Don't know about others why they do it, but I have a simple calculation.

If I am right 60% of the time and wrong 40% of the time, at 1% constant risk/reward it will fetch me 20%.

Why 1% why not any other %age. ..........Yes, if I am wrong first 40 out of total 100 trades, will be able to salvage 60% of my capital to fight another day

ps/ Hell with number of pips.

Yep. And this is exactly why most fail....as they overleverage.....

I tend to scale in and out.

Today's support: - 1.4130 and 1.4087(main), where correction is possible. Break would give 1.4068, where correction also may be. Then follows 1.4027. Break of the latter would result in 1.3996. If a strong impulse, we would see 1.3973. Continuation will give 1.3916.
Today's resistance: - 1.4182 and 1.4226(main). Break would give 1.4244, where a correction is possible. Then goes 1.4275. Break of the latter would result in 1.4308. If a strong impulse, we'd see 1.4331. Continuation will give 1.4356.

Have experienced 52 consecutive losses, not a single winning trade in months. Imagin where I would have been with even 2.5% risk per trade or with no consistency Don't know where, but atleast not here.

Ugly bro, very very ugly. Throne huggin ugly. Back a few years ago, guys especially on the yen pairs were screamin and cryin they'd got MC'd in seconds cuz they never read the fine print about "next available price" in their borker contracts.... PK prolly remembers some of those guys on the AUS thread blowin up bad...

Here's an idea of what it looked like more than a few times back then. I was on the right side of THESE trades but there were some I wasn't.

Such is the shark pit we all swim in...
