Yep, totally understand that fear, had the same issue with my Buy Zone trading.
I think I don't have that issue anymore, but I think in exchange, I tend to feel undisciplined in my trading.

Look at where price is YEAR TO DATE (YTD).
Can you SEE OPPORTUNITY?
TRO,
You totally knocked my socks off when you posted this. I'm not a beginner, but I haven't been around long enough to consider yearly wick extremes...
How often do you check a gauge like this??
This is what I'd like to do to a yearly candle extremity wick:

Cosmoe1.
The Rat Trade has to be the most profitable trade to date...
More than Sweet Spot, Buy Zone, Shorting 5-10p from the high, all that.
In my opinion anyways

Spread?

again i could have gotten out with a tiny profit... but how would i ever be able to let profits run if i did this?
What is
5 * 2?
4 * 3?
If you make 4 - 5 trades and net 2 - 3 pips, that's 10 - 12 pips a day.
If you risk 2%, you increase your account by 2% or more.
You must first learn to capture the small pips BEFORE you go after the larger pips.
Sooner or later you get real lucky and catch a rocket for 10 or more pips.
You need an EXIT PLAY BOOK.
What do you do at:
+ 1 pip - wait
+ 2 pips - wait
+ 3 pips - move stop to break even
+ 4 pips - wait
+ 5pips - move stop to entry + 2
etc.... up to 20 pips or more.
Then STICK TO THE EXIT PLAY BOOK. Your job is to execute. The market will take care of the rest.
Hey TRO,
This EXIT PLAY BOOK is excellent; but I have one question regarding Spread.
I know you don't like paying spread but since I don't have enough money to make money spreadless, yet (unless you have some broker recomendations ) how should I include spread into this EXIT PLAY BOOK? Should I follow the EXIT PLAY BOOK as written and not take spread into account? or should I add spread in like this:
"at price plus +3 pips + spread move stop to BE (or even BE + spread)"?
Thanks TRO!!!
Tex
