Trader454,

Over 95% of Retail Traders cannot understand the KoF Strategies, EMA or 1% because its not what they were taught by others. niks has another FF Forum that he uses and is based on the other Guru called Al Brooks and if he does NOT want to follow KoF Strategies, then he can return to his old Forum and preach any additional methodology freely... Very few Traders have read KoF Paid Training Courses (all 4 of them) much less attended any of his paid monthly Live Trading Seminars (VIP)...

i know this is a bit to ask, but could you explain more about it, i was initially intrigued by your entries and thought KOF course could hold some answer but it didn't for me. Thanks
i have not watched or ever recommended the full ema course, you need to be more specific about what you don't understand and i will clarify, the explanation for my entries is described in detail in previous posts, again, be more specific about which post confuses you and i will explain it, ideally, you should be more specific and tell me why you think it's not quite the same and i will show you examples from his free videos

can you tell me what the safe zone is? how much time have you spent with this strategy?

there is no alteration, you must read my previous posts, the entire strategy is subjective, there are no rules or objectivity, have you heard him say you must feel the market? do you know what that means?

there is no heiken ashi in KoF strategies and there are no arrows or spikes on his charts, all his trading is on m1, these charts are totally irrelevant and you're a waste of time

{quote} 1. only m1, can handle DD better 2. i split my sessions into 2 parts. between them i have a long break of 2-3 hours. toilet, breakfast and brush teeth are the distractions i can handle;-) and my wife is very helpful in this time. this is important, she has to understand the priority. 3. so far i limit my positions of a basket to approximately 30 positions and have no stop loss or account equity stop. KOF has also never closed a bad trade, i watched him going down more than -20% and he kept the position open.
Thank you for the answer. This exactly answers the questions.
I KOF video about this EMA strategy, but i will need to watch it multiple times as KOF has iit's own way of explaining.

{quote} Let me be honest with you, i was disappointed after watching and absorbing the full EMA course by KoF, the general idea is good but the secret that he talks about and technicals of the method are subjective to a great extent, if NIKS managed to merge it with another trading methodology to make it more objective and rule based then that's a great thing, i was trying to do the same with a lot of trading techniques but couldn't make it happen yet. That's why i created an account to try to discuss it with him and get more insight about the possible...
Trader 454

Thankyou for your interest in KOF and this thread. I hope you will benefit from it greatly.

However, if you are looking for a 'more objective and rule based' trading strategy, then the KOF Countertrend or Full EMA strategies are not for you. You may have missed the essence of what KOF is all about. I recommend you study 400 of his livestream videos, and I mean really study them, in order to understand the KOF way of trading.

What KOF has done in his presentations and his products is provide techniques for countertrend trading and with-trend trading, but still using the reading of price action as the basis of trading. He himself has said
"There are no absolute rules - each situation demands a different response by the trader." Also, as niks said,
"You must develop a feeling for the markets."

He himself is a Virtuoso Maestro of price action, and I have seen videos of him where he uses no indicators at all, just reading price action.

My point is KOF himself does not advocate a 'more objective and rule based' trading strategy, in fact if you have watched his livestreams you will know he strongly disagrees with such ideas. The markets constantly change, just like the wind and currents on the sea, so one fixed strategy 'setting' will not work in variable conditions. KOF stresses the need to read price action first and foremost. The EMAs are there just as 'guardrails', as guides, providing us with parameters to trust the prevailing price action and 'where price is currently'.

I have studied all his videos and his products, and even though I do not post many trades, I can honestly say that the original content from Post #1, posted by Abade in this M1 Countertrend Scalping Strategy forum/thread is a great place to start diving deep into KOF's trading techniques. For more detail, work through the YouTube livestream videos methodically.

Lastly, gringo2019 posted a link to a YouTube video by ZenTrader called 'Trade One System Only'. I strongly agree with the idea.

I have included KOF's top sayings, I hope they might be of help.

All the best.
