  1. No sure, you are right.

    But then most people on this site, I assume, are day trading (e.g. your M5 chart), trading D1's and W1's is about as exciting as librarians.

    I have a lot to think about.

  2. That's fighting talk.

    OK lets see,

    1. I didn't follow my plan and exited too early
    2. I listened to the news

    Can you add to that?

  3. And for the moment....my account is up :)

    But I won't be quitting the day job this lifetime bailing out of trades early.

  6. I am assuming you need a trend to make that many pips

    OK will read your thread, although I have a full time job so M5's are a pipe dream for me.

  7. Oh, and 3. system hopping. Although that's a potential transgression which has not been committed yet. Anymore?

    Talking a load of bs on trading forums?

  8. ...........................

    the market hands you trend 30% of the time.

    forex trades for 24 hour x 6 days.

    hundreds of ticks of trend, until it bends.
