Thanks Hansen! I'm trying my best to not over complicate things. I'm taking my trading seriously and will do my best to preserve my capital and respect my risk management.
Today I got some losing trades. The EURUSD and USDJPY showed some tendencies to breakout on a minor timeframe and I tried to capitalize I that but unfortunately these trades ended in a loss. Total loss today capped below 1%. Generally, on these setups I'm willing to risk but only with a sound mathematical risk/reward ratio.
I just want to clearify my approach risk and reward :
Perfect trades cannot exist. A perfect trade has a high probability of a big reward while risking very little. All trades are a combination of probability and risk/reward. If one side gets good probability, the other side gets good risk/reward. For a trade to take place, there has to be a reason for both the buyer and seller to trade. Therefore, a trade that is perfectly good for one side is perfectly bad for the other. No one would take a perfectly bad trade. This is one where there is a low probability of a profit, and the profit is tiny compared to the risk.
Thus, when trading pay attention to probability and control your greed and fear.
