One more person fairly new to Foreign Exchange here.
I have stopped having the problem that you describe, but if you go through the progression I have been going through, you will realize there are other and different problems ahead of you. I find that I'm making lots of pips from lots of great trades EXCEPT I am often getting out of great trades too early, occasionally staying in poor trades overly long, and fairly frequently lacking the confidence in yourself to await a trade to mature while it goes against me to get a few of pips or just very slowly gains only a couple of pips. Timing is one of my biggest problems.
I'm open to any sort of advice on the best way to cure these problems and I suspect they are fairly common probems and reflect a phase in the development of several traders.
I understand that part of my difficulty is that I'm financially challenged which makes me overly careful. I am certain that curing my fiscally challenged condition will correct this. It prevents me from placing my ceases in which they ought to be because I can't afford to lose that much. I'm pretty certain that this part of my difficulty is lack of finances because when I paper trade with stops where I believe they ought to be I do well and do not get kicked out of great trades.
I'm not certain that there's a cure for my own problems but I'm open to any and all suggestions.
I'm currently using an range of technical indiors to direct my trading, in addition to buying and selling pressure because a further confirmation.
I occasionally exchange the news, and when I do I just occasionally do nicely, again time is an issue.
