I was trying to risk 2-3% of my account only and hence the tight SLs... for a 1000EUR account I concluded that is best to use a 100:1 leverage... to keep me motivated... Big mistake it seems...

You need to go back to paper trading, open a 1k demo account and double that using 0.02% risk, when you manage that, go back to live trading.

I have been in this business a long time and still papertrade new ideas and setups, nothing wrong with that.

BTW are all your rules written down and right in front of you, or do you just "wing" it.

The last time I hit 100+ on short term trades was February 7th. The past 4-6 weeks have been below average on EU.

When I refer to double or triple I mean the price movement, the amount of chunks in price. I had 5 seperate trades on that last one for 41 pips each, not bad going.
cloggie, I don't understand what you are referring to with 'amount of chunks in price'.
You meant that you added 5 separate trades into the swing/waves of the recent uptrend?

Hello people!

Im one of those unregistered traders viewing this thread for some time now trying to see how people more experienced than me trade and I just registered today to thank cloggie for time and nerves invested in this thread and keeping us newbies from being scammed and misled, especially since in this business scammers and people selling bs are more active on forums and willing to interact on the internet than experienced profitable traders!

I wont be active here much so I just wanted you to know that your efforts are appreciated and noted.

Happy trading everybody.

wave 5 on 5 minutes/15min it should go just above wave 3, on 1.4483-1.4503 area, love to get just to 1.4487 so i can have a H$S pattern and open a short heavily for today afternoon and tomorrow.

im long since 1.446, and im going to close it at 1.4488 just to be sure and reopen my shorts there.

For those shorts i have some pending orders to buy(hedge) at 1.4525 tp 1.4549, just in case.

GOOD LUCK GUYS
