You need to do yourself a favor and read up on risk management. You really shouldn't risk more then 1% of your account when you are first starting out. Set your SL accordingly, if you feel the need for a SL that large then reduce your position size accordingly. Capital preservation is key in becoming succesful in this business, you need to be able to trade another day. Forex is not a get quick rich scheme.

Prepare yourself an excel sheet with appropriate position sizes for the SL's you intend on using.

When I enter a trade, I know how much...
Good post, would do well to take note.
Trade the price action, not the cash!!!

We've all been there man!!

Look at it this way: If you can take just 25 pips per day, every day....that amounts to about 6,500 pips in 12 months. You may not be able to live off that right now, but how much healthier would your account be with 6,500 pips locked in.....and......how much would your 2% SL be worth now??

Like I say, take your time.....look after the cents (or pennies), and the dollars (or pounds) will look after themselves!
I;m a small investor now but I basically trade stocks. I'm not looking for 200% return in a short time. A stable 15-20% would be really good. If I'm lucky, I'll get out of this short position. I guess it's all about luck now. I can minimize the risk exposure but if I do that, I believe the stop loss is going to be hit anyway. With higher SL I have greater chance for survival.

IF you decide to use a higher SL you need to reduce your position size accordingly. You cannot pick a SL because you want to use a survival tactic, you choose the SL at a point where your chosen direction on your chosen timeframe would be proven wrong and you would entertain an entry in the opposite direction. Alternatively use a SL at which point you are no longer willing to spend money to be proven right. Both of these will determine your position size depending on your risk appetite.

Trading is not about making money, it is solely about being consistent, money will follow automatically.

1.3500 pay out 250million
1.3475 pay out 150million (New Option Just added)
1.3300 pay out 200million
Thankyou , was going to ask about these my news feed mentions 3500 and the talk of stops 3520 and a barrier at 3550 .

A week ago when we broke the low i was bearish but the strong push up through the range reminds me of the break of the highs to 4280 and the resulting strong push through the previous range down giving us 2 no 800 pip bear legs, and a final push to 2850 .
Poor bear I only see 3 legs awww.

So currently the same pattern is forming to the bull side a strong break of 3500 would confirm.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

Right now we have a reversal pattern in the making, so we should get a bit closer to your entry. Cable is leading the way today.
