sold more..

 

one minute you think your overtrading.. the next your doing the right thing.. completely random!

 

ranDDDom

 

I hear you saying upon making a mistake in entry sell more volatility.. got it

 

lightening the load..
BOT 20K EUR EUR.USD Cash 1.30151 USD IDEALPRO 02:50:56 ChartTrader1874258981 2.50 null sub account

in at 1.30225 out at 1.30151 74 pips on that one.. on top of the 40 pips from before. 114 pips total. everything else is unrealized..

currently short 40k in euro and short the puts still at 1.30..

not to throw things out of reality.. i took heat all the way up to 1.33 three hundred pips from break even at 1.30 but only on 10k i'm trying to keep my total amount from mounting to much in value.. thats why i started incrementing in odd 5k lots.. no reason other then its such a small size it keeps my head clear enough to be rational about things..
