No, dear TraderGad, so sorry to read that... You will make it! Just stuck to your stoplosses next time. Maybe you can have a partner whos responsability will be just to liquidate your position if it hit the stop ? In change you can give him/her a percentage of your winnings or in alternative simply kill him/her and have your losses running?
decided to place stop according to market volatility.....see the widest range bar in near past and use that range to decide the stop.... i think that would set the right stop and not be stooped out by noise
Lower your winning pct, raise you reward to risk ratio. You're failing because win rates higher than 70% are unsustainable unless you're a computer program with tireless precision of execution.
1 minute charts : These are suicide unless you are an expert in all facets of trading ! The 1 minute is several time frames below daily so thus magnifies your emotions that many times over. Virtually impossible to stay in the game long term trading this time frame (1 min) It all depends on what your looking for out of the markets, any time you feel anxiety, any time you feel stressed or right after buying feel you've made a mistake is a clear indication that one needs to stop and redesign ones approach to this game. At the end of the day your PnL is a feedback mechanism, you don't have to listen to me.
