I'm good for excitement in my life. I need slow and steady returns whilst keeping my account protected from extreme DD.

The hardest thing for me is to let my winners run. I see that juicy equity and I want to keep it.

I know, right? I've sat in DD for weeks. I've endured it. Why shouldn't I wait for profits to develop?

The way I think about it right or wrong I don't know, but they say cut your losses and let your winners run, however 95% of traders lose money ?????, I like to think outside the box, all I can say is think for yourself and go on your own experiences ...

area between 1.2530 and 1.2410 is a good spot to buy.

The most money I have given to the market was when I religiously closed at stops. My DD was always the greatest and it made it difficult to trade my way out. Reducing my position size and spreading the distance between averaging the losing position and closing at break even when possible is what has worked best for me.

I suggest that you have different 'stop loss levels' for different times of the day and if you are going to setup stop losses use hidden stop losses not stop losses that the MM's can see!

Been trading various instruments for decades, honestly can’t remember the last time I used a stoploss. Probably my early days of Forex trading when I treated it like backing horses, everything became easier when I realised it was about finding something that worked outside the norms.

Forex markets are more like gambling on the outcome after the release of a box of drunken toads IMO. Trade more like a broker would be my advice, but be careful following the advice of brokers. If stoplosses were called “we collect your money now” levels I wonder if they would be quite so widely used?
Sounds like a lot of screen time to me.

hi can elaborate on hidden stop loss?
i feel that using an EA to do so is not particularly useful if small lots are traded.
most of us here are all small fish.

Hi all, just an quick update for tomorrows zoom... But first thanks to all above for keeping this thread going

Yesterday i did test positive for covid. Havent had covid b4 but hopefully it will go in 3 or 4days. Still have full intentions of doing zoom tomorrow depending on how bad it gets. Remember to record the session if you can that way you can keep going over it. I would advise you to watch it 30-50 times b4 you start putting your own hard earned money to work.

Best advice is to use 0.01 or 0.02 and no more for at least 3mnths till you fully understand how i trade ----- dont be stupid and go balls deep, you wont make it

Hopefully see you tomorrow
