hey guys
I have not posted anything in a while, but have been in and out of the forum here and there. i have been trading with a micro lot for and i have learned a ton of valuable lessons along the way- some good ones and some bad ones, and i am thankful that i went thru every experience that has brought me to where i am today. over the last few months, i have tweek my system and worked extremely hard on my discipline.
I stated trading and actual standard account this week and stuck to every rule that i had been practicing. i am up 60.5 pips for the week! 4 winners, 1 loser. My stragegy is simple: NO HOME RUNS!! I aim to get 10-20 pips per trade (most of the time 10-15 pips unless the market moves in my direction really fast). i got confident and went against my rule once and whaa laaa- there was my only loss…
thanks for all of your insight on this forum, i believe (the keyword is believe) that i am on my way now… 
Great to hear you’re on your way to success. Keep trading and stick to your rules. Discipline is one of the hardest parts of trading.
Thanks, Soul786! i appreciate the vote of confidence. And yes, you are sooooo RIGHT about discipline!! i have learned and am still learning that discipline is the key! trust, me- it was a rough road at first…
I am down that road as well … discipline is really hard when it comes to money. When you know that one trade could bring you more money than a safer one you start putting your hopes up and usually they all end bad. Every time this happens I learn a new lesson and I see that as a good thing - although it’s at my own expense.
