If there is one thing that this thread has officially concluded after ~85 pages it's that newbies don't have a strategy. Experienced fools stick to a strategy. Experienced professionals don't stick to a strategy.
Experienced professionals fools don't need to stick to a strategy. They have too much OPM to throw at their research geeks. Win win for all

{quote} NO. You can make a good bet and get SL hit. You can make a bad bet and get TP hit. Just because you hit TP does not mean you will hit TP again with same setup or same entry.
Curious if anyone has tried to make just one pip per trade/day consistently (after spreads/commissions)... even in demo for more than a year?

Edit: or 1$ or 0.01% whatever works for you

{quote} You have to go for the home runs. If you swing just to go to the next base there is no guarantee that you will reach home base.
I understand that. I am just asking if anyone has attempted this feat. Even if it is net pip/$/% for hour/day/week or whatever.
i have tried it but only as realized profit and not via 'Close-All'... which is worthless attempt. This was manual before I could code. Now with my automation n, it might be worth the try

{quote} I think you are trying to trade like you would a job. That is get regular income to pay the bills. I tried and it did not work for me. Market conditions change over time. For you to get regular pips on a daily, weekly basis the market conditions has to remain the same for your lifetime.

{quote} Yep. I am in no rush to get rich from trading. My career remains my primary focus. Trading I just my passion and therapy to ignore the chaos in the world around me. I already have a date in mind to quit and live off the bush by myself and my satellite dish :-)

Heheheheh..I can smell some permaculture in mind. We have similar ideals :-)

Imagine a small community off the grid in a productive setting who are like minded, can pull their weight....are proficient traders and like growing their own organic produce. Now that's what I call nirvana.

{quote} You are no professional trader. If you are trying to make a living off trading you will blow your account. You don't even know how to apply MM as you get SL hit all the time. Your ADX breakout strategy backtested shows a huge loss. You are a low TF trader where all the losing traders are. No original ideas since candlesticks-what rubbish
The fact that your handle is of a woman who has been twice knocked out and is no longer fighting tells us all what you are about.

Now, because again, I have an obligation to those who read what I post, getting stopped out often is part of the game. As long as you stick to the traders equation, you will be fine.

Awesome....now the only prerequisite required is..........what's your wife like?....../tic :-)

PS Only joshin'.....but I have thought seriously about the perma-culture concept with a group of like minded individuals who are well capitalised, have no debts and can trade for wealth creation as a long term income stream (the primary obstacle for an 'alternative' collective) ....Work and resource sharing and opportunities as a collective (for example to acquire holiday retreats across the world) has a certain ring of joy about it. Food forests rock!!!!!

My idea of consistency is being able to pay the bills monthly.

{quote} ROFL. how much of a noob are you? Surely your mind cannot be that simple. VEEFX, is this the answer to your consistency question? to pay monthly bills.
If you are a professional trader, your goal is to live off of what you produce, right?

Stop playing with a small account, and you will find that ten pips a day will pay your bills son.

What the hell are you talking about. Tell that to the hundreds of thousands on guys in Chicago and New York and then went down to the pits over the last 150 years. Sure maybe not all of them, but the vast majority of them where working men. They went down with a stake, tried to learn the business, and tried to make money to support their families.

Amen brother.

This is business not picnic.
Do it because you love it, not because it's fun.
If you love it, you'd sacrifice your life for it.
If you just do it for fun, you'd go broke like many other losers.

Just like marriage, you married some one because you love her not because you want to have some fun.
If you love her, you'd sacrifice your life for her and do your best to keep things in order, peace and bring joy out of your marriage to the world.
If you just want to have fun with her, better do not get married instead having a one night stand with some ho is better I reckon but you'll live in misery tho (not to mention the disease and getting broke).
