Cheers F, you dont seem to suffer your mind here like some do. Maybe you could try and communicate that. I havent been heard.
Im averaged waaaay up F an carrying all I want to carry, no stops, no need, as you know.
Thats a tough one when you dont use stops mate
I had my ego and mind broken one day on 22 lots when I had for the first time in over 2 yrs 7 bad scalps in a row
I threw my toys out the pram that today - and nearly dumped my method
It really took me 6 months to get back over 5 lots a pip - and then I realised - I could not handle trading with over £100 a pip of my own money
I faced facts - I had hit my psychological and financial limit and it beat me
It was not helped by the market also slapping me around the face saying - you are not ready mate - give up or go back to the drawing board
I went back to the drawing board - stayed on low stakes and now up to 5 lots per pip - i can handle being told I am wrong every day - as long as its not over 6 bad trades
When I have 3 consecutive bad scalps - I stop and have a break for either an hour or more and then make sure i catch any win - just to break my mind sequence
Luckily - I am better than over 6 years ago - but even today I have never been back over £100 a pip stuff - I accept thats my own mental limit using my own money - along with 6 consecutive losses
You are correct - mindset is so important
But it can be helped by a really good method that suits your own weaknesses - for me i need high win ratios - ie over 65% average - and I like to be in and out under 30 mins if I can - in fact 20 pips in 10 mins and I am happy as Larry - who ever Larry is
