Likewise once I've made the target. Once again I managed to nearly double a small practice (not demo) account within 3 days taking proper pukka trades - triggers, partial profit taking, the works - only to chuck it all back and a little more with some naughty trades. No more!

Looking forward to a good week, keep up the good work!

Hey, Spitfire,

Good to see that post of mine may be of benefit. I've made a few simple little rules:

TRADING RULES
6:30am-11am London Time
Max. 5 trades.
Stop if 3 losers in a row.
PATIENCE - No jumping in
