Trade smaller than rational because the market is irrational...

i woke up 1 hr ago too
slept for 10 hours...
all through London
but woke up to pendings hit and in profit
this bullish momentum is crazy...
i called it yesterday (not to toot my own horn or anything), if it did fall, there would be battle for 2963
however, there as no battle, just buyers
very interested to see how today closes

yes i count them as 50 pips each but no i don't add multiple positions to 1 trade . Every position to me is a different trade goz i have taken them of diff reasons (in this case there were 3 reasons- bounce off fibchannel,small retrace from the bouce itself and another retrace).
Every trade has his own piprun so yes i add them togeather.
If i understand your point of view them i would have just made 41-45 pips (in this case this was the area where i made it)
Just want to see your thoughs on this . Example. If you enter E/U short you make +50 and...
ahh 41-45 pips is very good
especially if you had larger than NS on these runs
that is 120 pips but it doesnt matter if they were all 1/3 positions adding up to 1 full one, then its 40 pips
when i tell people my pip count for the day it is based off of NS position size
so if i had 100 pips with 1/2 positions it would be 50 pips for day, etc
although in theory yes, you did make 100 pips, but used less lot size
now if you entered 4 positions on the same move, all NS, then that would still be X amount of pips gained for the move, however, the % gain is a lot larger, since you are using 4 positions all at NS
so in that sense, when you go to report it, it makes sense that 50 pips = 200 (if you used four NS trades on the same run)
but if it was opposite and it was 1/4 positions, then your 50 pips would = 50 pips, because it equals out to normal size position
hard to explain, but ive seen people say "i made 600 pips today"
and i say oh really?, but you traded every pair with your leverage spread equally between them, so it really doesnt make a ny difference at all
that person didnt make 600 pips , etc, that person made 100 pips, in 6 diff currency pairs, all at 1/6 NS
so that would = 100 pips for the day
basically i see total pips for the day as total pips in normal size position.
and if pips were made on the same move they dont count twice just because you have two positions running
thats all i mean by it
edit: im horrible explaining so tried to explain myself better a few times

This is the difference between us. I take every pip as a pip, not is i trade 1/2 NS then 1pip is 1/2 pips.
this is because my NS could be someones 1/10 NS and if i make 100 pips this is for him 10 pips.and my 1/2NS could be someones 1/10NS.
The NS is just the size of money you trade.
I tried to explain as good as i can in english right now. Hope it's understandable.
