Learning Trade Forex

I for sure know how to get carried away. Now I'm trading 1:40 leverage like every day. For me it's especially hard to throw down the towel when market is slow and I wouldn't like to take other side, when it looks like it will turn any moment. I'm like frog in slowly boiling water as the legend says. It's so slow going against me and I would get cooked before I jump out. When turn finally comes I can't stand retracements once I'm in the profit. I can't say I like it all but it's how it is right now. Numbers are 1/2 size, average 1/2 size plus one more average with full size from subaccount. In the end +10 full size pips.
