I don't know what you call these trades. Definitely not scalp! I tried swing (is it?) trade today and failed miserably. It took me nearly 12 hours to get that +71.7 pips! Not good enough!

I just cannot trade EU profitably, need to divorce it!

Good Job once again, Sun ☼

Well Done again - although 12 hrs to get 71.7 pips - that Sun is a long term investment - more like a pension plan ;-))

I just closed my EUR/USD long :

My 2 cents regarding 12 hours to get 72 pips - At least surely this was less stressful- you were not watching the monitor like a hawk, perhaps some of the hours were spent in dreamland. As for me somehow the 100 pip number is magical, it just gives a lot of satisfaction.

Actually - you are correct Oasis - 71 pips in a day - is great work whether in 2 hrs or over 12 hrs. And only doing 5 trades is easier than when Sun took 39 yesterday. I suppose it finding the happy medium which you feel comfortable with - and after all - any profit is better than a loss. 

For me thought today - if I had been wanting an easy trading day - I would have stopped after 28 mins after being lucky enough to catch a 48 pip move in that time - and then have stopped. After thousands of trades though - it does just end up like "peeling potato's" or washing the car and you can detach from the main stress and just enjoy the process

Yes, Peter, each one to his own. I cannot imagine me trading your way! Good job Sun.
