You’re welcome these patterns work well and yield a lot of pips. Some people unfortunately call these patterns bullshit but getting a few hundred or a thousand pips is not bullshit. My account is double what it was 3 weeks ago

I agree many disregard patterns personally i feel they add weight value and can be very profitable.
Nice going 100% gains is excellent in just a few weeks what risk % per trade are you trading ?

Risk varies but once I have some profits I risk a decent percentage and I keep adding to trades if they keep looking good. I have been growing my account pretty good

I like your style adding loading up once your in profit makes sense you get a few break evens small losses but the ones that make it can really pay well nice

I got massive amount of pips last week on EURAUD by adding to it. I don’t have very big position on CADJPY unfortunately due to no margin. I was down 3% unrealized before my trades took off earlier on EURUSD and GBPUSD was underwater 30 or so pips on one GBPUSD position but added some lower. It was stressful being down 3% lol

My risk would have to be suicidal for me to do that! i havent mastered adding to winning positions yet.....whenever i try it i just end up losing what i had on the first entries!

You wouldn’t have to risk too much just catch a big run and let your trade run for a few hundred pips

I in my first year of live trading i had a couple of years study and testing so still new to the game I was thinking 5% per month would good return im keeping risk 1% or less per trade depending on the set up compounding still learning every day. my tp1 is normally 1 to 1 or better so i need 50% win rate on tp1 to have a small edge if 10% of my winners hit tp 2 normaly 3 to 1 or better I should do ok only time will tell i guess.

Great Thread!
Does anyone know where I can find an indicator where you enter a date in a box and the indi finds the candle associated with the date and time, with a vertical line?
Thank you,
