I am just taking short rides but it's good for the soul to book 100 dollars or so over and over and over and over
I think this is my style - put a really small position on for long term ( a day or two+) and to heck if they fluctuate 500 pips in between - and no s/l
and then put larger positions on as 20 to 50 pip jumbo scalps and watch em in real time with strict and large-ish s/l's which wont be approached anyway if i am doing it real time - as soon as it goes 20 to 50 pips in either direction - get out
seem to work for me and I have learned to ignore my 20 pip scalp which then continues on another 100 pips (if only i had stayed in ..) as long as i am banking over and over again then that's ok
All this about letting your successes ride doesn't work for me - i always lose it back
yes jumbo scalps is the way for me
Any time I try big positions with s/l's wide or small and try for big pips, i seem to lose out
