Forex trading success means that you often aren’t in the market; in a sense if you are correctly trading the forex market it should actually be pretty boring to you. If you know that you are more objective when you are NOT in the market than what good do you think you will do by watching your trades and trying to adjust trading parameters once the trade is live when you are likely to be much more emotional about it? If you had just let the trade go and not looked at it because you had your stop at break even and were employing a set and forget trading mindset you likely would still have been in the trade and profited nicely as a result.
