why do you move stop loss ? Not advisable.

For BE you can move stop though.

I have an EA that allows me to protect equity. No markers to suggest that it is being used to the market but it allows me to protect the maximum profit. Sure I get stopped out occasionally, but typically not hunted!

you so right! And at times don’t chase the big numbers when small numbers can be ample for your needs.

Full Disclosure After being in a profit of 2850 dollars for the last two weeks, I lost 1150 dollars in yesterday's drop and today's morning spike, it all starts with the fact that I have a lot of money in my account and I start to spread out and put large positions Now recovering and starting with $300 in the account and hoping to get back on the road with modest daily profits and frequent withdrawal good luck everybody

My Gawd man. when the volatility crosses, shave off profits, CLOSE, or in the least move your stop loss under the previous 15m cluster. If it keeps going just get back in. Respect for your accountability. Get a tan... those arms look pale.

If you play the 5 min and you find the price goes a long way from your ema 1… move to 1 min and move your pp accordingly . Then wait to possible retrace back on 5 min . It’s a complicated set of rules I know .

Yes and no... It depends on the profit. You can still go broke on slippage, volatility manipulation and the like. Risk reward is the key. Every trade should reward you 3x your possible loss. This is why I trade channel jumpers. Watch the trend. when the candles jump out of form look for resistance then continue the trend. It will always go farther in the direction, than the counter, so sl above or below the cluster and profit in or below the channel. In Elliottician... trade waves 2 and 4 aftrer you see the ABC correction play out. Everything else has led me to sleepless nights

Trade both accounts... but change the profit to points. If you don't see the money your heart is less likely to start screaming run when price goes against you. Trade the Demo.. if you like the trade make it live, then keep the demo account on the front. Your SL and TP are set, so no need to watch the trade right? Also this tells me that you are trading the maximum you can risk. Don't. Cut whatever you are trading in half, and stop looking for that "HOME RUN TRADE". What you are experiencing is greed and a desire to get it NOW. This is also self doubt because if you truly believed in yourself you would trust that in the long run you would be fine. Instead you are trying to get it NOW before you fuck things up. At least that is what I experienced. I would call trades, support resistance and all and then still fail because my Free Margin would send me into a panic. Don't gamble... trade. If all you get today are a few colorful beads, so be it. One day you will look in your closet and discover there are a shit ton off beads in there. You know what you are doing.. now go fucking do it!
