It could be that the dashboard needs to be refreshed. It seems to need that. Click on a different time frame and back to where you want to be and you might see a different display.

The dashboard is okay, but it is the EA that does not open any trades

Here's another "All three EMAs aligned" trade. The break below the signal was too strong to catch so I waited for the usual pullback and entered on the breakout candle. There is local support to get through still, but beyond that is a decent amount of space to move down into. {image}
Day 3 of this trade.

Shortcuts aren't helpful in the long run. But you could try reading the thread backwards, as most of our recent thinking is in the last 5 pages. My strategy now revolves around the 3x3 method (mostly, kind of, with the Yellow Arrow Signal as a slight variation). 8/21/100 EMAs. And more than 10,000 hours of screen time.

{quote} Day 3 of this trade. {image}
The recent GBP economic news items, all but one in the red, pushed this GBPCHF trade to its target very quickly. So that's a very nice 150 pips banked. But another trade (long GBPAUD placed this morning) went equally quickly to its doom. That's 85 pips lost.

It would have been better if I had entered this trade near the dotted line, but I missed it. Given that all three TFs are showing down on the 3x3 method, I decided to go for it anyway - when the force is with you ...

The target is far down. I decided to resurrect an EA I commissioned a while back that starts with a move to B/E function and then switches over to an MA trailing stop function. It is set at 50 pips move to B/E, thereafter to trail along the 21 EMA, but only once the EMA line itself has moved into the profit zone. Let's first avoid the SL!

This comment from last week still applies - I am using the EA to move to B/E and aiming for a target further away than I usually set, hoping that I will lock in some decent profit if the trade doesn't reach the target. But to reach a more distant target I am trying to enter earlier than the yellow arrow signal I have been using, which marks where all three EMAs become aligned. So I am now waiting for the 8 and 21 EMAs to cross in line with the daily trend and then looking for a suitable entry. This one directly below a local consolidation is a good entry.

I missed the earlier small consolidation area soon after the 8/21 EMA crossover (where the SL now sits). This level would have made a good entry, but instead I had to enter after the second consolidation area which is also after the yellow arrow signal appeared (all three EMAS are now aligned). But the TP is still set far away (150 pips) and it still fits under the resistance area on the top left of the chart, so I'm hoping for the best.

I use an App to place trades because it calculates the correct lot size for me automatically. It's better that you download it yourself so that you get the correct files. Place all of those files directly into the MQL4 folder https://www.earnforex.com/metatrader...ick-trade-pro/

This is what it looks like on the charts.

To open it click on the first image, I think it's a pen. Then you can enter your SL distance manually and it calculates the lot size accordingly. All the other settings are entered into the inputs dialog.
