I only make good trades when I set reasonable TP and SL and then go to work. But as long I am online I keep on opening MT4 like a maniac ,moving the SL ,close before TP..etc, I ruin all profits I made. I tried several times to stop ,but its too hard.

Thats what I did . I changed my MT4 login pass to hgudfd7d7f76 (example) and then sent it to my friend mail and told him not to send it back until next sunday. I made long orders for E/U and U/J and short for EU/CHF and US/CHF. I set TP and SL.

Damn after I did this I felt great relief and now I can resume my life! So How can you stay discplined and sane??

Guys, if you don't trust your friends, they're not true friends. He obviously has true friends, so instead of mocking him you should admire him.

Brb-Fraudin, you gotta do what you gotta do. Have you ever read, "How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" by Nicolas Darvas? The only way he could trade successfully is when he completely distanced himself from the market and forbid his broker from calling him (long before online trading). He had an approach which worked only when he wasn't actively participating.

Try trading smaller units. Less money on the line, easier to focus on your rules. If it goes fine, you can always up your risk. IF.

Trust my friend? I sent him a random number and he doesn't even know what it is. Thx for the kind words Rob. I now enjoying my time and also reading more FX articles. 3-4 trades per week is the way to go . Makes me more careful about the trade I make.

The 4 trades are 0.02 and 0.01 lots. Its a micro-account and so far I am at a 20% profit. Now way I am going to blow this account like the last 2.
