there are many ways to trade.
our emotions are all different.
the most difficult opponent is ourselves.
learn to understand ourselves and find one system that suits our personality.

experimenting demo in small time frames with bigger units than normal.
need not hold trades for 100 pips to be successful in trading.

trading methods are from my previous threads.
the strategy involves gathering of small profits in the beginning to cushion the next trade loss.
so much the better if able to catch a trend run.

i have limit the number of participants in my journal.

opportunities for scalping are plenty but needs 2-3 hours of focus attention when market opens.
wheareas swing trading kind of set and forget is more relax.
different folks different strokes.

profits accumulated for the day can be used to offset the loss from future trades.
trying not to go negative for the day. better just to use 50% of profit to offset.

Isn’t that true for almost every broker? As, the overall market statistics consistently show that only around 5% of traders are profitable, while the remaining 95% lose.

knowing which session to trade according to your style is advantageous.
often times i find that asia is the easiest for me to trade gold according to trend.
london some what ranging.
new york the hardest tending to pullback deeply.

however being prudent not trying to average out trades too much while losing, a decent profit still can be made.
in this experiment for gold, 0.01 unit for $500 account size and keeping to total of 0.02 units while having floating loss.
all these provided while still trading with the trend.
