Look at this 1 minute set up.

It happened yesterday after NFP.

Why should I trade only 2 lots and why not 6 or 7 lots ? It can get you 50 to 60 pips.

With 2 lots, the risk in money is 15 pips x 20 $ = 300 $. Reward is 50 pips x 20 $ = 1000 $
With 7 lots the risk in money is 15 pips x 70 $ = 1050 $. Reward is 50 pips x 70 $ = 3500 $
My daily loss limit is 5000 $ ( 5 % ) , Remember this.

My only not trading this set up is...Friday.

Nothing else.

Just leave alone fear. Leave alone excitement.

All with your psychology. Keep in mind always " YES, I CAN DO IT "

I have come across this yesterday while passing TFF phase 2 challenge.

I needed 340 $ when Friday opened.

I did not wait for NFP.

I knew NFP can do anything.

I traded Frankfurt / LO and achieved the target.

Physiologically, trading phase 2 and Funded account is more important.

{quote} OH yes, many many. But I expect your reasoning for inconsistent lot size trading

  1. then why do you do the same test ( 100k ) in the same prop firm ( mff ) if you don't blow it up/or break the rules on ( real ) before, that doesn't make sense to me
  2. you can see donfriday lot size ( 0.02 ) to catch tens/hundreds of pips, when he failed he tried to fix it with just a few pips with a big lot size ( 1.00 lot size or 50% mark up ) it's realy not healthy, he will repeat that way continuously, trading is not just for a week, month or year but forever.
  3. give them a good educations, that doing challenges is not as easy as you give, because I see :

  1. every time you share your trading plan here 80-90% is fails ( maybe franz had a point about that and i see it now )
  2. you come back with 100% a successful trade showing off the profits as if trading was easy
  3. this is not an attack or jealousy for you ( like, dislike, ignore etc ) because I don't care about that, all the data I see are facts on the ground here ( all irrelevant )


--- sorry if offended, have a nice weekend.

And trust me, if one wants to win in Forex trading, 3 to 5 years. + Blown capital at least 10 times.

And if one wants to win prop firm accounts with bigger capital, 3 to 6 months experience needed + Blown challenges. + Blown funded account/s

Your replies from Point no 1 to 3 have nothing about inconsistent lot size trading.

Let us discuss on that.

Or just leave alone if you wish to.

Let us enjoy Saturday and sunday.

I find rare to be honest a person to discuss healthy.

Pointing out mistakes on others can not take anyone anywhere.

If you loose, it is your money. If you win it is yours.

ABOUT PHYCOLOGY TODAY IN A NEWS LETTER FROM FTMO PHSYCOLOGIST :

Has your psychology ever affected your trading plan?
In my opinion, psychology will have affected every trader in their journey. This is because as a beginner you are very emotional with your wins and losses which may lead to psychological mistakes such as revenge trading or FOMO. ( Fear Of Missing Out )

There are many here who are traders with own fund.

1k to 10k size.

In retail trading, very few follows risk management, they allow 50 % floating...and finally loose account altogether.

They will not understand 5 % loss limit.

This is the essence of trading whether prop trading or own funded trading.

RISK MANAGEMENT. THe percentage is upto individuals though. But one must have.

trading is a habit what you do on IG or the next on mff it makes no difference.
