{quote} Whether you trade also ons of the KoFs strategy?
KoF hasn't invented anything, it just offers a version of this approach, nothing more.
Everyone will create their own scenario and apply this principle of global net price: reverse, price excess, return to Gap... it's endless. You just have to find your personal approach.
Dax only.
Something closer to reality... Let's also start posting losing trades, it will clear the air. Let's show deposits/withdrawals from brokers. No one knows whose account it is, don't worry. Let's be a little more honest with others, and perhaps most importantly, with ourselves. Trust me, the greatest traders in the world go bankrupt too, sometimes multiple times. Trading is incredibly thankless. {image}
(I will never post my trading account because my username in FF is known in France. My income is only relevant to the French tax authorities, not my neighbors, my friends, or social media. I hope you understand.
).I have read your trade report, and one big problem is immediately clear: your losses are too large, and your gains are small.
It is very clear that you are afraid of losing. But you are cutting your gains too quickly.
What is your Profit Factor? What is your Recovery Factor as well? What is your Drawdown? It is very important to know these figures. The Win trades, however, is less important.
It's easy to generate a general report on MT5 or MT4. Do it, and look at where the problems lie. That is what you will need to work on. We can certainly help you by giving you some tips
Dax only.

{quote} Hello there, Sorry if this was already answered by you but how do choose your exits? I find the trend trading interesting especially trend scalping but i dont know how you exit your trades.
So...strong trends can only be found if you follow them with orders, orders that follow price movements.
You can certainly see them on historical charts, but on online charts?
Only with orders you can find them.
That's where I gamble.
If you find a trend...that's where your ability to close orders is tested.
The easiest technique in forex trading is opening orders.
The most difficult technique is determining when to close orders, because one technique often conflicts with another.
Therefore, master many closing order techniques.
The image below is an example of the concept of applying closing orders from various closing order techniques.
post #16,244
The orientation should always be to close when profitable, or if your predictions and analysis indicate that the price movement will go against your order
and pict Below is an example of a partial order close, and order closed for support.
With the price predicted to continue falling, the top sell order is held.
This is merely speculation; the price could suddenly rise
Remember...set your trading cycle period...1 hour...2 hours....
After 1 trading cycle...profit or loss....turn off MT4, leave the computer, and do other activities so you don't get addicted or seek revenge

Turn off MT4, turn off your computer, do something else, and forget about trading.
Trading is just speculation.
For those who think trading is an investment...
How many years have you invested your time in training and developing your strategy?
