It all depends on your trading perspective.

You could be too far away also.

Dax scalp mode. Have put in levels Kevin often speaks about and which I find useful. And my trusty Laura "Roadmap." {image}

I think profit taking is in order here at Prev. low. Don't want to give back or push my luck and my morning stint is over ( after 10amUK)

Oh yeah, the news release.

https://www.forexlive.com/news/japan...wide-20230315/


Japan PM Kishida says aiming to raise minimum wages beyond ¥1,000 nationwide

For some context, the minimum wage in Japan now is ¥961, which will kick into effect in the next fiscal year starting April. So, at the minimum that's at least a 4% increase. Other worker unions are likely to see a higher average bump in wages

Thats like JPY will be £6.20 p/hr , so an increase of 20p

I didn't realise it was that low compared to UK @ £10.42, USA @ £9.29 not offered qualifying health insurance and AUS @ 11.81 per hr.

Coverted all to £ at current rates of exchange.

Shabs
Yes I take your point, but I think we all have the same objectives, that's to make a profit from our trading
You have found your edge with a very ridge approach and a fix set of ,lets say rules
But you still have a stop and a target that you need to but into place by pressing the button with your finger
All I am saying is
I want to trade but I do not want to sit hour upon hour, day after day screen watching
If I make a plan, test it , see within reason what stops and target need , does it match my account etc
I can set it all up by various orders and wait for it to happen good or bad
If need be, once the trade becomes live I can tweak it till my hearts content
Over the last few days there as been much heated debate over lets just say (direction) well surely if we believe in 1 min pin bars we should believe in Daily, Weekly and Monthly Candles
Some guys just want a little extra cash and just how ever much the want to give up the day job, they just cannot

Look Shabs, that is all very well.

But until I can get a proper reference point, I just dont know what all this money conversion means

Can you give me some idea of the relative costs of certain things between Aus & Jpn, that are important please

Beer is one way to compare, but as u know TT, the big fund managers use the Big Mac Index for country comparisons

Your last point, about giving up a day job. You don't need to, it really boils down to how you trade & plan your trades.

If you need to continuously monitor your trades, or if you are starting to make some serious bucks that can replace your salary & more, then maybe.

But I think you don't need to. If you are constantly tweaking your trades once they are live ? is that stoploss placement or locking in profits ?
You are not moving SL when you are experiencing DD are you ?

Trade direction, I like to say that I can tell more times than not. I think this comes down to experience and how a particular instrument behaves at Mkt Opens, News Events and even days of the week. There has been a lot of good discussion on this thread about that.

Your lot sizes will change depending on the risk, so overall if your capital is fixed amount, your chosen TF becomes important.

I have not gone down to 1m bars, though many here do, it is their choice, essentially I can see the number of days action I want to see,
by varying my Set-up TF.

Edit: my typos are getting worse, a new keyboard is needed.

I think the governments just allow you enough money to standstill financially.

So you never get too cocky & above your station.

Your needs are Food, Drink Rent/mortgage, Utility Bills & entertainment.

As long as you can afford that, there won't be a riot on the streets and the billionaires & millionaires can have their Champagne, yachts & dolly birds.

I am talking about your Capital allocated only to trading Forex and what your objectives are for growing it and whether it can replace your income from your employment or career.
