{quote} Thanks a lot, suggestion, could you add a martingale option for recovery? I have tested and I think the EA should be able to recover fairly quickly, not a lot of losses in a row.
yes I am able, but believe me, a standard martingale approach will sooner or later kill your account. 100% guaranteed.

this look right

word of caution for everyone

when a candle first opens, often it farts around for a bit, it goes up, it goes down, it goes back up

Watch it and wait for a proper move up or down, then place buy stop/ sell stop, if appropriate

Are you still adhering to R/R=1:1?
I see you're taking profits quite early.

i keep taking profits early, even though i see 1-1 RR filling nicely , for now im not seeing it as a problem because i keep winning lol

surely 1-1 rr is more sensible ,

the thing that im pondering most is if 10% max drawdown is appropriate , maybe its too high ,

DAY 9: 2.55% profit

i should definitely hold trades longer, but still, another day of profit

monthly profit 20.23%

i only need 20% average a month, i could take rest of month off , and in fact im gonna because im gonna withdraw this money to help pay my rent (yes, im poor)

so i will leave this as it is, im quite confident this can be long term profitable,

once again if someone wants to lend me 5, 10, 15 or even 50k, that would be nice lol

image 2 includes a win and a loss on my main strategy

Were did your sl stay!?
SL is relative to TP , so set tp taking most of wick , then that determines your SL (1-1)

although often once a bottom wick has been formed i place the sL below the bottom wick , as long as it isnt too big

rules are not black and white, the trader makes decisions on the fly,

And 2 more TP , M15 and H1. Guys, try it out. I assure you it worth trying. I won't sharing my trades any further , before I'm get overconfident and arrogant. This system is so great.
