Today's trade was extremely stressful again ! Fortunately I could manage to exit with a small profit at the end .
I usually set my target between ema 20 and 50 .But look what happened after I closed my orders !!!
Should I wait for ema 200 ? what is the best criteria for setting TP ?

you will answer that yourself with more practice and a better understanding of how price action interacts with the ema's - to fast track that process, watch all of KoFs videos then watch them again then trade as much as possible for as long as it takes to start feeling it... good luck!

EDIT: this may help in understanding the difficulty of knowing when to exit a trade - i think its a common problem and there is no right answer unfortunately, its ultimately up to you to decide...

Hey Abade and cpfleger, Thanks for sharing the method. Why not make an EA for the method something like this: {image} Just a thought, initial idea.
Hi Ronin! I don't think it's possible to replicate how the original strategy works with an EA since it's meant to be a discretional method, not a mechanical one. In other words, an EA cannot read price action, market structure, volatility regimes and order flow in a opportunistic/intuitive fashion as the human does.

There are plenty of commercial and non-commercial EAs that use cost averaging and mean reversion in a similar fashion. However they are very likely to blow up an account and cannot be left unchecked/trusted fully, especially those that have been fitted to past data (which is very easy to do).

Gogo! Amiraven, pain is part of the game.

You should check the live sessions of the original author and follow along with your own trading, it's a good way to get used to the system:

your most welcome amiraven - however i will add that you should think carefully about WHY that trade was stressful - no trade should be stressful if executed with a plan, and that will only develop with time, most likely you were risking too much, that can easily happen if your lot size is too large for your account size, work on your money management to alleviate this stress and you will be fine!

Hi Taksistalo! We only cover the "basic EMA strategy" in this thread, you can check it out in his free/live videos (recommended).

The author sells the "full EMA strategy" and the "1%" courses, but we have not seen anybody applying them succesfully in a consistent fashion.

I recommend you watch his videos and then applying the concepts in a demo account and/or simulator.
