closed this one for +81 as end of the week and a total of 4.2% added to the account. Have a good weekend guys. Got some more reading to do this weekend and some more tinkering with the trading.

Been a tough week for me guys. Disastrous trades all week took me down -7.5% on the account. A combination of emotional trading, FOMO, ranging pairs, looking for tops and bottoms, everything a good trader learns not to do. Got on some good trades today after NFP with rejections of the 21 EMA on all major USD pairs and ended the day with +2.92 on the account. Good weekend to all

Trying to stay calm and collected, think before clicking the trade button. Off to a good start this week with this one UJ for +234. Using an EA for scaling out of the trade with a bit of trailing on the last portion. Closed this one today as it looked to be about to turn round. Keep it up

Looking left on the H4, price is at the S78 pivot which has been a sticking point before. Might keep going

Turned out to be a retest of the 8/21 EMA before moving up again. All while I was sleeping. Never mind, better to survive and trade another day than to take a loss.

Hey guys,
I've been following for some time. Just one thing I was wondering not so much related to macd....

Is there a way to tell if the 21 EMA will break on an up trend or not?
Please see the example below:
In 1 it holds, but in 2 it breaks. Is there a way to tell if it will hold or not?

Feedback from a fellow trainee demo trader.
Short answer is no we cannot predict what price will do. All we can do is second guess the probability of what will happen next.
The chart u posted was telling a story (hindsight trading is easy). Price in an uptrend bouncing off the 8EMA but then a deeper retrace to the 21 EMA suggesting a change is coming, the uptrend is running out of steam. You had the TC at point 1 to continue the trend up and point 2 broke the 21 and the next candle closed over the 21 = uptrend over and ranging might follow. I expect the price action guys can tell a better story by what the candles/sizes are doing but I am not at that stage yet. I can only trade by what the indi's are telling me.
Hope this helps

UK boss. London session for me. something I missed on my last post. Looks like you are counter trading by seeing if the 21 will hold or not. I try to trade away from the 21, go with the trend if possible. A close over the 21 I will be looking for the 89 as the next target.

Is there an alert indicator or multipair dashboard available for the MACD method? I think an alert on a MACD bar color change would be useful.
