{quote} even when you trade d1/4h charts and going broad market(15 pairs+) can feel like trading 5m charts as you need to flicker between those I questioning myself alot regarding any strategy I used 1. Should I use 5-6 pairs max using 1% risk and obviously have less trades 2. Go broad 15+ pairs using 0.3% risk to allow more pairs and to find setup quicker
we are always over confident that our trades will win.
good traders should play defensive not to lose too much.
can you handle when all your pairs going against you?
my advice is to cultivate focus and patience maximum of 3 pairs with total maximum of 2% risks to ensure that you last longer without blowing your account.

This overconfidence always bites me back hard, whenever I am in a winning streak.

in a winning streak, you can afford to have lots of BEs.

gold yesterday was a drop from d1 eg to eg, also a qml. a 520 pips range drop. either you laugh or cry your way to the bank. next probably gravitating to 17 18 june low. however after such a big drop, will expect retracement coming early week. {image} {image}

how confident are you to enter a buy just by solely looking at m5? it was a snrc support and resistant continuation model. or resistant turned support flip from the chart. will you be more confident if there was a m15 engulfing? what about with the h1 engulfing? so do not ever miss out checking the higher time frames. {image} {image} {image}

their gold spread is around 0.5 to 1 pip, which is fantastic.

Saxo web trading platform is good in spread wise and trade execution.
but i can't have a chart showing my past trades with entry and exit.
also can't have a statement showing line by line of past trades with profit/loss just like mt4 mt5.
can some one enlighten me?
