What D says is right on. I also trade small positions and it's not uncommon for me to have 10 or 12 positions open on a pair. I try to pick what I think is the very top or bottom but very seldom am I that good. If not hell then I add some every so often. At some point you find that the better positioned ones clear the bad ones out and you're in the money. By then the bigger chart has usually unfolded and I can look back and sort of see where I went wrong in taking the initial positions and most importantly see whether I need to let the whole position ride more.

Hey jav, I understand fully where you are coming from. Just an idea for you, take all the indicators and EA's away for awhile and just watch time and price. After awhile, depending on trade style, scalp swing or term, add your favorite one back and watch to see how it reacts over some time, learn it like you know your own body.

Another thing I have learned is even the most simple indicators have to be back checked, indies are static, the market is dynamic and need to be tweeked to the mood every few weeks I think, or at least back checked.

Anyway, get back on the horse, take your time and best of luck bro!!
