I think you're doing the same thing that I am and you're trying to find that elusive sense of control. The lesson that I learned today was that trading in the short-term is very difficult due to some wild swings that happen. So you hit some of these swings and emotion tends to take over. I'm presently backing off in my test account and moving towards a longer-term strategy. This is due in part to watching swings in the GBP/JPY that scared the living begeezus outta me. I think I squeaked out 25-30 pips today but I can't say my anxiety level was anywhere near as good.
