Agreed. Most of the time we're either too leveraged, way too early or simply wrong. Being patient and keeping the positions small = the market will do what it will do and I will be at peace.
Just a Tiger hunting Bulls & Bears.

I think a mistake a lot of traders make in market conditions like the last few days is that they don't adjust their stop size to accommodate the increased volatility as demonstrated by the increased ranges and spread widening. I don't mean increase your risk, I mean lower your typical lot size to accommodate a bigger stop. The increase in volatility will make up for a lower lot size re the increased number of pips on each move, re actual cash generation. Just look at 4hr chart with the price scale taken off (vertical axis) it looks like a typical...
I did reduced it but damn the spreads and the volatility range moves damn aggressively and tend to take me out.
I even adjusted to a 15-20 pips SL.

Can I offer a suggestion to you? There are more experienced and better traders than me here, but when I enter a trade I am reasonably sure that it will work, but even so, I place my SL a long way from the entry. Sometimes 30-50 pips away. I won't let that SL get eaten (unless a sudden spike does it), I will exit the trade when I see that I got it wrong. 15-20 pip SL is too close and is likely to get eaten in the volatility. If my big SL does get eaten by a sudden spike, I won't like it, but the account won't have damage that I can't recover from in a few good trades. Just my thoughts.
I am neither brave nor stupid...I am just a part time trader

The Queen died wealthy in money, land and property beyond belief.
She wanted for nothing and enjoyed the best of everything.
She could have arranged for her estate to pay for her funeral, but she chose to make the people pay for it instead.

Instead you've paid her.....

I understand where you're coming from but scalping can't afford huge SL though. In the long run it's not good
I'll go back to demo and refine my entries.
