{quote} Wow, how do you achieve such a result.
I was more of a swing trader years ago like some on here I see but ... I sucked at it lol pick a method and stick with it. I'm sure the gurus on here would agree.. don't jump around pick a lane and develop it.
For me ... its straddling multiple pairs with EUR being my anchor play and using my negative positions to hedge my targets and lot sizes for my greens. my mind set is scalping and I get in and out as quick as I can... I'm sure there is a joke there but I'll leave it alone
ATA if I'm straying to far from your threads intent I apologize just trying to encourage anyone who might be struggling.

{quote} lots of different methods on here.. just gotta pick one and get good at it. I've been working on this straddle/scalp method for about 3 years. started the account with $2k and its now to a point that is bringing in roughly $1k a week and I'm only trading with a very small portion of the account. just takes time.

If bulls can protect the lows (1.1690/95), we can see a speed up and maybe breakout later... Step by step!
But nothing for sure yet. First, let's see who wins the fight!

If price fails to close below 1.1700 on an hourly basis and especially on a daily close I’ll close my short from 1.1741. At the moment, it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen, even though the market had several chances today. There are still a few hours left, but the longer price holds above 1.1700, the less likely a deeper pullback becomes. That’s why I’ve moved my stop to 1.1720, locking in a +21-pip profit.

16 trades for the day.. I'm done.
love it when trump speaks lol like him or not.. he's good for our trading
Again .. I'm not trying to make thousands every day, my account is large enough to make more but rather I'm trying to be consistent and keep my win ratio as high as possible. creating an long term income vs creating a good season
