Keep up the good work!

My takings for this week is US$709.20 x 1.34 = S$950.33. Lose you out by S$30.00 if your figures are in SGD. :s13:
It is in S$, I am looking to increase the lot size from 0.1,/0.2, so that I can spend less time on scalping, hopefully it work out to be good.

Your S$980 weekly takings are solely from Forex or combine with MSCI Index profits?

Scalping is very time intensive and not suitable for people with full time jobs. Scalping with 0.1 lot is very hard work. Scalp for more than 12 hours if can earn US$50-80/daily considered a good day liao.

2 months ago ever since I hoot standard lot scalping the profits increased tremendously. One day kio peanut pips also not bad. Eg. 20 pips = US$200. :s13: However need to have ample margin. As time goes by I will increase the size of my balance sheet gradually.

By the way I have mentioned before that my foray into standard lots is due to a 'fat finger' mistake. Key in wrongly and open a US$150,000 contract! It was a blessing in disguise as otherwise I would still only whack mini lots.

Initially seeing your position down by a few hundered USD in just a few minutes can be very distressing. After I crossed this line my risk appetite increased. So far so good as long as I don't touch GBP. Pui, pui, pui!

All the best to your experimentation.

ok lah. not too bad, I have some paper lost on forex carry trade too, that why I am thinking after clear this one, for forex I will just scalp when I am free and cut less on carry trade. Just concentrate on index future and stock trading.

I am not full time just that my job not that busy passed few week, and it allow me to scalp. I think I will need at least see the result for one or more years before I can consider quit my job although currently the income from trading not that bad. Anyway still early to say and long road to go for me on trading.
