11 winning trades = + 55pips
9 loosing trades = -90 pips

common how you can be profitable with such odds.

7) If the rules do not mention it, then it is of no concern.

6) Take whatever profit you can.

Not what losses you can.

Isn't taking 1 pip better than losing 10?

Yes, he is over trading.

Start balance was $197.73

at one time the account was $203.03

203.03 - 197.73 = 5.30

5.30 / 197.73 = 2.68 %

GAME OVER.

Reading from what you said, 30 pips and 50 pips respectively sound reasonable?

...given TRO trades 5m with a 10 pips SL (already included spreads)

so the screen shot is of H4 time zone, is it mostly what you trade on. +5/7 pips on H4 isnt it very low?


When trading the Rat on a large TF I use 1/10 leverage.

5 pips = 50 pips.

You get the same result with less risk but you have to wait out a larger move.

I call it long term scalping :lol:


You can easily make money using what TRO showed you as well.

Just please look at the surrounding PA.

If price is skyrocketing upwards on a >60* angle then you are a dumb ass if you take a short trade.

Try and mix it with logic...

If you are trading the short term charts then pick one direction.

If you are frequently getting stopped out then that should encourage you to use limit orders.



If you are trading the Macro Rat then your SL is the midpoint between the highest high and entry point.

Your leverage is reduced to 1/10 to "scalp" the long term charts.

A 34 pip SL then becomes the equivalent of a 3.4 pip SL
