For info and reference: This trade was intentionally put in the way of NFP news announcement and was traded with complete disregard to NPF inorder to have a results data. The only revision that was done was the changing of the SL to 20. Because there is no point raising the SL because if it goes againts the trade it will hit anyway. You might be surprise of the results.
We only loss -23 pips after all the violent movement created by NFP. USDCAD was untouched by the NFP and even goes against the GBP and EU in the initial spike.

Ok, folks, this is it. I call it my week. A little less than expectation. My out put was less than 50% of the last week output. Hoping for a good week next week.

Hi, I'm not sure if you mentioned this before but this is quite a long thread so it would take me ages to find my answer but I'd like to know what percentage you risk per trade and how far your stop loss is usually. Also do you keep statistics on the percentage of winners versus losers?

Thank you

Dude, 400 pips in a week KILLS.

I'd be satisfied to get half that. But you're good to keep aiming higher.

Have a good weekend.
Is your SL my TP?

Normally...sir.. we have a 25+spread SL on a normal trading, but if i feel that the trade is going against me, i have to exit quickly to minimize the loses. I normally target trades that are capable of delivering 50 pips and above (nobody can predict that) based on its previous record. With all due respect, all those estimate about risk evaluation are bugos. How many times you said to your self i should have stayed with the trade, or i could have raise my SL because nobody knows where the market is going exactly. We can speculate as much as we can but the market has a mind of its own. Yes i do keep a record of percentage of winners versus losers, again that is not important to me. What is important is how much pips i generated when i am right?? and how much pips when i was wrong... Yes it is my goal to reduce the losers than winner to about 1:2.
Thanks and regards...

Trader101 -

Congratulations,sir.

I'm betting you're going to rack up 2,000 pips in the course of 4 weeks.

At that rate you might be in the 5% who actually make it!

Just remain cool and let that market keep coming to ya...

We're all very impressed.
