Quote from achilles28:
There you go. Someone who knows more about trading for low pips than i.
The point is:
If you loose 6-10 pips you can gain back within a day or two (and you will have money to take the next trade)... but time based exit will save you some pips as you will close the trades with -4 pips, if it does not move in your direction...
Why small target of 3-6 pips: Easy to gain in any choppy market... small drawdown, so you can trade more lots with high leverage and easy to compound... Shorter the time you stay in the market lesser the risk...
With practice -- most of your trades will be winners... and trade with discipline and try to end every day with positive equity (you have three sessions)... That's all... KISS...
Cheers,
You have given me an idea to add to my arsenal...
