See what I'm saying?
Yep! I see what you mean.

I do agree you would rarely make money, but it's not how often you make the money, it's how much you make. If you traded one scalp per month at 2% risk and won 70% of the time you could still make about 10% per year.

That's a low number in the forex world but still a good return on an investment. Really good considering it only takes a few minutes per month to do!
