Disliked{quote} I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but I don't see any signals between 2 and 3. If you're seeing something different on your end, please share the screenshots, and I'd be more than happy to take a look.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi, thanks. I assumed there were two buy oppurtunities between 2 and 3. Maybe im wrong, thanks! edit: i see also bullish divergence on the macd and BBsqueeze oscillators which could indicate a buy {image}Ignored
DislikedDecided to set take profit at 1:1 as I couldn't monitor the trades and both hit target. AUDUSD eventually reached 1:2 but would have hit breakeven before that and GBPCHF was a late entry but luckily made it to 1:1. Also two losses on EURCHF and EURGBP. {image} {image} {image} {image}Ignored

Disliked{quote} Hi Mate, Thanks a lot for posting this system. It is well documented and will definitely test it out. May i know how do you monitor potential entries ? Do you use some kind of dashboard or just monitor the chart every 5 or 15 min for entries ?Ignored
Once an alert fires, I manually check the chart to validate the setup by reviewing the MACD histogram flow and TTM Squeeze behavior. That’s when I decide if the setup meets the full reversionX criteria for entry.
Dislikedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOMm1o_9Dcc Kathy Lien, a Managing Director of FX Strategy at BK Asset Management, has discussed mean reversion strategies, particularly in relation to bank trading. She's highlighted how bank traders use mean reversion, identifying market anomalies and trading the adjustment back to the mean. Lien's strategy involves using 15-minute charts and Bollinger Bands to identify entry and exit points. Here's a more detailed look at how Kathy Lien and others discuss mean reversion strategies: What is Mean Reversion?...Ignored
DislikedManaged to take one trade yesterday and resulted in breakeven. {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} I understand — the trade hit your take profit right after stopping you out. Like I mentioned, with enough screen time and practice observing how price behaves around the indicators we use, your trade management will improve significantly. In this case, both MACD and TTM Squeeze were showing clear signs of weakening bearish momentum. That was a good reason to stay in the trade instead of moving your stop to breakeven too early. Of course, since the trade worked out, it's easy to say this in hindsight — but the point is, with more experience...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Quick 5R trade — this is exactly the kind of setup I was referring to earlier. Even though the overall trend is still strongly bearish, the MACD is clearly losing momentum. That’s often a good time to secure profits. Could the move continue? Maybe — but given the shift in momentum, it's often smarter to take the win and exit cleanly. {image}Ignored
