You're right. Although, I want to make sure that I'm sticking to the plan. 10 pips at least and the allotted lot for the time frame. I only up'd the lot amount in attempt to recover. But I'll be sticking to the 0.05 until next month.

My $10 to $1000 trading journey

Interesting offer and seemingly very generous of you to execute your services for "free". However, I have a few questions... 1. Why does the proposed strategy have to be a proven one or even profitable? Nothing is guaranteed to work 100%. ...
