Just out of interest - why have you got your charts set like that?

Are you really trying to trade off 5 or 6 1 minute bars?

You wouldn't be hiding something that occured earlier on in the day would you ? :whistling

Nooooo I just like to keep it zoomed in so I'm focusing on capturing key levels. Just the way I trade.

As it goes. Trade number 2 closed out for a profit. 1125 profit.

If you are SIM trading, you should just focus on the points made/lost.

Putting up 5 lots is going to give you too many warm fuzzy feelings inside which is the exact opposite of what you will get when trading live.
