If you can guarantee yourself 10 pips on a trade, I'll show you how you can be rich!

Besides, we can't break the rules here! We're only good for 10 pips!
Yeah...u guys would be getting hundreds of pips a day while i would be stuck at 10 and way to stressed out over the size of the lots i would have to use to even pull the trigger!

yes it looked like she was starting to fall so closed them not unhappy with the decision as I had to go out and did not want to leave them. Made more than expected on both

I'm not short... I should have taken one at that price but opted against it..... Looks like we have a double top with tweezers on h1....

I'm going on the road now so won't take the short ..... I'll be watching the 652x area for another possible long...

i took that long off the 50sma.....took some profits and got stopped out......that makes 4 times today!

I think i will start using the initial profits to place a stop around -10 instead of locking in +2 or so. My problem lately has been not surviving the initial retest of my position. I am a little late on the entries sometimes so it may be better for me give her a little more breathing room.

Could be a trade off between booking some pips at the end of the day or ending up right where i started........There is also that GMC truck thing.

Eo, what u think?
