Best Thread on FF.
When you put your SL to BE?.

Hey Tylerz,

Thanks for reaching out.

Apologies for not responding. I'm in the middle of moving to another country so stuck with that.

That's a difficult one. Still experimenting with risk management. Trying to see what is most optimal for this style of trading, without over fitting.

So far I would only go to BE when using 1:3 RRR, and then do that only when price gets to about +2R or higher. But then I started to realize that maybe it was better not mess with BE's at all.

Not happy with how I entered here - already extended move on MTF. Should have waited for pullback (which came quickly).

Didn't like the price action so I finished for the day.

-4R

I really messed up today. At one point when I changed the template I didn't check the size so I hit 10 times bigger and of course lost. Then I tried to get it back, went tilt, and we know how that ends. Anyway, I think I can be happy with (only) -4R loss. But in terms of dollar amount the loss is more noticeable, obviously. There's no point in posting trades, it was a mess.

Due to technical difficulties I had to end early, but managed to take 1 trade.

Are you working with price action also or just this indicator

If by price action you mean market structure such as highs and lows and support & resistance, etc., then the answer is - no.

However, I observe if the two higher timeframes are showing compression (reduction in activity), within which I don't play.

Execution was on 1 sec chart (missing in screenshot above)

Caught in a range. If I had followed my own rules the loss would have been smaller, maybe even breakeven.


Just got an interesting idea...

That’s a good sign your system is doing its job; you just need to trust it.

Continuing with the inverse logic system, but this time with delta divergences - going against popular teachings.

In an attempt to simplify my trading and if at all possible to only use something of the MA type, today I tested a slightly different approach.
