For me, any trading system that quotes the lowest spread and no rollover fees, has been found to be working. The rollover fees problem is critical since many trades need to be held for weeks.
Use the following strategy:
-Trade in very tiny lots
-Hold for days together, perhaps for weeks
-Follow daily charts for momentum
I tested this strategy with $50. This helped me make about 50% gain in 4 months but dont let that fool you, since these are tiny lots, the net gain was only $25. But this was a great learning lesson. The FX trading is primarily a game where you leave very high margin behind in order to be able to swing around hundreds of pips (in case you tried bottomfishing and ended up in the wrong direction for 3 weeks). Even if you bottomfish a few trades and those trades were losing, you only get to lose some $1 for every 500 pip swing. Hence, loss-minimization, ample margin, tiny lots, patience over many days... this is what I found to be consistently making money.
I will put up some snapshots of this experiment in some webpage one of these days.

How comes this is a strategy?
-Trade in very tiny lots ------- This is Money Management
-Hold for days together, perhaps for weeks --This is how long your term for investment is
-Follow daily charts for momentum ----- How do you do this'??
I am very confused.

Would u kindly just tell me What Time frame u usually use for this.
This structure of +20/-10 may be suited In general Pair's 30 min chart.
Well, nothing behind this question, just wished to know. Ok that's all.
But Stop loss is looking too Tight- Only 10 pips, i tried it several days but....Ummmmm
Generally E/U U/J G/U 1 min channel moves 20 to 25 pips in a few min, but when up trend in 15 min usually seen downtrend in 1 min, and with fear i lost some trades previously.

So what do you suggest? To increase the Stop Loss level order?

Strategy must fit you! There are tons of them, some give you 10% per month and low risk! Some 40% with high risk. It's up to you how to act on this market. You should be ready for drawdown it is a part of any strategy and determine what DD you can handle.
