Yes, I need to cut size until my new plan according to new schedule starts working.My biggest problem now is how to take profits.

I am down today too, but started getting a footing as I feel it. again, I was up 25-35 pips on my first trades but ended all BE, before Nymex opened than all hell broke lose. Incredible volatility. 5-15 min candles pretty much were useless, I started only getting what I wanted after moving to just 1 min which worked well this time. Nevertheless could not trade back losses incurred while getting i trades on 5 min. I have started having idea of what it might be my new plan for new schedule. will be checking charts on weekend and put it down on paper. First of all if I am looking for 40-50 pips d...

I think there is only few moments when more pips can be sought. Like my yesterday short form 88.00 and for example trades shorting failed break outs of 90.50

Yes, I turned very good day into nasty loss. before I lost it every trade but one loser was giving me at least 40 pips. I picked only one and the rest ended as BE. I will stick with 30-50 pips. 40 pips I see pretty regularly.

Today It might sound funny, but I kicked my ass again. Probably got in love with big winners and stopped taking smaller winners. all my BE trades which were 3-4 went 40-60 into profit and i got only $0. which made me very angry and I lost ability to see what market was doing and started making mistakes. I think that I should set my trade/ daily goal and stop looking for big winners except for very strong s/r areas that hold before. so I think 30-50 pips per trade would be just fine. I know why this is happening. changed schedule and plan that I used cannot work cause i start much later and wha...

Yes, I think the key here same size positions. I got my ass kicked last week cause increased trading sizes. I think position size should be kept same unless volatility is too high and it can be reduced form regular size to accommodate wider stops like it was few weeks ago when 5 min candles were 50 pips and instead to look for more pips. I usually use position sizing by dividing my balance either on 10 000 or 5000. I think we all should keep same size while trading to avoid being hit hard if we increase size and lose. I have been thinking of adding to winning position but first position must b...

today was slightly better. I think daily target of 40-60 pips is just fine. again the most important thing is patience. first long was good but news volatility took me out at break even, was a very good call. second was sloppy and I lost it and the last I think I entered too late. could have had better entry just under 87.80.

I am not happy. Bad trading actually. must calm down and get patient again. The problem is that with schedule changes my plan has changed too. I need to come and wait for another development cause I am coming into middle of what was developing at night. But it is changing. I will force myself to start being very patient to wait for trades with bigger pay out at least 1.5 for 1 risk.I also think that 2% daily loss rule was premature, as I was pointed that i would not take my 102 pips trade had I followed the rule. But same size for all trades stays.

Before this DD I noticed that my average loss and average winner got same 1:1. It was the first time. I would like to move it into positiove territory and to maintain 50+ preferably 60% hit rate.

I also think so. Just need to adapt, improve entries and R:R per trade.

I have to adjust to trading just 3-4 hours a day. Opening trades at London makes no sense as I cannot manage them.

The biggest problem is that I cannot trade all hours I wish. The break between 6:00 and 9:40 when I am not at home hurts. was +60 in long trade was aiming at 100 pips but ended BE.

Reasons of current loss were too much leverage increased size and no daily loss limit.Hence since now on I introduce 3 iron clad rules that will prevent me from ever again haivng this kind of loss:1. MAXIMUM DAILY LOSS 2% OF THE ORIGINAL BALANCE. ONCE 2% LIMIT PER DAY REACHED STOP TRADING TILL NEXT DAY.2. ALWAYS TRADE SAME SIZE AND NEVER INCREASE IT WHEN SUFFER LOSS.3. WHEN COMING TO COMPUTER AFTER WORK FOR BREAK DO NOT START TRADING RIGHT AWAY. TAKE 10-15 MIN BREAK, CHECK SITUATION, ANALYZE BEFORE TAKING A TRADE AND WAIT FOR ENTRY ONCE THERE IS A SIGNAL ACCORDING TO ABOVE RULES.
