Not a great start to Monday. In both these examples the 200 exit lead to a small loss. The top example I should of exited on the first 200 touch.

Going forward if I'm a few orders in I'll use the 200 as an exit if in profit. Failing that wait for a 200 cross and then use then 20 as a SL.

The trend is not my friend.
What a beautiful candle to close out the day on.

Entry was perfect.

waiting for ema200 when in drawdown is the way to go, but you will find as in both your trades that once it reaches and breaks it after a long period of time on one side, it will now continue on the other side - this often means that your original targets are the ones to stick with as hard as it is!

i'm not sure i can see the entry, now i see it! it was a nice exit candle... was the entry based on an ema200 bounce or something in the indicator where you marked the entry?

My entry was based on 2 LWMA crossing MACD signal line and price action (price bouncing off lower Cap line).

the cap channel looks far below your entry, or am i not seeing correctly?

You are seeing correctly. We could say it was the bounce over the 200 EMA but I was really looking at the overall trend from the bounce way back. I was caught between needing to be truthful or saying what I should have done.
I sincerely hope that made sense.

the pullback to ema200 was a good time to enter, the ema's are the primary focus of this strategy, everything else we use are just secondary guides... overall it was still a great entry and exit, thanks for explaining it, nice trading present!

I dont want to talk about Tuesday. What a ride into drawdown . I loaded up the trend far too early, should of waited for that double bottom before going hard at it. BE and stress.

On Nicks advice I'll be aiming for yonder the 200 when riding out bigger trends. I've also halved my lot size as running out of margin is not clever.

Onwards and upwards.

Snuck a good one in. Entry on Macd cross was excellent. Boost from news was added bonus.

running out of ammo when you need it most sucks! using a fixed lot size is the most efficient way to manage margin... you did very well to hang on as long as you did and break even is an excellent result, i notice you snuck in some successful shorts as well which is always a nice confidence booster for the next session!

excellent countertrend trade present, clearly catching the cap channel bounce this time and targeting ema200 where resistance lies, great work!

M5 AUDUSD - full daily loss was forced to avoid a breach, i was just a few pips short from preventing it after which it reversed moving onto hitting the original targets which would of put me way ahead in the trial, but it wasn't to be setting me back almost 5% instead - trading can be very cruel sometimes!

M1 AUDUSD - on the flipside it can also be very kind, the recovery was well assisted with the lucky escape on the last set of longs where i adjusted the targets just before they just got hit!

the good news for me is i avoided the breach keeping the account alive, and then recovered over half the loss in quick time, bringing me back on track to pass the objectives!

being forced to take a loss just to avoid a breach is not ideal, and is very difficult in the beginning, but necessary - ideally my exposure should be better managed to avoid reaching those limits...
