If a person trades using small lot sizes, it is easy to not stick to a method as they think ,,,Oh it is only a few £££ or $$$$ if I lose so what!, But even small lots are a percentage of a bigger bank roll...
Think the same (POSITIVE) A SMALL LOT SHOULD BE TRADED EXACTLY THE SAME AS A LARGE LOT..
small gains add up and it will not happen over night..

I am totally on board with this, having learned the hard way.

Cable, Fri Daily candle, we have a high and a low, Trade the break SIMPLE. Only trouble is we are into the weekend, It is better to leave weekend trades alone especially this weekend with Bank Holiday and the Chinese Problem, Most of the big guys have not put any orders out due to uncertainty in China.
Speaking Bank Holiday, it doesn't really matter to a daily break trader after a few pips, we may not even have a break.

July low is very close to being broken, if it does good %%% can be made. You just need to know how to trade it.
Maybe use daily break with several lots and let them run closing selected ones.

edit, Cable Candle shown ,, I highlighted inside/outside bars

edit ,,, E/J monthly showing lots of indecision for 3 months, cannot comment as I have no idea

Hi Pipradar, I am wise enough to know that I only need a simple method to make %%%%
I am always looking at charts looking for patterns/signs then look for probabilities of them happening again. As in the daily break we have normally a consistent 10 or lots more after break...
. It is that 10 I aim for (10 minus spread)

edit,,, forget about retrace etc, we'll look at that later.

edit,,,AND it does fail

Yesterday Claudia the madam/mam/darling/missus had a trade set up for 09-30 morning with a high and low to be triggered after a news release . It did shoot up then retraced. This is good to do but be wary of broker adjusting spread/minimum stop etc. I did something similar with oil years ago, just wait for spikes.

hi, I have traded most of the E/J trades and a smaller percentage of Cable..
Those stats are based on a high/low being broken and at least 10 pips being made and it doesn't matter how much the trade retraced as long as it came back for the 10 (to allow for spread).. Similar to having no stop.
If I was using just a strict 20 stop I would of had several more fails...
you have to learn how to trade bad trades, the boys in the pits knew how to do it (and gals) I assume they were allowed..

I would of let Claudia into the pit
