23 trades in 1 day ....and also only 128 pips .....
jees F you
are losing control
N
Actually N - you are partly right
If this had been a Wednesday onwards - I would not have bothered so much trying to get pips in the Kitty by say 9 00 am time - as I would be relaxed thinking a good 8 hrs left
After i checked the calender and saw only main red news at 1 30 pm - I started to think - slow Monday - and need therefore to get moving
But really the market was being a bit of a bar steward early doors and 2 losses in a row - started to concern me.
I then back off - looked at the bigger picture for the day - got some pips off the EJ and settled down for the first day back after the weekend
Having 6 losses during the day was unusual for me - 1 to 3 normal - 3-5 I accept - over 5 - more pressure - as out the comfort zone - even though losses were under 3 pip etc
Unless its normal or easier move on Monday morning - then a tough couple of hrs can catch you out - as I need a good 3 to 5 hr to get into the zone and scalp rhythem
Same when you come back off holiday - it can take a few day to get your eye in.
Thankfully - a few nice levels and 30 min rule helped on catching some interim highs and lows and reverse trades
Hopefully tomorrow I will try and stay under 15 -17 trades - and relax
Also remember even 50 pip on a few 30% stake trade left on in profit - are only money wise equivalent to say 15/ 16 pips on 100% stakes on scalps - so that's why a few scalps over 10 -15 pips are always important in the equation
I reckon I need another holiday
