Hey Howard, I don't trade two lots on each pair anymore - I've changed it whatever number of lots equals to 10% of my account balance for each trade. I use my discretion as to what proportion of my position I set to take profit at +100 pips and what ...

Oh, to clarify the pip count thing, I don't tally up each lot seperately. For instance if I have a trade with two lots that take profit at 100 pips and one lot that takes profit at 150 pips i don't count that as 350 pips... only 150 pips. Hope ...
