looks better, but... i get "wiggled" out a lot! and the commissions using mbt turned the small profit into overall loss.

advice?


1) Looks like you are OVERTRADING.

2) Looks like you are JUMPY. That last trade would have made you a pile of pips.

Remember, sooner or later, price is going to reverse for a bunch of pips.


I agree that he is overtrading.

He lacks commitment to one direction.

When you try to unfold the market, the only thing that gets unfolded is your account.

Trading in one direction is an excellent answer to the commitment problem.

The first 2 trades were against H1, the others were with H1 and you could have come out with profit.

Or taken smaller losses by dumping when a candle closes against you.

..that may be yale territory, cant remember if the instructions allow for that :)

tro's advice was to take rather a full stop instead of a smaller one since price can always reverse.

look at the chart from yesterday when i got out with small profits. i missed the big run. so following tro's advice i tried to let the profits run today.

tomorrow i'll definately trade with h1 color, thanks. :)
