Yep greed is a killer, i've been forexing for 3 years now, and in the first year blew 2 account's, then changed my tactic's and for the last two years my target has been 20 pips per day, very difficult requires alot of self discipline, you alway get the urge to try for more pips, but if you stick to a daily target of 20 pips (100 pips per week) over two years if you compound your winnings it's hell of alot of profit, i still stick to my 20 pips per day, then stop,

you cant say that, we all do like you but this is wrong

forex has stop loss and take profit level... you should not close the trade manually

you could however set it as BE when it goes with you for nice pips just in case it came back

I know some people use sl and tp levels, but i manually set TP for 20pips ..

aim for 100 pips per week thats what i've been doing for last 2years, works great for me

Its been some time i posted here so heres a simple bar chart on 4hr. Price respecting this descending pitchfork alot. Price moveing towards resistance at the upper ML thats been holding steady in the past. Im watching close to see the reaction at that zone. Will sell on decline or buy the breakout.

Dont trade big news days (no control over order)
Trade 10% of equity (i know it's alot)
I only trade during London session
Trade supp resistance levels eg today bought off 1.4949(53) took my 20 pips
Just compound everything
Manually close if price breaks through level ...
Never take more than my 20, if you let it run it can go against you

But once you have your 20 does that mean you stop trading for the day? what if theres another great set up round the corner?

That's a good system, I've used similar one's in the past, but can I ask on occasoion when it's clearly going to run a long way, would it not make sense to let it get to +40 pips, and then place a stoploss at +20, then you are without risk but with the chance of making 200+ pips- or 10 days worth of trading for you?

maybe dats d different between u n alot of us here..10% vs maybe 1%-3% of equity..hunting for big pips or small pips,all depends on how much a person dare to lose to gain something..
