{quote} Ask your self... What do you do on demo and you are not doing live? Psychologically too and when you find the answer adjust your approach to do the same. It can be risk management blocking you, tipical it is. That create doubts that lead rush things or not play your setup every time it appears, and to get an edge in a pattern we should try to trade the most as we can. Honestly don't know patterns that appear so often normal is be patiente, unless we are talking about open and closes that does 2 things, all the others don't appear very often....
This hits home. On demo we follow rules perfectly, but live risk changes everything psychologically. Fear of loss leads to hesitation, rushed entries, or skipping valid setups. Tight, predefined risk fixes that gap. Once risk is controlled, patience improves and you can execute the same way you do on demo.

{quote} why so?? do you know that SL is not optimize? it should be at bottom of last hour low , but im entry little bit late, therefore i have to put it in the test level of it What else you expect? $2 for $28 that very nice rate with me already also it still in a range... {image}
Because execution timing matters. If you’re late, the technical stop (last hour low) no longer matches the risk you want to take. So you adapt the SL to the structure you’re trading, not the “perfect” textbook level.
$2 risk for $28 potential is solid R:R, especially in a range. As long as the stop is logical and risk is fixed, it’s a valid trade — not every entry will be optimal, discipline is what keeps it profitable.

{quote} this power is too much for me. so you know, FTMO isnt biggest anymore Fundednext and fundingpips is bigger.



The market power right now is a bit much for me. Also, FTMO isn’t the biggest anymore FundedNext and FundingPips have grown larger. Like I mentioned before, size keeps shifting in this space, so it’s better to focus on execution, rules, and risk rather than the firm name.

slower scaling pressure, clear risk rules, and conditions that reward consistency over aggression. It fits a patient, rule-based approach better than chasing fast payouts. Different firms suit different styles this one aligns with mine.

Since the recent few weeks saw a massive volatility in gold and silver prices, the traders with small equities were wiped away too quickly. The average daily range for gold is now too high to be handled by accounts under a $1000. So, the best alternate is to use a cent account. Here's a list of top 3 cent account broker, based on my personal experience: 1. Exness It is a popular broker with multiple payment processors, instant deposits and withdrawals. The broker is old and reputed, trusted by hundreds of thousands of traders worldwide. There's...
When trading gold on a cent account during high ADR periods, are you adjusting position size and stop-loss based on ATR, or are you keeping fixed lot sizes and hoping spreads don’t eat you alive?

the idea is to have one universal thread for trading any currency pair or commodity or indexes , basically anything that can be traded for profit. this should avoid those dull times when a particular pair cannot be traded, plus shaing news and economic events which can affect trades.

Great idea. A universal trading thread keeps things active when one pair is dead and another is moving.
We can share setups, news, and economic events that impact FX, commodities, and indices all in one place.
We’re not loyal to pairs — we trade opportunity. What’s moving this week

Welcome to the Elliott Wave Analysis for Gold Thread Hello everyone, Welcome to this dedicated forum thread where we will focus on Elliott Wave analysis specifically for Gold (XAU/USD). The goal of this thread is to create a space for traders, analysts, and enthusiasts to discuss, analyze, and share insights based on the principles of Elliott Wave Theory as applied to the gold market. Elliott Wave Theory offers a unique perspective on market cycles, helping to predict the future price movements of assets like Gold by identifying recurring patterns...

Gold is one of the best instruments for Elliott Wave because of its strong impulsive and corrective cycles driven by macro sentiment and risk flows. XAU/USD often respects clean 5-wave structures on higher timeframes and sharp ABC corrections intraday.

I'm short from 1.2176 sl: 1.2265. I took the position Friday morning around 8AM EST. I wanted to trail the stop, but fell asleep because of whacky sleeping patterns last week. Luckily price didnt suddenly reverse on me through my stop again. I'm thinking about moving the s/l asap to 1.2170, about breakeven. I'll cover on another bounce around 1.1205 area, but I'd like to leave the trade open and hopefully make some decent gains on a break below 1.2060 area. I wish I wouldve gotten in earlier, but have been focusing on the GBPUSD and USDCHF lately....
Moving SL to 1.2170 protects capital, but it’s tight and could get hit on a simple liquidity sweep above 1.2140–1.2160 before continuation.
If 1.2060 is your real breakdown level, ask whether BE aligns with structure or just comfort.

I hear you. Although respectfully disagree with your comments on IB model, we should conduct business in a ethical way. Turning clients' funds into commission payout model can only last for a short time. So far, ATC, Alpari UK, FXCM UK is on my radar, any other potential candidates? Thanks
I hear you, and I agree that ethics matter more than short-term commission models. Turning client losses into firm revenue isn’t sustainable.
ATC, Alpari UK, and FXCM UK are solid names on your radar, but you might also look at IC Markets, Pepperstone, and OANDA for fair execution and transparent pricing. Always validate regulation, spreads, and slippage before committing. Discipline and ethical models support long-term success.

Hello Is there a broker That really don't mess with EA ? They all say they don't but they do and if I will record my live accounts, I can prove it . Best Regards Roslan
There are brokers that genuinely respect EAs, but 99% claim it while throttling or restricting without admitting it. If you have recordings proving manipulation on your live accounts, that says a lot.Look into IC Markets, Pepperstone, and True ECN Brokers — most reported by EA users as clean execution with minimal interference. Still, always backtest on demo and monitor ping/slippage before trusting live. Transparency and good support matter more than marketing claims.

That’s a serious amount of capital. First, stay calm and stop increasing lot sizes just to “unlock” withdrawals — that’s dangerous.
A legitimate broker should not require extra trading volume to process withdrawals unless it’s tied to a bonus agreement. If there was no bonus, volume requirements are a red flag.
Since this involves Exness, immediately:

  1. Re-check your client agreement for any volume clause.
  2. File a formal written complaint through their official channel.
  3. If unresolved, escalate to their regulator listed under your account entity.

Hi everyone, I need urgent advice regarding my withdrawal issue with Exness. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Over the past 3 months, I have deposited a total of approx. $95,000 USD (yes, I know, I should have been more cautious). I trade small lot sizes and have made a modest 4% profit, managing my risk carefully. The Problem: On February 22nd, I needed to withdraw my funds and submitted a request. It was rejected, with Exness hinting that my trading volume was too low. In desperation, I traded 10x larger lot sizes over the last 3...

So my trading revolves around scalping and day trading, So tightest spread is essential, i found this broker offer great spreads for both indices and forex but wondering what your thoughts on this broker,



Tight spreads matter a lot for scalping and day trading, but spreads alone don’t make a good broker. You also need reliable execution, low slippage, real liquidity, and fair pricing.

Hello Traders: I'm starting this thread to share my experience and learn from you. After few years trying many tools, strategies, instruments with up and down results, I finally embraced the life principle: keep it simple! From all instruments, I found Nasdaq is the best one in terms of liquidity and volatility and where you can make quick and important rewards. So this thread is preferably reserved for NQ and to lesser extent all other indices. The strategy is very simple: 1- I trade mainly NY Session. I trade both Spots and Futures. 2- Identify...
Great breakdown! I really like how you emphasize keeping it simple and focusing on key levels across multiple timeframes. Tracking HH/LL from higher timeframes and then using lower TF for precise entries is a solid approach.
One thing that really helps me when trading NQ is keeping a trade journal: logging every entry, STP, TP, the reasoning behind the trade, and emotions during the trade. Over time, it makes it way easier to see patterns in your wins and mistakes, and it’s amazing for refining your strategy without guessing.
Looking forward to seeing your daily trades and learning from your setups! GL

What do you think about this? USDJPY is trying to break the 38.6 level. Is it going for the 50% level? {image}
Looks interesting! If USDJPY is testing the 38.6% retracement, the next key level to watch would indeed be the 50% retracement. I’d wait for a clear price reaction or confirmation candle at 38.6 before assuming it’ll continue to 50%. Watching how it interacts with support/resistance or higher timeframe levels can give a better entry/exit plan.

I expect the fall will resume at around 114.15. But, i think being short from 112.85/90 with SL 113.15 is still worth of risking 25/30 pips.
Makes sense! Shorting from 112.85–112.90 with a SL at 113.15 for ~25–30 pips risk seems reasonable, especially if you expect the fall to resume around 114.15. Key will be watching price action near those levels to confirm the setup before committing.

Tricks from the crypt, time price analysis. Just posting charts. Great learning for those who seek alternative tading style outside the box. Ego's do not exist inside this practice never have, never will. All insights in this field welcome.
Love this approach! Time Price Analysis is definitely an “outside the box” method—great for seeing market rhythm and cycles that traditional strategies might miss. Totally agree that keeping ego out is key; it allows you to learn from the charts and market behavior itself. Looking forward to seeing your charts and insights!

{quote} I agree—but at least for today, and maybe tomorrow, we’re stuck in the middle. Sellers haven’t broken below 3650, and buyers haven’t cleared 3670. Until one side confirms, it’s just range.
Exactly, that’s the classic range-bound scenario. Until either sellers push below 3650 or buyers break 3670, it’s basically a “wait and watch” zone. Trying to force a trade in this middle ground can be risky better to let the market show its hand.
