it was supposed to be great week for me until i went short again 12205 and got whiped ! well i guess trading is more to do with control of mind and sense than anyother chart techniques , yet to get that control ! in plus500 i can set my sl not 20 pips from the current price . is the same in the other brokers too ? i guess i need to switch to igmarkets asap
At Admiral markets I get 25 euro margin for 1E/point contract and you can set sl anywhere. Plus500 is a scam.

An example
There are all sorts of excuses for overtrading, including the common assertion that frequent trading contributes to one's "feel" for the market. In reality, however, the chop, chop losses that often accrue with overtrading contribute to the very psychological problems--frustration, loss of discipline--that traders recognize lead to a loss of market feel. The real question is whether frequency of trading is positively correlated with P/L. Very often that correlation is zero or negative. Periods of more active trading correlate with worse trading performance--not better market feel.

It's no coincidence that one of the most read TraderFeed posts deals with why we trade emotionally. We typically encounter psychological issues in trading because we're overinvolved in markets, not because we lack commitment or passion. Indeed,too often passion is used as the excuse for addictive trading.

Very important comment from him :
Nowhere is this dynamic more prevalent than in the frequency of people's trading. For the most part, traders trade with a frequency that suits their needs for involvement, not their objective assessments of opportunity. The result is overtrading--taking many more trades than opportunity rewards.

Took me several years to stop the overtrading habit.
But that time I was not so familiar with Market Profile/TPO charts
That (and a few orher things) showed me/learned me how to " behave" and become better in trading
