The hard road to consistency

if it didn't get hit were you going to hold? or do you always go home flat?

 

yeah, this kind of small mistake repeated many times can have significant impact on your end of the month result. It is much better to keep the target intact.

 

I would hold till either stop or target hit or the end of the New York session

 

I like the way you handle yourself, you should talk more about your set ups and how you set your targets.

That bracket trading is a hard way to go.

There's always this thing in the back of my mind, "Tight stops does not a good trader make, just a slow loser."

But that was a good one tonight, or today, do you live over here or over there?

 

I live in London, I couldn't trade properly at 3 am
Oldtime, do you still keep your long EUR ? What is your typical strategy for bailing out of losing trades ?

 

no trader in their right mind should trade the way I do. You're doing just fine. I admire your discipline. Especially on days when all you do is post, "No trades today."

 

today P/L: 647$
