Indeed.

I will need spend some time on it, preferably on demo, as today live trades were "beginners luck".

I know it can be a pain in the ass trading the MT4 app. I use to hate it. So I connected my phone to a VPS & this way I have access to my regular MT4 platform from my phone 24/7 including all custom indis, that you can not have in the app. I love the freedom & trade from it daily.

Here is a screen shot of what I see now from my Android phone ... I can change templates, profiles, indicators etc etc on the fly right from my phone.

That mistake cost me 13% of account.However I managed to recover the loss from DAX which gained 18% on the first day. DAX was ideal today for top/bottom picking. Anyhow I finished the day in the green although it would have been much much more, including a DAX trade closed at BE after reaching 9%.

Hi there,

I've been beaten hard on DAX in the last 2 days.
Even this last assumed runner was stopped at BE.

I've been so patient on profits, and most of them stopped at BE.
It would have been much better if I took profits at 2:1 RR.

Anyway, it was a good experiment for me.
Looking at the trades taken, most of them were impatient bad entries, so I need to work on that.
Once I reach something I will post it under trading systems.

Have a nice day,

Khalil

Sir, I would suggest to remove the BE from equation. Loose it or win it.

It wouldn't make a difference as I was using small stop loss. So maybe I need to make SL a bit further.
Main problem in my opinion was the Entry Timing caused by wrong market reading.

So I am still a believer of High RR concept, but I need to find the best system that goes with that.
What I am thinking now, is the system should work on high time frame, perhaps Daily using low leverage, and try to catch daily swings.

Took a long position on NU Daily to attempt to close the Daily long LVC Target. I have since moved my stop to B/E + 3. Worse case scenario I get stopped out +3 & the Low LVC Target gets closed 1st or my Long LVC Target closes & I gain roughly 125 Pips

Sir, Any suggestion from my side to you will be like showing candles to sun.

But there is no point in just assuming a High RR. Lets suppose someone trade with 1:100 . Would it make some sense? I think not. If setting a 20 times bigger TP sending me into lands where price will hardly go then i think is not right choice. As compare to this if i am getting a trade with 1:3 RR and my TP not laying in area of hard possibilities to be hit, then i will prefer it as compare to a 1:20 RR where my TP laying in areas where price will hardly go.

From a very experience trader, i learnt a general rule regarding SL and TP.
SL: Set SL in areas where market will need to make new highs or lows in order to hit your SL.
TP: Don't Set TP in area where you hope that market will make new lows or highs to hit your TP.
