the one thats a bit painful to post...the equivalent of -667 pips....
Hi Chazzle

-667 is very painful...its great your showing your good and bad though. I am relatively new to forex but i notice your lot sizes are very random 0.5 to 10

10 sound really risky.....keep to your planned MM.

Good luck

EDIT: Just read BBakker's post...says what i'm saying but way more professional

thanks for feedback guys-yes too much risk involved at the end of this 2 week period.I think part of the problem is using a scaling in strategy at the wrong time.Works quite well in more of swing type scenario-really.There is no substitute for patience.

I can also trade intraday levels pretty well so the thing for me to do is keep the 2 styles well apart from eachother.

I have been trading 15 months...losing 10 breaking even 5 and I win most of the time,its just when I lose I lose big.

I should have more defined MM ,1 position at £0.5 is for me 1.2x leverage and going beyond 3x is perhaps too much.

I am nowhere near being a professional. I have only been trading 9 months, but I did invest in my Forex education. I did a 6 day Forex course in June which I can retake as many times as I like without any additional cost and now I have signed up to 6-8 hours of webinars every week, for my lifetime, for a one-off fee. Sam Seiden is one of my instructors on the webinars. We also have Grad Club once a month where traders meet at the offices in St Albans to discuss trading.

Glad to here it I am using Real money but with Alpari on a Micro Account so can go down to 0.01....its perfect for the real money training phase.
