{quote} how is going with yours challenge , pips? are you progressing, are you using 10, 34 ema. or something different ?
the 10/34 ema frequently brings me success and the bbma cost me some pips and also brought in some pips but overall profitability lies in trading the 10/34 ema. I'm always challenging myself by trading something that is fairly new to me like indices. I guess I'm easily bored trading the same pairs day in and day ouy. I don't know if I can find a cure before I damage my account, which atm is going well but slowly

I got in long using the weekly chart together with bbma, here's the entry with the 10/34 ema and bbma just to highlight the entry point. If you know a bit about bbma it was an entry after retracement of a candlestick momentum candle ( candle that closes over the bb)

I guess is always good to try something new! If for many years you are making money so I don't think you will have any problems to pass the test!

the challenge is a different ball game because of the drawdown rules which is 4% daily and 8% maximum. I normally have bigger stops and so one mistake I will be thrown out, atm I'm risking 1/2% and I think I should be risking 1% so it's much slower to hit target or to lose the account

I have been observing the dow or the like and I notice from 8.30 pm (UK time) using the M1 trend and tf you can make 50-100 points before the trend turns and so I will do a trade on the dow or Nas starting from 8.30 pm tonight. In the meantime I will take it easy, no trade atm. When I say 8.30 pm I mean I will be turning on my laptop to see if a trade is available and once I see one I will take it,i.e. anytime from the stipulated time. I hope I made myself clear

I understand you have to fit in some frame. And you have to forget about bbma stacking up trades, averaging !?

yeah, adjustments to the mindset has to be made and also the level of greed. I am looking at 10-20 pips a trade ideally with the right amount of lots. 50 pips per day with 2 lots is the way I should be aiming and perhaps with 4 lots to make it interesting. I might just do that tomorrow. I hope I can finish the challenge before I go to Normandy for a week's holiday early Sept.

10 pips on this pair is good as the pip value is higher than most

Took 2 trades this morning, both longs EU & GU. Both were closed manually, EU at b/e and GU with some profits. I just want to say I added in the 200 simple MA and the idea is to follow the direction of this MA together with the 10/34 ema. I entered GU on M15

just playing a retracement on the dragon using H4 looking at chart pattern, a doji was formed on the previous candle and I reckon some retracement might happen, in case price moves up I have another sell higher up. As my entry is split into 2, I am comfortable with the risk with stops in place..let's see
