Quoting Venice
Been a difficult start to the year for myself. But this is why we have our risk set up correctly. I had my worst week in a year the first week of this month, and it cost me -5%. Having a bad day / week / month is all part of this game. Can't get 'em all, always. Just have to get more good then bad Good luck, grab a cocktail to reset and be ready again!

I remember starting out, I'd probably be still hoping and praying in draw down. LOL.
oh my risk reward is my lifesaver for sure. it's almost like i am sort of relieved to get this stuff out of the way so i can get back to trading naturally. i was thinking that i just took too much time off and it's taking awhile to get the beat of the market back. which that is exactly what it could be but only time will tell. i am actually kinda laughing at myself when i look at my chart with my trades posted. frickin newbie here or what

ugly pa today , to be honest , i would have skipped the trade on my normal trading account because momentum was pointing down at the time, i was almost stopped out on the little spike down

better luck tomorrow , cheers...enjoy

hope u're all good.

so how's the pippin? mine's been slow. short for the moment from a few above 1.3 couple of positions, be atm and just added another. feels risky (my 15m points up until a close below the low invalidates it. forks point down on smaller tfs but point up on 1h and 4h...

green pips, WBR

maybe the realized pull back will stop it but I'm not confident enough to trade it
