how many trades do u take in a week?
It varies. When my system indicates a trade, i take it. When my system does not indicate a trade, I stay out.
Fear prevent possibilities, and so does Greed

If you are afraid of the trading fees, you will never be a trader.

Agree. Fees are only a small part of our cost, and some brokers even return bonus if you trade well enough.

this depends on your trading style. If you're a scalper, fees are a big part of your cost

Yes that's why each trader has to find his own trading style/risk in order to be profitable according to all parameters (fees, average pips profit, etc ...).

Can't even think such kind of trading. Probably you are using an EA ??

no, I stack after news
and I only trade x/JPY

for example for $1k with 1:500 leverage;
lot size: 0.05

when all x/jpy move in same direction:
chf/jpy x 0.05 x 2
usd/jpy x 0.05 x 2
eur/jpy x 0.05 x 2
aud/jpy x 0.05 x 2
nzd/jpy x 0.05 x 2
cad/jpy x 0.05 x 2

as all of them are green, I don't take profit but add more positions. (ofc I check 1h/4h/1d/1w charts)

(if x/jpy is rangebound I TP 8-10 pips)

seriously, entering frequency is very similar to a man's shot frequency

it is limited!

often, one loves to trade frequently, but just similar to shoot ---- you can't do it too many in a short period; and you do it more now, you'll lose it soon in the long run.

yeah, enter, but with a sane mind, lol

For me it really depends on the situation. If I close a position on monday for instance, I will probably just open up a new one right away. So it
basically depends on the time of how long the position is being opened.
