Thanks, chiche... Yes, a lot of fear... What happens is that I am trying this system first time and with gbpjpy and the previous candle is so big...

All the best!

Hi Jmmn,

I'm a newbie so I dare not comment too much. But I would like to share with you my experience and psychological and emotions portion. Always ask yourself can you stomach the risk?

I started off as a newbie listening to people and those signals, and nice, I lose more than $6K in my capital. But after that, I spend a lot of time reading up and asking myself. Why people are telling you to risk 1% to 2% of your capital in each trade? And what is your position size?

Reason is simple, you cannot be always on the winning side. At the same time, you can't be so unlucky (like me) keep losing as well.

Assuming you have a capital of $10K, this means each trade your Stop Loss should be either $100 or $200 (1% or 2%). Ask if today you walk on the road and lost $100.. what would you do? Well, eat bread for the next 2 to 3 days to save up. Nothing matters at all to you. Lol.. then your risk is good to go at 1%.

With risk management in place, always go for 1:2 or 2:1 (whatever you name it the way) ratio the min. Meaning you risk $100, your TP must be a place where it can reach $200. Or somewhere closes to it like 190pips, 192pips, 198pips, or 201pips, etc. assuming 1 pip is $1. <-- If you cannot measure a potential TP area, DONT RISK IT until you are professional enough to know how to open multiple positions (or 3 positions closing 2 and leaving 1 to run).

If you maintain this management, you need to only win 4 times out of 10 times (40% winning ratio) and still be profitable. <-- this was taught to me by one of my trading friend.

I hope my reply helps and lastly, I'm still learning friend.. LOL.

Cheers!

When you start, try baby steps (small position) so you can get used to the fear of being in the red and learn to trust. I felt the same way not so long ago, it will feel better, cheers M

Hi Bk8, I have some questions on how to handle the SL:
1. If 2 positions of 1 pair are in profit but the 1st one still doesnt hit the TP (=SL), do you move SL for both in next day?
2. If 1st position hit TP the will you move SL of 2nd one to break even or to the highest/lowest of previous candle +/- 15 pips?
Thanks!

Dear Guests, Please read post#1 and and wait till 5:00 PM to get started, it wont help anyone if we keep posting unnecesary questions. Please see below, how others are struggling due to so many posts "I write the Moderator is reviewing my message. With the speed of your thread no one will be abe to see it Thanks in advance for your help." "
Or send them in chat room and a lot of people are available to help them out. They are feeling tired of making money anyway.

Dear people, I did not take any trades today. Any ideas as to how to handle any possible pullbacks to enter, or new set ups? Since I am 2 hours in front of London time, it is not a convenient time to wait for spreads to go back to normal - that would be at least 1 a.m. for me. Any ideas and suggestions welcome!

Sunday is usually the same issue for me, I still entered the trades this morning though when i woke up. During the week should be ok though? spreads aren't that bad in the evenings.
So many in the Commercial section want to make me rich! :o

If you want to be a little risky,you can take a position on Friday , just before the close..but on the other hand ,you don't know ,where it will open..it could be a big gap..and the swap

Well, you acted smarter than me. I have the problem that I hate entering once the move has started, but I forget that it will continue, especially when it is a strong one! Any ideas as to what to do now about the A/C, E/A - I was thinking of doing limit orders - for A/C at 0.7364, and for E/A at 1.4863. And A/N at 1.0304.

Well take a look at mine. I maybe should have just taken this on the open, but as you can see it is still going in our favour.
