14 trades?... I think you're over trading and not being selective enough.

Easily spotted.... You can't see it.....?

You are letting your losers go to -20. You need to perfect your entries and kill trades that go backwards immediately. (You need to determine will it be -5, -6, -??) You need to practice this on demo until you get a feel for price action and how your money management is playing out. Trades only shooting for 5 pips that don't go as planned are not supposed to go to -20. Killer precision entries is your goal. Keep practicing. Again this will take weeks, months, years. No shortcuts bud...

You have to be willing to force taking a small loss immediately if it doesn't look right. Trade psychology. It's ok to take a small loss. It's trading. A big loss is silly.


Also go visit other threads on support and resistance so you understand the concept. It will help your trading. Price pivots as well in James 16 thread good stuff too.

Your results would have been good without those big drawdowns. If you don't understand what drawdown means, run a search. You can't trade without this understanding.

Agreed and would add that many of the + trades were for 2,3,4 points vs the target of 5.

Hey Kubiasty, did a quick run through on your wins and if you had hit 5 points on all the wins you cut short you would have added $109 to your profit. Add in a quicker SL at say 10 points instead of 20 and you would have netted +$200 or so.

another quick +5 pips. See what I meant about the rising trend line, price came down to the pip kissed it and said "Goodbye". I did not take the short signal as it was exactly 5pips to the trend line, remember, to get 5 pips price has to move 6-7 pips depending on your brokers spread, even in none MT4 situations price has to go 6 pips for 5, so make sure you have the room for your TP to be filled. Price has just shot thru the S&R level, don't know why, probably another rumour, but I will wait for it to settle back, which it will, before I look for another entry, although it is 16.30pm GMT +1 so I will leave it for today.

Assuming I have understood TK5's method correctly you open a trade at the START of the third green HA candle in frame 5. The basis of the strategy was to wait for a HA candle to close over the 5EMA then enter when the next candle OPENS clear of the EMA. If you have been waiting for the third candle in frame 5 to close then, you've missed the trade.

However in the example listed I would uerge caution because the EMA is pointing downwards so you may be fighting against the prevailing trend.
Getting there, slowly but surely...

I think it's a bit late in the day really with London having closed and personally, I prefer to take these after a trendline break and after a candle that hasn't touched the ema.
