Discovered rather quickly that posting a P/L here is lots of fodder for the hecklers hence the switch to pip count. Pips are $ too!
Correct, Pips are money but you continually fail to post the pip loss on the runaway positions, last trade you just vaguely said you exited much higher on a full leveraged run away loss. You are very excited about your micro wins and hide the acct busting losses. Third time in as many threads, two of which were results of over the weekend hold on losing positions. +13, +7, -1, +8 on half size, ya ya big deal. What was the exact pip loss on the last MAXED out position from 1.3039 avg Long? At what time and at what price did you exit? Without posting the losses, posting your wins mean absolutely zero. Anyone can try to look good on a journal if all they post is their wins. Unfortunately, the Market doesn't provide resets like a paper acct does. You can't just keep the trades you like.
Already moved on that trade is ancient history in pip time. A lot to learn about trading yet. In my favor is I have an aptitude or instinct for this. Those small wins are a big deal to me. Look how many winners to losers I have....8 or 9 winners for every loser. Hard to lose $ with a great win record such as that.
LOL Nope, those days are over. From here on I keep all my trades tight. I'm resetting the pip counter to "0" NOW. Let's see how many pips I can rack up in the next 30 days. Presently short from 2874. I can add only ONCE to any trade, loser or winner. 30 days = 1000 PIPS! Trading style = instinctual
Winners vs losers is an important metric to keep your eyes on isn't it? How are you shopster? Which time frame do you trade these days?
