![]() | feb 28 update GBPJPY short @ 125.59 stopped -62pips, short@126.68 stopped +26 pips Short@ 125.46 was interesting: as soon as the trade went on I've realized I'm wrong, this time the breakout might be real, so I manually closed trade at BE, and went long @126.27 with SL125.31, triple the normal position size, closed +202 pips. USDJPY similar situation, 1st short @79.88 stopped out -51pips, 2nd short@80.14 closed @ BE. | ||

![]() | money management / risk-reward strategy change fixed dollar amount risk / SL pips / pip value. I will use it grading the trades into: high risk - low dollars amount, medium risk - medium dollar amount, low risk - high dollar amount. The dollar amount is discretionary and it should be proportional to the size of account, meaning: use a fraction of an account larger than 10%. Last edited by SpecTrade; 02-28-2012 at 08:05 AM.

![]() | Update I still put trades, but just not that many, since I need peace and quiet. I could go to a coffee shop, but every time I leave the workers they make some mistake. When I finally have time, I will update all my trades that were opened during that time. I am in DD now, but no fear, I'm coming out of it. Strategy wasn't the problem. the problem was that I traded a completely new idea with real money on 4 pairs. Yeah, but that's me: after I started trading life I have no patience to forward test a new strategy. Good trading! | ||
