  7. 20 pips? that's a nice round number

    congratulations on the trade

    I think that's the first one you posted without a definite target.

    Wasn't this how the whole thing started out?

    You wanted to start trading by rules and not by the seat of your pants?

  8. Agreed. This is why the thread has a word "hard" in the title. I have to learn from my mistakes otherwise this will be just pointless exercise.

  10. hard to know when to stick by the rules when sometimes it's so obvious you should break them

    the one that gets me is when you break them, and in hindsight it becomes so obvious if you had just stuck with them you would be doing just fine
