One loss and one win. Sick market without momentum. The market is way oversold condition. Done for the day and week.

4H 50 EMA and 1H 200 EMA confluence is today's focus to me......

June was terrible... It seems my strategy doesn't survive more than 2 months....

New day and new month has started. A good start trading today. Knowing some vulnerabilities in my strategy, I have tweaked my strategy a little bit last night.

MAs in multiple TFs are well aligned and I expected $4000 would be tested again.... When MAs are aligned, we often have a strong move in one direction. I want to trade only such a quality day like today. I don't expect I can trade well each and everyday. That's a joke. Patience will be paid off eventually. Anyway, I cut the profit much early as I needed some wining trade urgently to save my account. Feel a little bit better now.

I am a bad day trader but I am honest at least. My strategy didn't work well from the end of June. Not yet blown but only $118 left before it hits the trailing SL. It's a bit expected as I knew my strategy hasn't survived for more than two months... Let me go back to the drawing room to figure out...

Demo practicing until I regain confidence..... I need to have some patience to wait some pull-back. RR needs to be improved very badly.

An interesting comment about moving average from someone in Mrtools' thread:

Although me and ChatGPT disagree with him in certain points ( https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...4#post15795504 ), I agree "The moving average is not suitable for determining market direction". That was one of the mistakes I currently made about EMAs I use....

One more trade. All 3 trades are winners today. All demo as I said early. Seems today's PA is clean and easy. Not everyday likes today.

I think I can go back to Lucid account trading as early as next week. Perhaps I may need to purchase a new one.

Last one was a loser. Entry was bad (as usual). Demo account.

Perhaps done for the day and week. One loss, one BE and 2 wins. Market wasn't that much difficult today I think.

Hi Justin, what is your average Risk to Reward? Just curious

{quote} Hi Justin, what is your average Risk to Reward? Just curious
Hum... well I haven't really calculated it seriously though, but it's roughly negative 2:1 I guess? I set to 100 ticks to both SL and TP when I enter. Usually, I don't change this SL but I usually reduce the TP to 50 or less as I see PA often hesitates after reaching 50 ticks or something. Yes, I know negative RR is a losing strategy in the long run and I am working hard to fix it... The best solution to it I think is to wait some 'deep' pull-back but my nature doesn't allow it very often....

Hi Justin,
I have taken your chart and made a few annotations. I hope it helps in some way.
I get the feeling, what you need to work on most is WAITING for PRICE to come to a Zone if Interest.
Try going back on a 5 Min. Chart and look for Supply and Demand Zones that have caused a Break of Structure.
When Price Returns to Test the Supply or Demand see how it Reacts. Like I have highlighted in the Chart attached.
It will usually delivery a very good Risk to Reward and dramatically Reduce the amount of Trades needed Per Day.
I hope you don't mind me adding my ideas to the mix I know it isn't easy trying to make sense of someone else’s way of Trading.

Hi, Steve
Thank you very much for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Actually, I am reading your posts easy day very carefully and try to mimic your strategy. It looks quite intuitive and easy in hindsight but in real time trading it's not that easy as it can be interpreted in different ways to amateurs like me. I need to train my eyes and brain to understand your strategy completely. Actually, I tried one during today's trading. It's not my typical trading style as you may see. Does this also make sense to you?

I guess I misinterpreted your strategy in this trading and I luckily got out in profit....

And how about the following ones. Do they make sense to you as well?

Hi, Justin I know trying to Copy someone else’s Method is not easy. It's about finding Inspiration and Interpreting it in a way that will make sense to you.
You need to find a way to make Reading Structure work for YOU. It's what I have had to do because my way isn't necessarily by the Book but it works for me most of the time.
I hope the Chart Helps.
Just ask if you have any questions
