I'm in a time crunch to get to work more than usual so I don't have time to see how much I lost or post charts. The amount is nothing major though. However what is major is how lost I feel I am as a trader. Don't know at this time how to fix it. I'll just keep reducing size to slow the drain from my account. 50 cents per pip here I come again! (F'in BS)

Another annoying day. I can't honestly say I gave trading 100% today though I shouldn't have even taken the last trade.

It's unfortunate that currently the amount of pip's I earn in a day are inversely related to the size I have on a trade. Obvious psychological affect of larger trade size?

My break-even trading is incredibly frustrating. Any consistent positive results that I could depend on would change my life. Break-even trading week after week after month after month.... frustrating. I've got to figure out whats keeping me from putting it all together.

Just another day of proving to myself that success will be had in trading when I completely stop forcing trades and only trade when the market comes to me.

If I wasn't dealing with unexpected distractions in my apartment today then I very likely wouldn't have missed the obvious opportunity like I did. Annoyed. But I'll do better tomorrow w/ no distractions.

Variable Position Sizing is what I did today depending on how far my stop had to be place away from entry I adjusted my size. Min position size was at 25 cents per pip max size today was at $5 per pip. In general my max position size is $10 per pip and my min position size is 25 cents per pip.
Variable position sizing can create some weird stats. It's possible to be negative total pips with a positive bottom line. Today my 2.5 pips for plus $31.65 suggests I was trading $12.66 per pip.
If I exit 2 places from initial entry then I'll take the average pips earned for that trade as the pip count.
The dollar figure I earn or lose in a day is straight forward and is the only number that really matters.
