{quote} interesting, an adaptive target line, i never heard about that. good trade!
That is my edge. ;-).

Conservative exit. Price did drop lower and touch the target line. Still working on trusting the method.

I also struggle with this and ask myself, “Should I have let the trade run longer?”
But then there are trades where you've watched for too long and the profit is gone again. That's stressful...

After much deliberation, I decided to limit the daily loss from -30% to -10%, similar to what prop trading firms do.
-30% is simply a psychological disaster and causes stress...and that should be avoided, as Tyross said.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

{quote} Agree. I was chasing my tail and making trading far harder than it needed to be. I was trend‑scalping and trying to force every trade to end in profit, which demands constant focus and lightning‑fast reactions. That level of intensity just isn’t sustainable over the long term. So took a break from it all to re-evaluate and find a more relaxing way of trading, like you mention. And could make the profit needed in a potentially short time frame when able to trade. Only want 50-100 pips, so completely possible.
The Dax is very volatile. Because of that, it's normal to hit fairly high daily point targets. I’ve stuck with the 200-point goal I calculated when I first started using my method (not KoF, though it also uses multi-positioning). I found this target to be comfortable and, over time, easy to exceed.

So, for those considering the Dax 40, 200 points a day is a solid goal. Anything beyond that is just a head start on future targets.

This system has been around for many years; KOF is just one variable. If you look at Russian forums from 2007, they were already discussing this strategy and reaching the same conclusion: the stop loss is the account itself. We use mean reversion, so we work with exhaustion. Nobody knows which pip it will move; that's why the stop loss is the account. If I have 10k and want a stop loss of 1k, I only deposit 1k and work with that. I either burn through the account or double it. If I burn through it, I wait a week and come back. If I double it, I withdraw and come back again the following week for more. The key is that the annual net profit is positive.


The market is like the ocean; once you enter it, there's nothing but survival. Nothing is safe, there are no guarantees until you reach land. The market is the same; until your money is in the bank, you'll always be in danger, no matter how many safety nets you invent. It's all your brain searching for something that shows it security, but it doesn't exist; it's just your brain looking for the easy way out.

If it displays poorly on the instrument.
Enable the function:

No link provided previously, not in this thread anyway...
Just looks like another way of displaying VOL, which is only individual brokers buy/sell orders anyway...how is it an improvement on the standard VOL indi?

On my Ichimoku thread, a very clear M1 setup. The entries are scaled, as shown in this thread, but not using the KoF method.
