8k is not a bad amount to start trading with, will you make a living with an account that size living in the UK wanting to make 100 quid a day from the get go, no.

Einstein called compounding the 8th wonder of the world. You need to give yourself a trackrecord of a year to see what you can get out of the market on average and put that in a spreadsheet to see if it will make you a living over time.

The problem is that having 8k and expecting to take out 100 quid a day will not let you build your capital and your compounded return.

Why don't...
best advice ever.... keep ur day job and keep ur money in ur account.. set a goal of 50 pips per week... it does not sound like much but if you do not touch the money the compounding intrest will amaze you... as you build the account and raise ur lot size the 50 pip goal will really start to produce

Ok, here's my daily chart:

Check the yesterday candle - possible reversal to the upside?
The daily bar changed its colour to green and we've moved above that red trendline, so maybe this scenario is in progress.

50 pips a week is still gambling as the chance of it not being reached are inversely proportional to your weekly goal. To make a living at this comfortably and have buffers in your trading plan to absorb bad weeks, 200-300 pips a week should me the minimum to make a living out of this business, that gives you the safety buffer to absorb crap days and weeks, you will have them.

Trading for a living is all about consistency and a sufficient statistical edge to outperform other instruments over time without having to increase your risk to a point that the statistical edge will not be sufficient to remain consistent.

FX is not the easiest instrument to make a living of, there are easier ones, however if you know how to trade the returns will be mind boggling.

I have said it plenty of times here, I use other instruments to safeguard my capital and provide the basic means of survival for me, FX is the icing on the cake and allows me to get the toys I want.

Yeap and in a very strange time of the day so no M30 or H1 or H4 close traders there, time to pay attention during the next hour as 1.421x needs to provide support without double thoughts to propel the rejection H4 to 1.430x. Sidelines here but decision time now for today...

Been watching how well they have been supporting this area and continued to buy...

After no new lows and a second attempt @ cracking M5, figured a little more topside was in order...

I was triggering off the 1m charts, but all the same, current direction to topside, large area for Chino to fill back, might well follow the dough....

Double bottom on a failed fib retrace with a higher high and a definite protection of support does help.
