if you are in business of catching falling knifes buy by all means. So far there was no indications of reversal and market mood is not very optimistic about future growth. check last daily candles. it is not a triple bottom yet and not a sign of reversal.Gonna safe on gas 😇

exit at loss is mechanical. also position at profit closed mechanically completely if signal at opposite direction happens but entry depends on additional price action signal thus it is discretionary.

I was thinking that trading with no hard stop might have sense. The leverage obviously has to be kept lower and trade should be closed at loss only when signal is given that trend reversed. The logic is simple, if I start looking for trade in one direction after I have a signal then it also should be a signal to close trade at at loss. otherwise trades might get stopped and whipsawed leading to more losses than needed.All in all I will open 2 accounts and trade one same way i trade now and second will be with smaller position size per trade but hard stop only for catastrophic loss if something...

Google stock brokers that have Sterling and real Tick demos. There is a lot of the on line. there is also traders' pools where trader can start with just $2000-3000 deposit and they provide leverage but i would not go with this. too little. When trading with those pools fees are lower than if you open account with broker directly. $10K is a minimum to cover expenses and everything and keep risk low. anyway, first they must be good results on demo before going live cause there is ECN, routing and other fees related to stock trading. Usually it is $1 and some cents for opening and closing 10...

I think you are action junky 😉It would be more beneficial for your trading to move to higher time frame or try stocks for day trading. why? cause stocks if traded on Nasdaq/ NYSE is still traded during exchanges open hours which is 9:30 a.m. EST to 4:00 p.m. EST. Hence you do not have to stay around PC the whole day. I came to decision and it is final that i am not day trading FX markets. I am working on longer term daily charts and this it is. Trades run but I am not there most of the time. I do check but I am not glued to the screen. I still think how to manage trades, when to move s...

Hi Mino, I think results are good. You only need to cut some losses faster cause they hurt your performance. You can see your average loss bigger than average win and I noticed some oversized losses -600 + pips and like this. otherwise very good. I am still working on my trade management and entries.

I would consider after making a winning trade to go fishing. if first trade is a winner what else you need ? or have some goal, or when you start feeling that you are afraid to lose next trade and give back money stop trading.

You see Steve, the risk is not big at all. Trade management is a key when trade goes well.

Steve, I do not get what you are arguing about? I do not say that taking position on ema's cross is profitable. i just say it can be used and is used to start watching for price action to enter trades. this is the truth. ema's cross gives a signal to start watching for trade but it doe snot mean that trade is taken at all . it is taken if price action conforms. but yes, ema's cross brings structure.

LOL, man, you tell me I know guy who has been doing 20-100% annually for years just with EMA crosses trading from daily charts. He is not trading cross. He uses it as reference about trend change. I disagree with you about lower time frame over higher time frame. but let's see.

My task is to lock 2:1 R:R by taking profits and moving stop and leave 30-40% of total previous position run as far as it can.

Steve, I did not get the question? I will lose 1% per each losing trade. with Oanda I can set pip size any way to risk only 1% with any stop size. But I prefer to keep stop at no more than 150 pips. preferably up to 120 of course to have it behind some swing.

Steve, the point of ema's cross is trend change. which means it must be on at least daily chart and it is mostly for trend traders who try to enter trend when the trend starts and ride it to the end to the opposite signal. ema's cross, trader starts looking for entry, he doe snot enter right away.
