Rich,

If you don't mind and have time can you give me some info on how this works.. I guess I'd also have to change how I work out my MM too ?? At the moment it's simple for me, 5% of my account (whilst it's small) on mini and each pip is 50p or $1

Thanks - I posted here so as to not fill up the Trade thread with other subjects

Hi Rich,

Look forward to seeing that.. I'm still sticking with GBP/JPY until I make good positive pips / money.. Only then will I try to trade another pair.... One day when I trade for a living eh !!! Just don't have the time to focus on 2 yet.

PS - without spell checker I too would be a "caveman"
