Hi IAK... You mean purposely let the 2nd trade put to breakeven? Don't touch it no matter what happen?

My present system seems to work for the last 3 months. Looking back on the last month where my capital had increase, if I had stick to my rules, it will be about the same returns. The fluctuation from positive to -$1.5k really freak me out.
The initial small capital worse case is I will only see -$70. I stick to my rules of engagement and managed a decent gain no matter up or down.

I am very pissed with myself.
Yep. move 2nd lot to break even and just leave it to run. I like taking direction from 4hr at the moment depending on which side of the 25sma price is and then entering on 5min trendline breaks in that direction. nice and simple. I take 20 pips on first lot and trail the second. sometimes 2nd make nothing but sometimes you will gain 100+

now thats the big one
i trade from $10 a pip to $50 a pip

took me 3 years to get here
im short at 55 at $20 a pip right now
Interesting, pipsallday...
I am more like "swing trader" looking to catch a bigger move like 150-300pips
I have some 2, 4 trades per week, usually waiting long for good opportunity.
Reading all your posts, I have noticed many of you hunting only 15, 20 pips.
I am thinking which method is better;
As I keep my position opened for 3-5 days, I could in a meantime avail of all little 20pips up & downs and ad them up together…
I mean instead of catching one 200 pips move I could grab 20 small legs up and 20 small legs down, all by 20 pips profit
and the same move would generate 400-600pips instead of 200pisp ;-)
Sounds great, isn’t it, but does it always work that way???

The main reason I went from losing (Ł1,000's over the years) to being profitable was to change my leverage. I now have a bank of Ł12000 and trade Ł0.36 lots and trade with confidance and calm and not reaching for the kitchen knife when trades dont go my way. Try it and see BIG bank small lots
That is true!

20-50 trades per day is plain stupidity. It's the fastest way of getting a margin call.

I have 3-4 trades a day, maximum, usually position building on one, and get off with 50-150 pips a day from multiple trades. More than enough for me.

Ofc, there are days where you get -20, -30. Sh*t happens, everybody deserves a bad day once in a while.
Please, just slap me around if I'm being silly ...
