Just wondering how much everyone puts on per pip as a percentage of how much is in their account balance.

Say account balance $5000 do people put on between $1-$5 per pip?
please DON'T copy my trades I am still learning

compared to the last 10 years, this month's patterns have changed. do you know what i mean? i hope its just temporary, that happened before for a month of time, but hopefully not forever like EURUSD

thats because UK entered first recession in over 10 years, u have to realise what is the main theme is in the markets and trade it, market is what it is, we cant control it, we can only control our own actions.....

first six months cable spent cosoldating in crap range brackets now out of it and firmer moving lower, u just have to trade what u see and go with the flow, i day trade cable there monthly patterns dont really matter a huge deal, price action is the key on monthly period, 2.00 level was overpriced market now looking for fair value for sterling which seems to be lower on "monthly" averages on 15 year basis. it shows u markets over shoot.

Hi Nav, I too am willing you to suceed. In respect of the current situation, unless you close out the opposing trades when one of the furthest entry points is reached be it the buy or sell, and then hold those trades to recover the opposing loss,...then the trade is already lost. Whatever you do tghough, make a decision and stick to it.

In repect of your general situation, quite simply at the moment; you do not have a reliable consistently profitable over a sample trading system/methodology that you are able to impliment with impunity on a live account.

Stop live trading now and go back to demo,....until you are consistently profitable with a methodology, then build up live slowly from 0.1lot only going to next level when you are consistently profitable at the former.

G/L.
i found what im doing wrong only just realised it ...all my entries should have been the opposite...seems i broke the most important rule in trading...

in channel assume bounce as appossed to breakout......i guess i was after a perfect entry that i always assume it will break instead of bounce..

so i need to change this thought process.....and learn what f*cking support and resistance means....like fxlocal say "school boy errors" and i hedged because of fear of blowing account...which i think by me time to fix my shit..

posting this cause im likely to lose this trade big time but id want to post this cause other might be doing the same thing..and at least some good can come out of it... my hedged loss is £247..balance is now only 1,7k
