...yes, don't get me wrong before I went full-time, i'd amassed the 1000's of hrs of screentime. My problem when I decided to move to trading FT was being under-capitalised and not really trading with money I could afford to lose. I'd convinced ...

So your risk to reward for this trade was 20% risk for 24.6% reward - don't know how long you've been trading the pattern but what % win rate would you say you're hitting at the moment?
