Thank you for your reply. What do you mean by “basis,” if I may ask? The basis of trading in general, or the basis of this strategy?
no problem, if you are a beginner trader, then both! but i meant the basics of this ema strategy...

This strategy seems very risky for M1. I am testing it on M15 and M30 and its less risk I think
it was designed for m1 by the author, how do you determine a higher timeframe is less risk? the longer a position remains open, the more exposed it becomes to external influences...

How do you guys manage when trades go strongly against you? In the first post, it suggested re-entering, but I tried it in demo for a while and, in the end, it ate up my account, the few times it never came back.
you have discovered the limitations of the basic ema strategy and need to move onto learning the advanced ema strategy...

i have no secret indicator or secret anything, this strategy doesn't need it, i still get stuck in them and still take losses, the only secret is hard work and lots of practice and taking losses when required...

trading a prop firm account or as if you had one is the best way to learn, you simply have no choice but to cut your loss at -5%!

{quote} it happens with me too at start, no one will tell you the whole secret because they can lose their edge. but i would suggest watch kof videos and have more experience with candle movement and rejections on EMA especially 50 and 200. then it is your choice ride the trend to end or let the trend end and counter trade, but choose one at start don't master both at start and personally, me I use another indicator to enter trade which I will not share but I use it as a confirmation indicator with Ema's. You will find yours soon. I am just being...
Your secret indicator could mostly be RSI. You will not loose your edge even if you share it. So, pls share if possible. Others need to master it, which depends on their psychology and handling their trades in every conditions of the market.

yes niks most of his livestreams are titled 'Advanced' this or that, but most still use the Basic Version of the EMA Strategy. I did however find one (in the 400 I have studied!) where he does employ the Full Version of the EMA Strategy, it is in the 'How To Trade Indices' section of his playlists, broadcast on 14 Jan 2021, and it is called 'How to Trade Indices'. He trades US30 in this livestream. In this livestream he actually uses the Full Version of the EMA Strategy, it's the only one in all his livestreams I have found where he does not primarily countertrend.

It's a hidden gem.

Okay, let's go. In my second trade, I add S/R levels, an RSI, and Heikin Ashi candles for confirmation. I exited too early, on the 20 EMA. But was it too early? I need to understand this aspect of the strategy. If you have any suggestions on this, I would appreciate it.

it is one of the better videos for trend following - i like the videos where he trades both trend and countertrend on the same pair demonstrating all aspects of the full ema strategy...

it might be RSI but i want you to test it yourself. see where it fails and where it didn't. I already told you enough to get your foot on the right track. There are bunch others better than RSI indicators too just for you to know. do the thing and keep on improving. I might remove my right now confirmation indicator if i find better with better optimize setting. I also try to keep improving

The thing is most people who are into trading don't know all the major indicator they are using are based on Moving Averages. Moving averages are GOAT in Trading. As KOF says Moving Average are like a magnet to Price Action. There is wisdom in his words, and it comes from experience.

it is never too early if you make a profit, even better if that was your target when you entered, because you reached it!

your execution for the best time to exit improves with time, your chart is noisy and i do not recommend ha candles, this strategy relies heavily on price action and the minute details within it...

better to remove the sr indicator, you must judge these levels by eye...

i like your oscillator but hate your volume, just use the standard one with an ema20 overlay and keep it simple...

Thank you for your reply. When you talk about “price trends and the smallest details within them,” do you mean that it is better to observe the candles in order to interpret them (hammer, engulfing, etc.)? I find it difficult to remove the levels because I am used to using them, but I will try. I don't like Volume either, it was a temporary thing, and I'll follow your advice. Thank you, I'm attaching the oscillator if it can be useful to anyone.
