I am with IC Markets and I pay about 3.50 Euro per standardlot which is a lot if you scalp, having a 4 pip SL and target of 4 pips. Is this still fine to do? What is the RR you guys are usually targeting?

PVSRA Scalping with Cigarguy

What is the RR you guys are getting? I find it hard trading 1 R as the commission eats half of my profit when scalping for 2-5 pips. If I choose a 1:2 RR, it usually ends up being 1:1. Any advice on this?

I'd love to get some feedback on my trade: - My entries are described on the image and what I saw. - I didn't have any fundamental reason this time to short, just technical as price was at R61 and showed weakness - As price came back to R61 the ...

Using 50 EMA on 5M from different time frames

Thank you kindly for the explanation. However, what made you so sure that this demand will hold? Was it just the on the M15 for the M30 zone? Potentially, you could trade all M30 demands along the way no? Sorry for the many questions, just trying to ...

Since I trade the 5M as well and was looking at EU, I just wonder what made you take the first two buys on the bottom? Was there a big zone to the left or did you just monitor the 5M chart and watched PA and thought "oh, there are many wicks, ...

It's basically making some sort of drop, base, drop while the bear candle at the 2nd drop engulfs. Would that be correct? And if it engulfs, what would you like to see engulfed? Just the one previous candles body? Does it have to engulf in one ...

Will my indicator-based strategy ever stop working?

I think there is a misunderstanding. I totally get your point now, but when I mentioned that my strategy is indicator based with a bit of PA, then I meant that there is a pattern I follow that needs to meet certain criteria to enter. Most of these ...

Will my indicator-based strategy ever stop working?

The link does not work. I agree, yet I am asking others to confirm it because I am unsure. I've heard many things and theories, but I am open-minded and have an ear to listen and to learn in case MAs and RSI could lose values.

Will my indicator-based strategy ever stop working?

I get your point somehow, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Counter questions: What makes you think that a standard indicator, like the moving average or an RSI will lose value in the future? You believe price movements will be SO different (but it ...

Will my indicator-based strategy ever stop working?

Hmm very interesting observation or may I almost call it a fact? Nonethless, I will experiment with the stochastics and see what I can come up with as I use it as well. Thank you for your insights here!

Is the 50 EMA truly a SR or just a visual help?

Hey C-12, Do you mind explaining how you are able to join such "waterfalls" and what you were looking for before entering a sell, starting from the first short position?
