horses for courses. on the daily, a 20 pips zigzag is nothing, on a 5 min chart scalping it is huge difference. know what you trade, and set your expectations accordingly.

Is it better to close when price reaches resistance level?

today wasnt feeling well, and as per rule, no trading if not in 100% conditions. or 95% at least the only activity was checking on sometimes the open UC trade. the bottom leg, after yesterday's partial profit taking got re-opened, at a little ...

Hedge Fund Trades

Question about account size

it is always a good feel to wake up to see a position trade to hit TP. i was hoping that yesterday since the UC position was showing some turning signs, it might be the one, but instead it was the EJ short from last night. well, just as good, though ...

initiated a new fund deposit to the account, assume during the week it would arrive. with that i will be about halfway toward the target account size. for trial will include a custom starting dated (1st July) TE for the thread, so, i can see where ...
