Yes, I have increased the amount that I trade with but still I do not need that much because I am always going to get into a trade right before it moves, right after it breaks resistance. I will usually set alarms(where the resistance points are) after my analysis in the afternoon and then go to bed at night. If the alarms hit at night, I get up and put in the trade and then go back to bed. I usually close out a trade when London goes home in the US sesssion. Thats a typical day.

Forgot about the breakeven, I will also wait to be up 40-50 pips depending on the volatility of a currency and then move my stop to breakeven. then let the trend do the work.

The forex is a market that will move when it breaks it resistance provided all the other pairs (parallel and inverse analysis) are moving as well. As far as waking up, I have alerts sent to my email which sounds off on my blackberry and wakes me up. Im not sure if I am long term or short term. A typical trade is 2-3am till 12pm the next day give or take.

The fastest way to become an successful trader:

find a teacher who is willing to share his method and strategy.

Now the important part:
after some weeks you have to trade infront of him - live and with real money.


I myself had to learn everything the hard way - took over 12 years.
Prefer scalping trends and breakouts in volatile markets by looking at time and volume (1min charts).
Don't use any indicator - cause they are lagging.

A resistance point on a daily or 4 hour chart are going to be strong especially if it has bounced off that before. I would not say it is a breakout, it has just broke resistance And you are right, I will close out when London goes home whether it is for +40 pips or +340 pips.

Keep a journal, and maintain long term and short term goals, and do periodic honest reviews of how you're doing, what you did well, what you did poorly, how how you can improve.

Also, I'd say read a lot. Figure out what the markets are and how prices move and also figure out who you are and where you want to go in life. Best of luck.

Here is an example. Let's say GBP/USD has a established a good trend and I want to trade it. Parallel analysis would be to look at the EUR/USD, AUD/USD, and maybe NZD/USD to make sure those are trending in the same direction. Then, inverse analysis would be to look at maybe the USD/CHF and USD/CAD to make sure those are trending in the opposite direction. If they are, you have confirmation of a strong trend. I hope that helps. Feel free to ask anything else.

Bad idea actually.
First of all a "trend" should be somehow confirmed by the past activity, right? Or a re we talking about intraday trends?.
Second: this is quite obvious - if you see USD falling - it will be falling in all currency pairs. But you will definitely see it AFTER it actually falls. And no confirmation it will be falling on.
So by checking reverse currency pairs you get info only about possible locks, not stable trends I guess...
