Does anyone have a MM spreadsheet where you can punch in numbers and it let's you know what percentage you would be risking on each trade?????

Thanks in advance

A 30 pip SL is a killer under these conditions.

Recently I have posted few charts here and by chance I have them saved if u wana look at them, and if you observe them carefully, you'll see that even if I had used 15 point SL that would have been good.

I know how crazy it sounds, but its true.

In the past I used to cover as much as 100 pip range, but I've changed my style recently.

gota rush somewhere, I'll catch ya guys soon.

Wish Loads of pips to all !!!

It's not crazy and it's true. But I prefer using stoplosses at "tragedy" levels and cut the trades manually way before if I realize I'm wrong.

Timing is everything on this game, you're right. The better your timing, the smaller the drawdown. But bad things pop out of nowhere, and in this case you will want to have a tragedy SL in place.

Thank you, I will read. That has been a problem for me already, a few bad trades & lost almost all of my bank. Learned that the hard way.

Unfortunately you do not know in advance whether your timing is wrong or right.. It is also a probability game, and a game of persistence and patience....

Confusing trade going on... tricky reaction to the news. Overall, good for the stock market and encouraging for a rate cut bias....
