edit 10:08
annotation to Thursday: I missed to use a important but seldom rule for a combination for both Thursday and Friday. So my result ended in a stop loss. Instead of a nice gain.
No problem: will make the best now today :-)

@GFIs1 I noticed your stop outs are 30 ticks lately. Is this to limit large losses? Regarding the stop outs, are these fixed before hand or are you working with market fluctuations and then when it returns from deep in the red you stop out at 30 ticks? Thanks

Hi @d a x

The answer is easy: if I am at the keyboard and see volatility I can intercept manually when it is running above the 30 points.
If I am afk then I set the usual 30p stop.
As I mentioned already - the volumes and thus the vola during summer holidays are different to strong months.
My proposal is to stay away from the markets for around 6 weeks summer holidays. Means no stress and of course less negative trades.
Happy holidays and good trades when end of August the situation is getting back to normal.
