nAvin,
You should try on a spreadbetting platform like igindex. Easier than having a capital base and you can trade with pennies initially.

I put on big stop loss 200 pips or so, but don't target 200 pips, just get into profit by 30 pips or so and set to beak even +1, then let her ride or aim to spot a 'get out' candle like eohater has shown us. Alot of the time I get a good profit and then think oh no I have to protct it and just get out. I really have to work on my exit.

what I'm saying tho nav is just get in at good entry with large SL and then when it gets into positive +30ish move to BE and don't worry about targeting 200 pips from one trade.

It sometimes goes -50ish pips before coming back and as long as you made good entry and with the trend of the timeframe and direction of particular trade you should be alright, just don't panic.

\good luck mate hope this helps
please DON'T copy my trades I am still learning

Not by me. i see this movement 2 weeks ago, you can search for my post talking about a channel formed by HH - LL of a lot of months before this one and the fast pips that comes after crossed.
but, i use a suicidal management, because of my llittle account, and it burns. for just 2 pips. 2 pips!!! before drop like a bomb... (i only had 5.10 dollars, so, i put a sell order for EU at 1.3004...and price rose 1.3032 (-28)... plus variable spread (in that second EU spread reached 4.5 pips!!!!!!!) F**K!!! so, blown my account.

I'm not in a trade guys, but I'm liking what I see. The 1h candle, the 15m candle and the 4h on the 5ma. Might be a nice short opportunity here. I'm not going to take it because I have to run to a meeting. DAMNIT!

Good luck everyone!

I am sorry to hear that bro... You have to use stop losses in this business because unexpected moves do happen... Don't stress yourself though bro. We've all been there... the key is to learn from your mistakes...Keep your chin up....

of course i use, but pip in fxcm is .10 dollar, so if i only had 5.1, and 30 pip SL are 3 dollar, so to put it or not to put it in ths case was the same thing. so i don't. anyway, enter was right. what not was right was my wallet.
still learn. i learn a lot from you and eohater. i feel confidence with my own thougths, and i see the way of the movements, but for any reason i end failing... i don't know.... there is something in my mind that i cannot read. when i fix that, i will turn winner instead of looser. time.
