just be careful trading low time frame charts, its easy for a daily bear to sudden come in a fuck up a m5 bull

Haha, I will blame it on my fish. If it swim upwards, I long, if it swim down, I short. Maybe I'll add a snake in to work as MA. Price move like how fish swims.

Oh mate you cant imagine how much these low timeframes already cost me . But err, I wanna be a millionaire, so I gotta zoom in, so I can shoot hard and have tight SL. Cant help myself.

The result is, low timeframes sometimes confuse me and I get cut...These two weeks were perfect example. I need a bounce so I take partial and trades are BE. If no bounce, is cut after cut and I dont actually enjoy that. Also second result is lots of my trades simply end up BE. As I enter low timeframe, get a bounce and a) take partial so SL is on same place but actually BE b) move stops to BE. I have many many BE trades before monthly/quarterly move starts. Is time exhausting, but pays well.

why not zoom out, and wait for the proper entry and load onto a trade hard instead??

the low time frame causes confusions, but look at daily and its clear as hell.... this shit is gona go down to retest the lows of 1.04xx now that the Resistance turned Support now turned resistance again at 1.1

Bcoz am poor? Well, not really poor taking in account living standards, but pretty poor considered equity I would need for trading. Is pretty hard to survive on market while undercapitalized. Equity I got now can safely make me for rent and food, but I gotta work 12 hrs a day. So, I need equity to grow, so I can work 8 hrs a day like a normal guy. Am coming for it . If this support breaks, I simply loose 3,5%. But am through 4 charts, and it takes only one chart to hit partial to have trades +-BE.

I prefer to trade the daily chart, I accept the fact that if I trade the daily chart trade opportunities are much less but will be much less confusion in the market's price action, giving me a better chance to chase after those big pipped trades that can be held for some time, id rather load up my trades being sure on higher time framed even if it means I get less chances to trade than the m15 chart. but it also mean trading the daily chart would filter out all the intraday noise.

Mate I am mostly focusing on Daily and Weekly charts as well. And I got a Daily support here. I am using those low timeframes just to have superprecise entries, so I can load more.

Edit: See, like this, saved few pips thx to zoom. Now should we go few more pips up, I can safely go BE. Is a multientry btw.
Edit2: We can go to 1,04, I got no problem with that. Just BE, BE, BE, and then am megarich
Edit3: I dont see it likely though, I got monthly max overshoot down to 1,076....1,0855 very strong R in my charts. Though Daily looks scarry, didnt break and chart is oversold. Moreover, I still consider it move thx to UJ. Once it runs out of steam, all charts go boom.

okay but don't have a superprecise Stop loss or you will get stopped out super precisely.
but this comes down to how shady your broke is....

I will not get chopped in intraday settlement . Sometimes I place a scalping SL, but usually I use this roundup +1pip for slippage +2 pips for brokers fackup +1 pips for my wrong count, then round up and move below round number . In the end SL is usually about 10 pips away from place I projected as perfect.

one question here. if someone is mentally strong enough wouldn't it be better to use a very large stop by default ( a 50 - 100 pips intraday stop will not be hunted by a broker most likely, IMO, but if the hell breaks loose you might be happy about this SL ) and handle the SL by yourself ?

I know this is gonna end up in the bin as always, but I got this saying: "The second you go to toilet, they bomb the White house." I also have some wide stops. My stops are varying in timeframes, only when I load first entries, they are tight. Ofc would be the best to be mentally superstrong and all swing trades do manually, but.. again...toilet case fackup can be expensive. Like Fukushima etc...

I don't think I'm all that "mentally strong" yet, but yeah.... that's what I do. I almost never use a small S/L, but I DO use an "emergency" one. Yeah, like 50 pips usually. I may never have considered that had it not been for what the crazy Swiss did in mid January, but since then... (and I know even 50 pips wouldn't have helped on that day, but AT LEAST I could have gone back later and argued with my broker that I TRIED to do the right thing by having a S/L in place.)

as for my style of trading, I make sure I place a trade that I can handle. if I enter a trade and it goes into some serious drawdown, when it reaches around 15-20% drawdown on my account ill start to kick in using my still free liquidity to place trades on other currency pair which I think has high chance of making profit.
so unless im very wrong, and being consecutively wrong in 5 currency pair's views then im screwed but this hasn't happen and till now I havent had to take action into having to enter a trade to cushion the drawdown incurred by the first trade. very often im capable of holding the trade out.
but this leaves me open to situation where if I placed a trade in the wrong direction and USDCHF dropped 3000 pips in seconds, then im in trouble. but im smart enough not to be trading or playing with something as manipulated as the Swiss Franc back then.....
