyable, just like any job, or else it becomes a pain in the ass. Taking the pressure off by way of reduced lot sizing is definitely a good move that has served me well in the past, and no doubt it will again when the time comes.

cool thread, i am new here but been scalping GBPJPY and GBPUSD a few years with some success. i post live trades on a small group but Mostly end up talking to myself. retail trading can be a solitary exercise so happy to find active trsders to chat with. i will contribute some live trades, not as signals but for discussion and it helps me think things over in my own mind.

This is a trade i am currently in and a have a pending order to hedge overnight as it is late here in Australia. i have only begun experimenting with hedging and usually just use sl and manual close.
