My view exactly.
Thank you ITB for all the sharing you do each day. This thread is my daily read.
Your trade order needs to be in the right place at the right time.

Hi ITB, just a quick question.

Let’s say you’ve entered a few positions during the Asian session—do you typically monitor your trades every 30 minutes, check in at hourly intervals, or wait until the start of the London session for updates?

Lately, XAUUSD has been extremely volatile, with the ADR hitting 700–1000 pips—well above the usual 250–300 pip range. Honestly, whenever the "tariff man" starts rattling off, it makes me nervous holding positions. I still remember GBPUSD spiking nearly 100 pips within minutes when he took office, and EURJPY jumping 150 pips when the tariffs started ramping up.

By the way, I’ve gone through all your posts in the MTF Engulf thread. I noticed you mentioned that you don’t use stop losses. Great thread.

did i mention that i don't use stop loss? i can't really remember. very much would depend on the trend direction that i had pick.
it all depends on the unit size that i put on and a candle closed beyond a chosen level (anything from 5min to 1 or 2 day candle close) to exit a loss as mentioned here
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...2#post15237342

eg. if i put on a 2 or 3 full lot trade size i only need to TP with 20 to 60 pips and my day can be done. if i am wrong then i need to get out as soon as possible with a 5 min candle close beyond a chosen level. this will require close watching the whole time till trade is done.

if i do not have the time to monitor trades, then i am more relax with much lesser unit size trades doing cost averaging trades as and when i see fit, requiring to check only one or two hours each time. i am in no hurry to close off any losses because all the trades would be dependent on my analysis of trend direction for the day. if i lose then i had pick a wrong direction to trade for the day.

oh what i meant is you have a level to cut-off the trade, not a "hard stop", since price often moves up and down to hunt liquidity. Apologies for not explaining this more clearly. In general, i been following your guide on SL placement below the base of engulfing zone, depending on the timeframe for entry.

Thank you, ITB, for your detailed explanation. It helped give me a clearer picture on how to approach this issue.

I usually trade on the H4 timeframe, using dca within the engulfing zone, with D1 as an overall guide. This engulfing system was going good but with the recent high volatility, the SL placement becomes a huge problem as I have to be watching often for any signs of potential changes.

i do not know what instrument you trade but gold h4 swing trading was a beauty last week.
however gold is very volatile and often manipulated on intra day.
what i could not pass on is the soft skills required for trading.
they are personal and many years of experience is needed.
eg. feel of the market sentiment, gut feeling, intuition.... etc.

do i need 100, 200, 300 pips to make 7.7% return in one session?
no. if you are confident of your trade signal, adjust your unit trade size to get the return needed.

Fully agreed with what you've said!

I've been trading xauusd, eurjpy, gbpaud, gbpnzd, euraud, eurnzd, gbpusd. Over the past 11 months, i tested your engulfing system on the D1 & H4 timeframe, and the results look pretty good. However, xauusd started making crazy moves and i got caught with high drawdown. So, i spend the last weeks forward testing M5 flip strategy. The result look decent enough for me to give it a try.

Around the same time, i also ran into issues with my old broker. They started having withdrawal & deposit issues, which seriously messed up with my trading. In short, last week was rough.

So i went to sign up with ICM and began live trading this M5 strategy without using the engulfing system. That was my mistake. Yeah so i ended up missing a lot of the good moves...

ah you are doing good with engulfing. who else got 100% return in 6 weeks?
from now on is the real test. whether you are getting excited over your performance or still keeping level headed.
