Okay so I conducted my trial over a month and not a week, hence the delayed report.
I'm pleased to say I made £800 this month, all trades at £2 point and with a 10 point stop loss. I closed many trades manually for a few points profit as I didn't like they way they were behaving.
112 Winning trades
28 losing trades
So, by being really careful and pinching a few points here and there with minimum exposure to the market I'm £800 tax free better off this month.
I think we have the blueprint going forward don't you?
I could let the experiment run on metrics without my interference, say keep to a 10 point stop & limit and go through the results at the end of next month or I could continue as I am....I have a few days to think about it.
Hope you all had a profitable month.
