Its better trading with a 2 digit account then a 6 digit account when you don't know what you are doing.

I knew a guy who turned his 6 digit account into 3 digits trading stock options.

He had to get a job afterwards.

It's better to get stopped out, margin called, on a 2 digit account than a 6 digit.

Emotions are pretty much the same whether you trade with a micro-lot or a 10 lot.

There is not much difference really.

I feel more confident now because what I do now I know it works.

Back then even though I traded very small lots it was scary because I wasn't confident in my trades.

I got 8.3 pips in a retrace from a big move breakout.

I try to use the TRO never loose again, but it was too quick. So, I scalped instead.

How you got those 1000 pips? in what system? are you using for how long? etc?etc?

I doubled checked it was around 650 pips, but it felt like 1000 pips.

Just on the euro, gbp, jen, loonie and aud.

Also short gold from 1360 to 1345.

Also long the E-mini ES S&P500 from 1172 till 1176
