Also, my stops are too tight. Need to figure out a way to fix this issue without having to resort to trading the 1 min chart.

I'm using a demo account matching what my initial capital will be. Sucks I have to use such a small stop.
I ain't rich... So funding an account with over a grand will be slightly difficult. I'm risking way more than I should per trade.

Nice one! Love the honesty here — that “shoulda stayed in” feeling is so relatable.
I used to wrestle with the same issue (tight stops due to limited capital). What helped me was finding a setup with a higher precision entry during very specific hours, so I could justify slightly wider SLs without killing my R:R.
Also, I’ve been running a model that waits for price to pull away a set distance before fading it — especially effective on gold. Helps avoid jumping in too early, and I get fewer stop-outs.
If you're on demo now, it’s a great time to test slightly wider buffers without stressing too hard. Real capital = real pressure

Hi Emmanuel7788,
"I’ve started trading in the U.S. markets recently, and I'm not yet used to this market. While trading the GLD ETF, I noticed that when I place a stop order during market hours, it remains active during pre-market and after-hours sessions as well. Since trading volume is low during these extended sessions, market makers could HUNT these stops more easily, which makes me hesitant.
So I’m wondering — should I leave these stop orders active all the time, or should I cancel and re-enter them each time the regular market opens? If I do that, I might miss my stop level in case the market gaps when it opens. What would you recommend?" Thanks for all.

Do Not use stop orders.

The smart money will move the market to fill your orders and take your money.

To anyone reading this: this strategy can be highly effective if you know how to read charts. However, it's important to stay alert during news events, as the market tends to become quite volatile. Personally, I've found most of my success trading on the H4 timeframe, as it tends to be less noisy and offers clearer signals.

Are you still trading demo ? People should only accept advice from people trading live. I have seen successful traders make a transition from paper to live and fail, instantly. I have seen traders transition to live successfully and then blow an account as they scale up. For reference, I am just understanding the mental work required to be a successful trader, I have ignored it for a very long time. I wish you the very best @webb1003 but the journey is long my friend, I hope you are either much better than me, or make it in the end.

It doesn't matter what others are trading, demo, real, prop firm or whatever.

The only real thing that SHOULD matter to a trader is his/her own back test methods and results. P E R I O D

{quote} There you go sir. Just set one of the EMAs to offset by 2 (the other EMA to remain at 0) and you are done. {image} {image}
Hi, how are you using the EMA 5 offset 0, HMA 69 and the white line MA in the lower window as additional confluence when entering a trade?

Thanks

I appreciate the perspective I guess? , but I wasn’t giving financial advice lol. I don't understand people like yourself who randomly show up like this and say something like you said.. first off I don't see how what I said differs in anyways to what so many professional traders say about the ORB and finding consistency. I merely regurgitated words of wisdom from others.
Second, why? Lol I scratch my head at people that just seem to want to cause chaos in the middle of people learning and having a nice little community around one strategy. Who gives a fuck of I'm on demo or live. I've traded live. I've lost money live. I've swapped back and forth. Now I'm steadily consistently making money in demo. All those usually come from the orb with this strategy.
Anyways don't know why I'm taking all this time on you.. I'm annoyed.
I was sharing what’s been working for me so far as I learn and test different approaches.
Everyone’s journey in trading is different, and just because someone’s on demo doesn’t mean their insights aren’t valuable. We all start somewhere pops. I’m committed to growing, whether I’m on demo or live. Wishing you the best on your journey too.
