Hey nvp, whats your percentage gain or loss on your account atm?
hey there - back again
if you exclude the amazing last few days heres what I bat........
I average around 30-40 pips gain in a 2 hour session ...50+ if I get a decent runner
I can trade 3-5 contracts per scalp and then unload the contracts through the scalp dependent on its move
I try to use 2% of capital per trade overall ........and therefore overall I suppose my average capital earned per pip varies based on the mix i get ..but generally ...say its between 0.1% and 0.2% per pip
so on an average day (40pips) I am looking for
4%-5% return on my capital base ......
it can be more if i get some good runners and if i am feeling brave and manage to load a significant element of my 2% on that runner
Brexit was an amazing 18 hour session for me (from early Asian)...........but i had to naturally reduce stakes to accommodate spreads and the margins brokers were demanding
but with the yen bull and the GBP bear alone both generatiing 1,000 pip moves each initially (GBP bear / Yen bull) and then both retracing back 500 pips as well..........clearly it was a good session !!!
even Monday rocked .....if anyone was following me i seem to recall trading GU quite a few times and taking about 50 pips per swing ..........every trade was making more than i do most 2 hour mornings on a slow day ......wow !!!
