    Is the retail daytrader an endangered species?

    not sure how long you have been trading but it takes about 5 years full time to get consistant profits. The hardest thing is overtrading you dont need to be in the market everyday. If it in consilodation just wait till a trend starts again .

    Average Monthly Pips Profit

    My goal is 60 pips a week ,250 a month. Hardest part to do this is not to trade. Waiting for a good setup and not to over trade. Can get 60 pips in one trade some times. I only use a 30 pip stop and rather take a loss and wait for another setup . If you trade 4 lots that 10K a month .
