I guess we should also characterize trades. If I were to break down my trades into actual ideas and not putting the positions on themselves it'd probably be more like 3-6. I usually scale in/out so actual trades from a trade log are more.
You can even see it in the charts. Count everyday the big waves. I average between 1.79 and about 3 trades a day for the last year. Depending on how the markets are.
3 trades. Still long from 2111.50 with 3 points stop at 2108.50. 153241[/ATTACH] Out was 2102.75 something went wrong when I wrote the price on the chart.
