    I am not the kind of the guy who blames brokers for losses. It is only this kind of problem with non responsive platform while I am in trade that worries me. Otherwise I think no big difference.

it does not matter for brokers if you blame them or love them. they do those tricks to anyone. freezing platform is at top10. 😄

Oanda was much worse in this regard. They increased spread and killed trades.

Oanda
1. Spread and also freezes occasioanlly
2. Bad charts before MT4
3.No oil and commodities
4. A lot of stupid new rules
5. They closed my account and asked me to move to canadian branch.
but I withdrew from them even before.

yes, scalpers beware. I think there should be no target. I also think how to develop exit strategy. Exits is my weak spot.

I know where to enter or cut loss, exits are still not worked out. actually I have good targets, price most of the time hit where I expect to take profit, but most of the time I get spooked and close earlier. My entries are mostly very good.

that was my biggest mistake at the begginig. I was always focused on enter and not worked on exıt. then ı understand that exit is much more important then entry!!😲

I think everything is important. But to make truly outstanding results everything must be in tune. I am working on my psychological part as I think it is what made me enter not in the best places and now makes me exit early. I generally see where the price is going but would like to have some kind of thing that let me exit if price reverses and to look for signs of reversal. if price simply goes against me when i am in trade it doe snot mean that it is not going to continue in my direction.

I want my Sharpe to be 4+ and I have got it that patience is very important here to improve hit rate which is related to Sharpe as I see it now.

If you know where to exit, you can enter trade anywhere
But even if you know where to enter, you can not exit anywhere!!
