I accidentally started my challenge when I took a trade in the wrong account Well, doesn't look too bad after seven trades.... Still 15 trading-days to go, so it should be quite easy (as expected) ...

But a question for my trade... I didn't consider the touch of the 50 because that would've been the third touch as it basically touched twice just after the cross. So, is my thought correct about those touches? Also those touches just after the ...

I'm also still active... Just not posting much Had this on GBPAUD yesterday: Nice touch of M15 35. Two bar to get there and first touch after cross with no flat MA: TP was set at 30 pips. The whole move up to now was more than 136 pips ...

I'm currently diving into doing some Data Science on this strategy... Did someone else do that before? Like checking which timeframe, MAs, SL, TP, touches etc. have the best results? I wanted to basically test all Timeframes from M1 to M30 and ...

Just signed up for my challenge... Will not start before the election stuff is finished though as I trade an USD-Pair

Of course! And they'll also send you additional $1000 to help you with your life

This is the 1 second chart of that move....

looks good

Well, now I'm a bit confused... You say I do shitty posts? Or was that part regarding different posters? It's quite hard to read without any paragraphs....

Yep, it's the psychology of trading... People not following their strategy because they get greedy or do revenge-trading because "the market" did something to them. But "the market" doesn't do anything to them it's just random and one never knows ...

Well, I'd set the same rule in my prop firm as the gaps on market open are sometimes just bad and so it would increase the risk for my capital. If it was your money, what would you do?

I don't give up.... My trades are quite good and I just want to figure out what I can improve on the red trades.... I document all trades with Drawdown and Pip-Potential. So I can compare the results of my trade to the actual potential results each ...

You mean second/third touch because the candle at 6:30 closed at the 35 MA and the next was the first touch? While it was also the second touch of the 50...

Yesterday I had this nice correlation between M15 35 and RN on first touch... the 35 also isn't flat... However... Just 6 minutes later Did I do something wrong?

It's always good to prepare for a challenge on a trial... In my case I'm currently testing the trade-management-EA on the trial and it looks like it's a total fail as it didn't manage the trade at all. Only set the SL automatically after I opened ...

I was just thinking about entries after cross and close... According to the manual the should take touches only after the price moved 15 pips away from the MA... So no trading of the small retrace to the MA after the price crossed and closed on the ...

Position-Size depends on the pair you're trading... url I'd feel comfortable trading 13 lots... Because that's only 2% Risk when trading GBPUSD on a $100k Account with 15 pip SL I also don't see why the FTMO-Metrix are important.... I know which ...

Well, if you are in profit after those 30 days you get a free retry... And you keep getting them until you make it through the challenge, give up or fail the rules... Don't see where that is pocketing the fees. Usually one should be intelligent ...

Putting on a winning trade requires no skill at all.... Being consistently profitable requires some strategy, good money management and great psychology... It's all about the small edge... And not violating the plan in any way...

Well, here it is.... I went short at the touch of the 35 after the price crossed and closed below it. As mentioned, it went 12.1 against me (SL was the default 15 pips I use for touches) before it went down and resulted in a surprising profit which ...
