[quote=witowito;14944223....... Can anyone share where they set their stop losses and the losses they took? I'm curious about how you manage to cut losses. Trade Additions: At what point do you stop adding to your trades and cut them? Would love to hear your strategies on scaling in and out. Drawdown: What's the max drawdown you've experienced during these trades?.........[/quote]

My risk is capped at 1.5 % and most of the time I split it into multiple positions for cost averaging. My loss management is as follows

  1. SL gets hit
  2. FOLD: if the PA is not convincing OR a CLOSE beyond the HTF ZONE
  3. FOLD and SWITCH: Must be backed up by the HTF ZONE and LTF PA. IT can bite you back very hard if not executed properly.

Fair enough... Thank you, everyone.
What I wanted to highlight is that losing is a natural part of trading , and managing losses effectively is crucial. Posting pictures with arrows and lines indicating where entries were made and where losses were cut would be very helpful. In fact, such examples might be even more valuable than showcasing winners.

Thank you again, I really appreciate it.

Here is my analysis:
Weekly Outlook:
We are heading towards the 2188-2146 block, or potentially the area around 2080-2030.

Daily Perspective:
The daily chart is clearly showing a major fake-out, likely designed to run the highs and catch longs, setting the stage for a significant drop. Notice how, during this 4-month range period, the price has been grinding upwards before these massive drops occur.
Daily Map:
This is my map for the daily chart today and the coming days.

H4 Analysis:
On the H4 chart, there are very suspiciously clean lows that look likely to provide hints about where the price is heading, indicating an overload of stops resting below.

Lol, poor HIM!

However, the mockery bit me back. I had to use the parachute in this instance. The PA was not convincing to me and decided to keep a clean slate before the NY Session. Disappointing end to the LONDON build-up.

1HR INSIDE 4hr (BB +FVG) IS EG TO EG in an eg fail.

IFG, thanks for all you do for us, i relate the eg/eg fail with bb+fvg (unicorn model). i see a bit of orderliness in randomness. Still learning though.

All the unicorn from this past week in my preferred pair GU, preferred 30 min timeframe and my preferred NYSE open time. If I can further filter these setups using higher timeframe then maybe my win rate can go up.

Just by itself, winrate is 50%, but with multitimeframe winrate is 90%
