It's about probabilities. And just as crucial giving the transaction the time it needs (YES times) to really play out. Chasing pips results in exiting places too soon for smaller profits, overtrading, and overanalyzing the normal changes you can't avoid on the market and ultimately clouds your judgement. I know it's hard to walk away from the trade as soon as your hard earned cash is at stake, but that is why proper risk management, position sizing, and stop losses must be used. Likeforexforum.co.zamanhood RicardoDS said in my previous thread, ”A stop loss should be put in a zone where the transaction idea becomes invalid, the majority of the traders place their stop loss in a means to achieve the risk reward they desire, and it is wholly wrong. A trader will remain unprofitable until he/she realize this.” If you can't go to bed peacefully because one of the trades are available, you're not using optimal money management. Simple as that. You see an original zone which has been created and has not been tested however that price is coming and reveals a good risk: reward opportunity, you put in an order and continue to live your own life. In the end, not one of us can predict the market, we are only trying to put the odds in our favor. If I profit my 2 (see my previous post) I consider it and continue on to become adept in my own approach. Inside this field nothing is 100 percent and that's why you want the ideal mindset to live in the long term. Meanwhile, I continue on saving to cultivate my account (I am currently deployed so that helps tremendously) and concentrate on learning the ideal knowledge needed to succeed in this market.
