Help! These breakouts are killing me

No sure, you are right.

But then most people on this site, I assume, are day trading (e.g. your M5 chart), trading D1's and W1's is about as exciting as librarians.

I have a lot to think about.

you original post has all the flaws of a newbie.

start correcting them, one by one or you will blow out, like the other 98% strewn along the side of the hiway.

That's fighting talk.

OK lets see,

1. I didn't follow my plan and exited too early
2. I listened to the news

Can you add to that?

I am assuming you need a trend to make that many pips

OK will read your thread, although I have a full time job so M5's are a pipe dream for me.

Oh, and 3. system hopping. Although that's a potential transgression which has not been committed yet. Anymore?

Talking a load of bs on trading forums?

But are 250 days of the year trend days?

...........................

the market hands you trend 30% of the time.

forex trades for 24 hour x 6 days.

hundreds of ticks of trend, until it bends.
