I think in my last post I phrased things unclearly.
I started my demo with $1000 a couple of weeks ago, when I was jumping around amongst 3 or 4 different systems and ideas.
Today, with my balance at roughly $600, I started concentrating only on EMA Step.
End of day I had around 96 pips. Wish I hadn't given so many back.

You are ME about 18 months ago!....THOSE EXTRA PIPS!!! "If only i hadnt been greedy and gone for a few more trades!"
Trading often seems like two steps forward one step back............seriously i feel like that soooooooooooo often!
Dude......You didn't give them back, you traded safely within your risk tolerance...and walked away from the day in profit with your capital not only intact but increased.
You should be smiling my friend, enjoy what you have, don't regret what you lost.......or you will always be looking backwards into the past looking at your losses....perhaps feel a little low about them and possibly overtrade as a consequence.
If you win alot in the morning, walk away, go have a pint, spend some time with the ppl ya love.........mission accomplished
Have you ever been in a bar and watched someone playing the fruit machine?
When someone who kinda knows how to really play them comes along, they'll pump money into it until it "drops" flooding the bar with the sounds of coins hitting the collection tray underneath.
Now, they have a choice here, walk back to the bar, and get those coins changed into notes and buy ya mates a drink..........OR .......put it all back in, in the hope that it might "drop" again?
How many times have we seen someone put it allllllll back in, and end up walking away with a disgusted look on their face and a slimmer pocket?
If you manage to "drop" a trade, be wise, walk away....................and buy your mates a beer
