@BlueSail

Why not consider starting with a $10,000 account deposit.
You can grow that slowly but surely to one million dollars.
One Million in 36 months or One Million in 36 years, you choose.

I am currently a junior in university, soon to start my internship and enter the professional world. My trading journey began last November, transitioning from stocks to futures, and finally finding my place in Forex.
I’ve always believed in learning from the best—those with true authority and a proven track record. I feel fortunate to have discovered BigE early on. To be honest, I spent the last two months testing this system in the Chinese futures market, but the results were underwhelming. After some analysis, I realized the lack of liquidity and heavy restrictions there were the main hurdles. This led me to the Forex market.
I’ve always had a "stubborn" confidence in myself. No matter how absurd a goal might sound to others, I believe I can master whatever I set my mind to. While turning $10k into $1M is definitely on my horizon, I know I must walk before I can run. My experience is still limited, so I’ve set a tactical goal: grow a $1,000 demo account to $3,000 to refine my edge and learn from my mistakes.
@emmanuel7788, you have been posting your trades here since 2011—that’s 15 years! If you don't mind me asking, what does this consistency mean to you after all this time? Has trading simply become a way of life for you?
I will be posting my records here and look forward to any guidance or critiques.

Just opened 4 trades.
EUR/USD & AUD/USD: Both pairs are in oversold territory with a good angle and Stochastic confirmation. Even though the previous pullbacks were shallow, I believe the reversal is finally here.
USD/JPY & EUR/JPY: For these two, Im seeing the green line crossing above the red line with a solid angle, again confirmed by the Stochastics.
Update: Its been 7 minutes and Im currently sitting in drawdown (not looking great at the moment). But hey, you have to give the trades some room to breathe, right?
If you spot any flaws in my logic, please feel free to point them out. I would be honored to learn from your feedback.

Took a hit on AU and UJ.
Lesson learned: Avoid trading in the chop. UJ specifically was throwing long wicks, which should have been my signal to stay out.
Question on EU: I had a setup with a candle color change and TDI Green > 80. usually that's a sell, but price ripped right through it. Is this a case where momentum ignores the overbought condition?

Looks like a solid setup. Just watch out for potential support around 1.9680.

Hi BlueSail,
Eur/USD : it is un uptrend plus the candle didnt close, you need to wait for confirmation candle close and the tdi cross.
AUD/USD : i took that loss too even tho everything was good to me BigE said we are allowed for some losses here and there
USD/jpy : candles were small in your chart and PA show consolidation or ranging markets, we need to avoid those conditions
Eur/JPY : i took one buy on h4 timeframe
Good luck in your new trading experience

If you are on the H1 chart look at least at the h4 before going in, preferably also D1. Above 80 or below 20 and staying there just means its a strong up/down trend, it can stay there for a long time.

Thanks for the heads-up, bro. I definitely misunderstood that earlierappreciate the correction. I see now how strong the trend can be even when indicators are overbought/oversold.
However, Ive read from some authorities (including E) that analyzing a single timeframe is sufficient. Im going to stick with that approach for now to keep things simple.

Update: I might be overtrading a bit today.
Here are the results for my closed trades:

  1. EUR/USD (19:00-20:00): -16.2 pips
  2. AUD/USD (19:00-21:00): -20 pips (Caught in a range)
  3. GBP/USD (20:00-22:00): +8.9 pips
  4. USD/JPY (19:00-20:00): -30 pips (Caught in a range)
  5. GBP/JPY (19:00-21:00): +20 pips > * Exit Reason: Hit trailing stop. (I moved my SL to +20 pips once the trade was up 50 pips).

Lesson learned: Stay away from the CHOP!
I actually logged the chart state at the open of every single candle during these trades, but posting it all here would clutter the thread. If anyone is interested in that data, feel free to PM me.
Current Status: Still holding 4 open trades, all currently running in profit.

Great trades!
Do you use any specific SL/TP strategy?
Currently, my trade management rules are:

  1. Initial SL: A hard stop of 100 pips (emergency stop).
  2. @ +20 pips: Move SL to Break Even (BE).
  3. @ +50 pips: Lock in +20 pips.
  4. @ +70 pips: Lock in +30 pips, and so on.

Manual Exit: Of course, if the Green line flattens out or hooks, I close the trade immediately regardless of the pips.

one of the reasons why most traders here failed to make money the last 15 + years is that they did not use Initial Stop Loss and Position Sizing. Many read the OP posts but did not understand why he would risk 15 to 30% of his $10,000 account per trade.

many other reasons why traders did not succeed is this click <download>

in trading theory ... YES.

But in real-time market conditions this will never work when you do not have the skills to read the market.
