+63 for the week, around 40 of them are at my normal lot size which I'm more than happy with, while the others have been very low risk, lowered lot size. I've not made that many trades this week either compared to a usual week.

Yeah, this is the last trade of the day I'm making but gonna just leave it on and see what happens, if it goes against me I'll still be in a fair bit of profit from my 19 pip short move this morning, I'm only risking about 30% or so of what I made ...

What would you do - time/money spent?

Big news out for CAD & USD at 1.30pm, normally USDCAD spikes on such events so I'm gonna place a buy and sell order to catch it and close for a quick profit, hopefully.

In that case, try this, I was told this off another trader and thought it was stupid until I tried it, when you enter a trade using real money, if you're using MT4, instead of having it on the 'TRADE' tab where you can see your current balance, P/L ...

What would you do - time/money spent?

You say you have the skills to make 5-8%, you probably do, many people can and know how to trade however its their mental mindset that stops them, I can only guess this is whats prevented you from making a profit in 5 years? If I was a robot with no ...

GBPUSD looks like its in a decent resistance area, not entered short on it yet, waiting for a breakaway, or if it moves up, the 1.5575 area would be a likely place it'd reverse.

I've just entered short on EURUSD @ 1.2395 on the bounce off 1.24, hopefully the price will reverse a decent amount from the whole number. SL is tight @ 1.2415. TP is 1.2351 but may close if it fails to break through the 1.2360 area...if it goes ...

Yeah when I had a week off the charts it took me a bit to 'get back in the zone', if I traded every opportunity I seen then I'd be considerably richer, sometimes I'm not sure about entering so I don't, then the price goes in the direction I would of ...

It would of been the ecb min bid rate release. I think most pairs whipsawed where EU just dropped, I was going to short a few pairs but in the end bottled it. Still, in profit for the day from a £/$ short this morning.
