Me too...........! Well, I cheated a bit, it was an overnight trade that hit my auto-TP during the night. Doesn't happen often, but it pays well.

Nice moving average setup on your chart.

great!

yes, this is the only thing on my trading i dont like, that sometimes i also have to hold positions overnight.

regarding the MAs, typical guppy style, somthing i learned years ago. from time to time i use them, but for me choros is my favorite style;-)

I can adjust the trade panel code as needed. The panel is specifically designed for under‑leverage cost‑averaging strategies with mean‑reversion entries toward the moving average. I use it for live trading, so I’ve built it to let me quickly modify the take‑profit levels for all open positions, close profitable trades if the setup starts to break down, or switch to an MA‑target exit when a counter‑trade setup looks favorable.

Loss made up and 80 pips so far today. Dont like holding buys overnight as well due to the negative swap. Sells are ok due to positive swap.

This is example, where price was just sitting so closed all the trades in profit. Had set the TP to last flat area of Tenkan. Waiting for next area to enter trades.

Price did then go up, but trying to juggle :-), so sometimes just have close them. This is problem when you have not made the jump yet.

That’s well above your daily goal of 80-100 pips, that’s cool.

Thanks Tyross, appreciated. I'm not there yet still weeding out the bad trading days. Practice, practice and more practices.

The dream is to make the jump like you and Birdland at some point. How long did it take to know when all the issues had been resolved and always consistent. And how did you know when this time came?

I quit my job in 2014 to trade full-time. I thought I was ready, but I wasn't—not at all.

So, I took various training courses to better understand trading from different perspectives. Specifically, I did a 9-month course on the DAX, which is essential if you want to trade such a brutal asset. By 2018, things were already going much better.

That’s when I met a former floor trader who mentored me (for free!) in dynamic trading using his own system, which he’d invented in 2003 (focused on anticipating moving average slopes—it was a revelation). That really fixed a lot of my issues with market perception.

That was the overall approach.

The next step, a few years ago, was switching to under-leveraging with multiple positions to manage stress (a huge breakthrough for me), in parallel with conventional trading, particularly on Choros. When I started consistently hitting my 200-point targets without making too many silly mistakes, I knew I had cracked it. But I also knew I had to keep going and face as many difficult situations as possible to keep progressing.

Honestly, that’s the real solution: take some hits, step back, and then get back in there. It takes time, patience, and those pivotal encounters (you meet very few people who actually help you move forward, they are rare). There’s no magic, just a lot of hard work.

Thank you for sharing the reality behind achieving the dream — I really appreciate it.

I got up early this morning and saw that this shorttrade from yesterday had not reached my target break-even point:-(

Now I have set a stop loss to at least protect my initial capital of 500.

But I will find a way, I just have to keep going;-)

Updated Trade Panel. Use at own risk, no support, educational purpose only. Always test first on demo account, as codes can have quirks for different brokers etc... {image} Set same TP for all trades, enter price in field Close All trades at once Close only those trades in profit equal to and greater than the setting Close trades when they touch moving average. (this will not delete or replace or change TPs and / or SLs already set).{file}

Your EA works really well, thank you!

It would be nice if the buttons were different colors, as this makes them easier to see in the heat of battle ;-)

In any case, it's a big help and proves KoF wrong, because he thinks EA doesn't work and close his trades manually.

.Well done. When the price is moving vertically on M5 with several large candles and a support level is visible, you should scale into more positions to lower your average entry price as much as possible. You'll hit your daily goal in a single trade. Just a little friendly advice.
