Scalping is a guaranteed heart attack. I quit my job in 2014 to focus entirely on trading, my passion. I’m 52 now, and I want to keep working for a long time because trading is my whole life. However, as you get older, stress destroys your health ...

This is my methodology. I often talk about under-leveraging, because you must always keep in mind that a strong flow will eventually move against you. Under-leveraging allows you to underutilize the account under normal conditions while still ...

It's hard to say, as it depends on the strategy, the asset's volatility, the entry points, the number of positions, spread, swap... Generally speaking, with 0.01 lots on the DAX—which is very volatile—you indeed need at least $1,000 per 0.01 lot to ...

M1 Countertrend Scalping Strategy

I completely agree. With a substantial account size and proper position sizing (under-leveraging), there is no need to close losing positions that pose no risk to the account itself. You simply let the price return to them. Nevertheless, some ...

Thanks Ginshan , that’s insightful and really highlights the major flaw in the Kof method: blind timing. It’s a method I apply to my own approach—no Kof for me. Ideally, for immediate counter-trend trading, you enter ...

For very short-term traders. An "excess" is visible on BTC on a low time frame (M2, shown here). No trade, i hate BTC. Juste for explanation. The price action is vertical with large candles, and the white EMAs are significantly ...

...I told you so—I didn’t have the slightest doubt in your ability to get back on the right track quickly. That’s cool, I’m happy for you. As for me, things are going very well too. But let’s not get carried away: chart analysis ...

What follows is a trade taken just before the US session open. I exited at my TP one minute before the opening bell. I spotted a Kumo Anomaly on the M6, a support level on the H3, and then another Kumo Anomaly appeared on the M2. Typically, the TP ...

I’m returning to my thread, and it feels like walking into a house that’s been shuttered for years—it smells of dust and there isn't a sound... I’ve followed my own path since starting this thread back in 2017, but I’ve always compared my different ...
