Just re-reading thru your posts Alias and came across this gem....

Im trading a micro at the moment with ten cent pips and so while trying to keep risk down, sizing up or down lot size without each trade becoming too large a percentage of my account is a bit hard until I increase the account and my consistancy. I managed to average a second position correctly (just once so far) and the return was just stupid for one trade (22% from memory)

The idea of using different lot sizes to compensate for order position never occured to me because at the moment Im a little hamstrung by the small account size, but your note on doing this just filled in another little piece of the puzzle for me. Thankyou

You should be concerned about your leverage "mostly" when you make
your initial position. When you add then leverage becomes less of a
concern and the focus becomes on placing your average with s/r between
current price and your average price.

At this point protect your capital and don't allow your loss to become larger
than you initially planned.

brathen.

that long on GJ seem to be paying well.

I dont know how exactly you analized it. But i see a 4h MZ long from that bottom.

I am curretly having problems to take the trades. I analize properly but find a way to sabotage my way to take the good trades.

You are welcome to post here bro. I like what you are doing on the long
timeframes. I would love to learn that exit/continuation/enter again thing
you show. Something else I'll have to research. :)

So do you still have any emotional quirks that you think holds you back?
Emotions F'ing up your trading plan is a big issue for a lot of traders. If
you can discuss your "mental demons", people like JUAN and others can
learn from it.
