I can assure you that trading the smaller time frames is no different than trading with the daily, weekly or monthly charts. A robust trading system can be used on any time frame (except at the tick level, where the noise is extreme), and even on different, uncorrelated markets.

sure everything can work - just saying the majority of the moves on the shorter time frames in FX lack follow through
@Tradex Made some dinner money last night with GBP/AUD (and USD/JPY), at 200K-400K lots. My final conclusion with FX, is that it's way too taxing, when I can make a LOT more money trading stock index futures during the day, and get a good night's sleep!!! But if I am watching a movie at night, why not pay for it. It can get nasty, but I am consistent. My issue is that I get obsessed/absorbed, so I will only do it on Thursday nights, when my week's trading is over. I cashed out last night at 4am EST! These are my favorites. I looked over your journal, and my only suggestion is to optimize. Think Pareto's Law...
