Ok slow day, had a lot of work on so traded 15m, random entry took me short, banked a few then hedge broke long so banked some more, no trading levels triggered and price returned to my start position so ended up netting 14 pips.
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

I know it's coming but I'm yet to have a major issue with this so far (my natural pessimism), I'm almost wanting things to go south so I can test my escape plans. The one piece of the puzzle I'm still not sure on is how long to hold the trade from hell when it arrives, I can't help thinking the time taken to trade out of 5 or six bad averages would be better spent getting small gains? Any advice gladly accepted.

Very wise, yes hell will come sooner or later but the fact that you are prepared that's it coming is half the battle, I can only say it does get better with experience but only you and you alone can actually do it, trade markets with small movements with tiny lots that's all I can advise, you've seen my trade today massively underwater but I was to stick it out it came back into profit quicker than expect was prepared to go into next week ....again it ain't no easy money but I think you already know that........"repetition is the mother of all skill"...
