Ferrowolf's Den of Trading

Still building my humble Den, so please bear with me, it'll be done soon! =)

GBPJPY 2nd trade 20th Oct

My patience tends to wane thin at night it seems. Prob too eager to go to bed or something. lol
Anyway, I definitely got out of this trade waayy too soon.
Price just hit my initial target. So instead of a 2R trade, I got just a 1R trade.
Think sometimes it’s better to just leave a trade running, especially when the stop was moved to breakeven already.
+28 pips, 1R trade.
That makes today’s total
+78pips, 4.125R

I realise there’s a slight problem with the results, I risk between 1-2% of my capital, so as hard as I try to be consistent, the best the R multiples can show are the risk/rewards of a trade.
For example, today’s gains were 4.125R in total, however, the actual increase in my capital is 4.82%
My risk/reward ratios have been improving in the past few weeks.

Explainations on the charts.
