I'm serious, I just closed out a position for a $10,000 profit.  Unfortunately it was my FXGame account at Oanda.  I had not logged into it for months and when I did login today, I noticed that I still had a short USD/JPY position open.  This trade profited 865 pips with only an 86 pip risk.  That's a 10:1 Reward/Risk Ratio.   Too bad this wasn't my real account.  If it was, this trade would never have happened.  Maybe I should start trading longer-term charts, set, and forget!

forget positions in real-accounts is really hard... :( I don\\\'t know exactly why, but positions in demo-accounts always are winners

If I were you, I'd take the money and run.
