* 5% to 10% of the average daily range...a 6-12 pips a day on EUR/USD
(one year you will make a 1000% yield )
* inefficiencies would be discovered and exploited by the market faster than you could blink your eye.
* the market is smarter than any one of us
* shortening the TP level skews the odds against you exponentially....
* the spreads chews up the small edge any short term strategy
