This was the perfect week for me : no overtrading (just 16 trades x2 lots in 4 trading days), no big risk taken, high win/loss ratio. Many trades were nulls (0-2 pips) again, most of them would be winners if were let to run. I am too cautious but this protects me from the big mistake.
In my view it is always incredible to see such stats, but what new comers need to learn from this is that to be able to achieve consistency, it has to be done with accepting losses, it is the only way we are ever going to find that perfect ratio of success, if we are not good in cutting losses or accepting them then we won’t be making profits consistently. I never have to worry over losses given that I use rebate program with OctaFX broker where I earn 15 dollars per lot size even on losing trade.
"When i trade at home, I often watch the sparrows in my garden. When I feed them bread, they take just a little piece at a time and fly away.They keep on flying back and forth, taking small bits of bread. You will never be able to shoot a sparrow, it is just too fast. That is the way I day trade". M. Weinstein.

There is nothing to sell on this blog. No signals, no "systems" for sale. Just my trading plan and the recording of my trades on eur/usd and the fx euro future recently. And the books, the music, the films I like.

I got a few pips and then I left monitors to take care of my daughters. When I came back, price was 70 pips down...
